In the final weekly selection of the season, Drury University sophomore Maximilian Hepp has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week in the sport of men's tennis, the conference announced Tuesday.

The Panthers took three wins last week, including two against conference foes. Up first was a road match on April 7 at Southwest Baptist where Drury just edged Southwest Baptist 5-4. Against UMSL on April 10 and William Jewell April 11, Drury took home matches 7-2 and 8-1, respectively.

Hepp battled it out against his SW Baptist No. 1 singles opponent for the 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 victory before beating UMSL's Nils Mueggenburg and Jewell's Amery Clews 6-3, 6-0 and 6-0, 6-1, respectively. With partner Jorge Nadal in the No. 1 doubles position, Hepp again won a close match to SWB 9-8 before their respective 8-5 and 8-0 wins against the Triton and Cardinal pairs.

The Auenwald, Germany, native has bookended the season after earning the first (Feb. 12) and last weekly selection of 2015, which makes for three career weekly honors.
