NEW ULM -- Martin Luther College junior Anna Hemmelman was named Upper Midwest Athletic Conference women’s tennis player of the week for the second consecutive week on Monday.
Hemmelman earned the award after a 2-0 week in singles play. She won her No. 1 singles match against both Wartburg and UW-Superior in straight sets, and also finished 1-1 in No. 1 doubles.
With her two wins, Hemmelman pushed her singles record to 7-3 in 2019, and has now won seven of her last eight singles matches. Following her win at UW-Superior, Hemmelman also pushed her UMAC singles winning streak to 10 straight matches dating back to the 2017 season.
Hemmelman won the honor last week, and also won it twice in her sophomore campaign in 2018.
Hemmelman and the Knights are now 1-1 in UMAC playing, and will host Minnesota Morris on Tuesday in the team’s home opener.
