By Wes Mayberry

ADA — Ohio Northern freshman Jamie Hurst (Granger, Ind./Penn) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week, sponsored by Midstream Lighting, for the week of March 20-26.

This is Hurst's second career OAC Player of the Week accolade, as she also earned the honor on March 20.

The latest recognition comes after Hurst went 4-0 in her matches last week against Marietta and Wittenberg.

She won 6-0, 6-0 at No. 2 singles and 8-0 at No. 3 doubles in ONU's 8-1 victory over Marietta and won 4-6, 6-3, 10-5 at No. 2 singles and 8-6 at No. 2 doubles in the Polar Bears' 8-1 victory at Wittenberg to extend their current win streak to seven matches.

Hurst has not lost a court since falling at No. 2 singles against Oberlin on March 5, as she is 13-0 since then.

On the season, Hurst is 18-11 overall, including 8-6 in singles play and 10-5 in doubles.

The Polar Bears (10-3 overall, 1-0 OAC) return to action on Friday to host Muskingum at 5 p.m.
