Tennessee tennis student-athlete Daria Kuczer has been named as the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week.
Her honors come after defeating No. 25 Abigail Rencheli of North Carolina State, 7-5, 6-2, on Sunday. The victory is her fifth ranked win of the year and second against a top-25 opponent.
“Every team has an individual who is the heartbeat of their team, for us, Daria is that person and she has been from the moment she stepped on campus,” Lady Vols’ head coach Alison Ojeda said in a UT press release. “What makes me so excited about her receiving SEC Player of the Week honors is that she has worked so hard for so long on her on-court skills. When you work as hard as Daria does, you gain a sense of belief in yourself and this award is a great tangible benchmark of all that work she has put in.”
