SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - Maddie Whip (Sydney, Australia) has been selected as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Women's Tennis Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday. 

Whip came away with a strong weekend at Grand Valley and Davenport, coming within four points of going unbeaten in both singles and doubles while playing exclusively at the No. 1 positions. On Friday, she shook off her first GLIAC doubles loss after a hard-fought battle that ultimately ended in a tiebreaker before grinding out a 6-4, 7-6 victory over GVSU's Neus Ramos. Then on Saturday, Whip helped her team secure the all important doubles point at Davenport with a 6-4 win, and in singles, her victory of 7-6, 6-4 over DU's Sienna Opray gave the Lakers a second team point to help them to a 4-3 win over the Panthers. 

Whip and the Lakers return to action on Friday, April 18 when they host Michigan Tech with the first serve scheduled for 10 a.m.
