TOWSON, Md. --- Moravian University freshman Kaelyn Balko has been named as the Landmark Conference Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week for her performance last week.
Balko had an undefeated week in Florida as the Greyhounds went 3-0 in non-conference action. Balko earned a trio of victories at fifth singles in wins versus the College of St. Scholastica (Minn.), Loras (Iowa) College and Covenant (Ga.) College, and she combined with fellow freshman Natalia Smith for a 3-0 mark in doubles action including a 2-0 mark at second doubles and a 1-0 slate at first doubles.
"Kaelyn did a terrific job for us during our spring break trip, winning all of her singles and doubles matches," Director of Tennis Mariana Freitas commented. "It's a lot of tennis in a short period of time and the conditions weren't easy, going from being indoors to competing outdoors in extreme heat, but she adjusted really well and pushed through. She's been a great addition to our lineup and has been playing really strong tennis for us so far this season."
The Hounds are scheduled to return to the hardcourt on Saturday, March 21 in a Landmark Conference match at Elizabethtown College starting at 12:00 p.m.
