Ferris State's Kevin Kovacs Claims GLIAC Men's Tennis Player Of Week Honor For Second-Straight Week

Big Rapids, Mich. - For the second consecutive week, Ferris State University men's tennis junior standout Kevin Kovacs (Toronto, Ontario) has been chosen as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Player of the Week.

Kovacs led the Bulldogs during last week's spring break trip to Florida.

The Bulldog standout started the week by recording a pair of wins against Florida Southern, which included a straight-set sweep at one singles and a doubles win at the third flight. He picked up two more wins on Tuesday in a 7-0 triumph over Augustana, recording a 6-2, 6-2 win at one singles and a 6-0 decision at three doubles.

His lone setback of the week came to the nation's #28 ranked Marc Mail of nationally-ranked Embry-Riddle in a tightly-contested 5-7, 6-0, 5-7 decision on Thursday when he also moved up to two doubles and recorded a close 7-6 (7-4) win while paired with Felipe Iser.

In FSU's final match of the trip against Eckerd on Friday, the duo posted a 6-4 win at two doubles and he won 6-2, 6-2 at one singles before play was halted due to weather.

For the week in Florida, he finished with an overall 7-1 record, including a 3-1 singles mark and a 4-0 doubles record as FSU improved to 9-3 overall this year.

The Bulldogs are next slated to begin Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play on the road at Davenport on March 27.
