NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Dasia Harris and Adam Albrecht are the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Players of the Week in tennis for Feb. 22-28. The GCAC announced the honors Tuesday.
Harris, a sophomore from Sugar Land, Texas, and a graduate of Elkins High School, was unbeaten in three Friday matches during the Gold Nuggets' 3-0 week. Harris teamed with Sha'Nel Bruins for an 8-0 victory against Belhaven's Brittany Keeling and Ellen Scott. Harris beat Keeling 6-1, 6-1 and Tougaloo's Tynaka Hunter 8-2 in singles.
Albrecht, a junior from Ladna, Czech Republic, and a graduate of Gymnasium Breclav, won twice in singles against NCAA Division I opponents — Austin Racine of Troy (3-6, 6-1, 6-1) and Ben Kelley of Presbyterian (6-2, 7-5) — and extended his singles win streak to six. He also won in doubles during a 4-3 victory Thursday against Troy, and he teamed with Tushar Mandlekar for a 6-3 victory against Tomas Fernandez and Filip Mansson that clinched the doubles point.
The GCAC awards are the first for Harris and the second for Albrecht, who also won in 2015.
