Vols sweep SEC tennis honors

Giles Hussey and Johannus Monday honored by SEC after Vols beat Duke, North Carolina State.

A pair of University of Tennessee men’s tennis players swept Southeastern Conference honors this week.

UT grad transfer Giles Hussey was named SEC co-Player of the Week, as he shared the award with Mississippi State’s Forian Broska, and Johannus Monday was named co-Freshman of the Week.

Monday has earned or shared the conference’s Freshman of the Week award for each of the last three weeks.

This week, he shares the award with South Carolina’s Toby Samuel.

The duo of Hussey and Monday went a combined 7-0 in the Vols’ two weekend matches against a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference fores in Duke and North Carolina State.

Tennessee has an 8-0 record heading into this week’s ITA Indoor National Championships.

The Big Orange will return to the courts on Friday when they collide with No. 2 North Carolina at the Atkins Tennis Center in Champaign, Illinois. The event will be hosted by the University of Illinois.
