After helping Louisiana Tech claim a pair of conference road wins, Alexia Romero was named Conference USA Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Week in an announcement made by the league office on Wednesday.
Romero went a perfect 4-0 for LA Tech as the Bulldogs swept league matches at New Mexico State and UTEP.
The senior provided the clinching point in both matches, coming back to win 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 6 position in singles to help defeat the Aggies, 4-3. She turned around the very next day and put a cap on the 4-0 shutout victory over the Miners, winning 6-3, 6-3. She also teamed up with Olga Bienzobas to win by a score of 7-5 in both matches at the No. 1 doubles position.
The fifth-year senior is currently 11-3 in dual singles and 8-7 in dual doubles this spring.
This is the first weekly award for the Neuquen, Argentina native. She becomes the seventh Bulldog in program history to receive CUSA Athlete of the Week and the third this season, joining teammates Olga Bienzobas and Ana Rodrigues.
