TENNIS ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Sasser, a standout doubles player for the Aggies, earned three doubles victories over the course of the week. The Cameron senior picked up his first win after he and partner Duje Janjic topped Southeastern Oklahoma’s Devon Lindley and Thomas Adams in an 8-0 decision. In CU’s contest against Incarnate Word, Sasser and Janjic were too much for Carlos Olvera and Aiden DeLeon and recorded a 9-8 (5) win over the pair. Sasser and his partner ended the week by defeating Northwest Missouri State’s Philip Hultquist and Giovanni Auricchio 8-5.
WOMEN’S
Sara Londono, Cameron University, JR, Medelin, Colombia, Colombo Britanico HS
Londono had a fantastic week of tennis, picking up two singles wins and two doubles wins.

In doubles, she and partner Florencia Tornero overcame Andrea Georgescu and Mayra Leal 8-6 at the No. 2 position. In a doubles match later in the week, Londono and Tornero bested Northwest Missouri State’s Emily Hoffman and Alexis Bartek 8-3.
