ST. LOUIS – Junior Chieko Yamada helped the University of Evansville women's tennis team to a 7-0 win over Missouri State on Friday and was honored today as the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week.
"This is really well-deserved. Chieko has taken on the top player from every team we have played all season; even though she started out the season with some really tough matches, she has come back really strong over the last two months. She has taken on the best players the MVC has to offer and has beaten most of them.
