Louisville senior Alejandro Calligari was named BIG EAST Tennis Player of the Week following his dominating performance last week.
Calligari helped the No. 13 ranked Cardinals to a 2-0 record last week, going 2-0 at the No. 3 singles spot and 2-0 in No. 3 doubles.
"I am so happy with the way Ale is competing," said U of L head coach Rex Ecarma. "He clinched our match versus Mississippi to win the National Indoor Regional and has been a great partner to any player that I put him with in doubles."
In singles action, Calligari defeated Murray State's Luka Milicevic 6-0, 6-1 in UofL's 7-0 victory on Feb. 3. He also downed Morehead State's Nathan Martin 6-0, 6-2 as the Cardinals posted their second shutout of the Feb. 3 doubleheader. In No. 3 doubles, the senior combined with Amaury Derognat to beat Murray State's Milicevic and Renaldo Domoney 8-3, while edging Morehead State's Roger White and Hugo Almonte 8-5.
