University of Missouri-St. Louis junior Louisa Werner has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week, as announced today by the league office.
 
Werner went undefeated in singles and doubles play last weekend as the Tritons defeated Missouri Western, 9-0, and lost a 5-4 decision to Northwest Missouri State.
 
Werner won both singles matches in straight sets, playing at the No. 2 position. She defeated Ceara Boldridge of Missouri Western, 6-2, 6-0 before a 6-3, 6-3 win over Natalia Galindo of Northwest Missouri State.
 
Werner then teamed with freshman Renee Verboven to pick up two wins at No. 1 doubles, including an 8-4 victory over No. 22 ranked Camila Quesda and Alexis Bartek of Northwest Missouri State. It was just the opposing duo's second loss of the year. Werner and Verboven also defeated Missouri Western's Denise Chiao and Meara Smith, 8-3.
 
Werner has won five straight singles matches and is 9-4 overall. In doubles, Werner and Verboven improved to 7-2.
 
UMSL (1-2) will play Lewis & Clark Community College on Friday afternoon before hosting Lindenwood on Tuesday.
