NEW ORLEANS, La. - - Freshman Dorottya Magas was chosen as the Conference USA Women's Tennis Player of the Week, the league office announced on Thursday.
Magas, a newcomer from Budapest, Hungary, won the award after leading Tulane to a pair of road wins against ranked Pac 10 opponents, winning the clinching match in both contests. She opened the weekend with a 2-6, 7-6, 6-3 win over Arizona State's Sabrina Capannolo, fighting off a match point in the second set to help the Wave claim a 4-3 victory over the 47th-ranked Sun Devils. She then posted a 6-2, 6-2 win over Arizona's Jessie Rochefort in Tulane's 4-3 triumph over the 36th-ranked Wildcats.
In addition to her singles wins, she teamed with junior Nancy Kockott to post wins at No. 2 doubles against both Arizona State and Arizona. For the year, Magas is an impressive 15-1 in singles play, with her lone loss coming in a three-set thriller. Magas and Kockott are also 10-2 in doubles action and ranked 46th as a team by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Thursday's award marks the second Player of the Week honor for Magas this season. She also picked up the recognition on March 9. As a team, Tulane has won five of the 11 Player of the Week awards this season, including each of the last four.
Tulane, currently ranked 19th by the ITA, continues action on Friday, as the Green Wave travel to face No. 13 Texas in Austin. The Wave are 16-1 overall and 11-1 against ranked foes.
