SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Elon’s Frida Jansaker has been named the Southern Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Week for all matches played March 25-31.  Jansaker was 4-0 last week in singles and doubles play as the Phoenix earned a pair of conference wins on the road at Georgia Southern (5-2) and College of Charleston (5-2).

Jansaker stretched her unbeaten streak in singles play to four matches after posting wins over Georgia Southern’s Jordana Klein (6-1, 6-4) and College of Charleston’s Kelly Kambourelis (6-4, 6-1) at No. 2 singles. All four victories, and 11 of her 13 this spring, have come in straight sets for the Kristianstad, Sweden, native.

In doubles action, Jansaker teamed with Jordan Johnston at Elon’s No. 1 spot and went 2-0 last week with victories over GSU’s Paola Garrido and Mary Phillips Smith (8-2) and College of Charleston’s Irene Viana and Katherine Schofield (8-3).  Jansaker and Johnston are now 13-2 in dual matches this spring.

The Phoenix (15-3, 5-2 SoCon) returns to the courts Saturday when Elon visits Wofford (5-11, 1-4 SoCon).

Other top performers in the Southern Conference included Appalachian State’s Ellie Linsell, College of Charleston’s Brooke McAmis, Furman’s Alex Moreno-Kaste, Georgia Southern’s Paola Garrido, UNCG’s Stephanie Falcon, Samford’s Jessica Northcutt and Chattanooga’s Kelsey Coots.
