CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the third straight week, a UMBC Retriever has been tabbed the America East Male Tennis Player of the Week. Justin Carter takes home the honors for the second straight week. Joining him this week as the Women’s Player of the Week is Lauren Davis of Boston University.
Carter (Randallstown, Md.) ran his singles winning streak to four in a row with two victories this weekend over Navy and Delaware. Both of the victories came in straight sets from the No. 1 position. Though Carter dropped his only doubles match of the weekend, his play helped the Retrievers earn a pair of wins to bump their record to 5-5 this season. The freshman has won six of his last seven singles matches, all from the No. 1 position.
Davis (Mitchellville, Md.) made quick work of her only singles match and helped the Terries earn a 5-2 victory over defending Atlantic-10 champion Richmond. The freshman earned a 6-2, 6-2 victory against last year’s Atlantic-10 Rookie of the Year playing at the No. 1 position. Davis then went on to lend a hand in one of two Boston U. doubles victories.
