INSTITUTE, West Virginia -- WVSU freshman Nika Tadic from Split, Croatia, has been named the Mountain East Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week.

Tadic went 3-0 in singles including wins over second and third place Charleston and West Liberty.

She began the week playing #6 singles but was forced to move up a spot for the final two matches due to a teammate's injury.

Against the Hilltoppers at #5 singles Tadic lost the first set but rallied to win the next two in what was the final match on the court and the one that decided the winning team as the Yellow Jackets stayed undefeated.

In Wednesday' match at Charleston Tadic teamed with junior Kayla McKnight to win a key doubles match in a 9-7 tiebreaker after escaping three match points in the Golden Eagles favor.
