A pair of Redhawk student-athletes have earned weekly recognition form the Ohio Valley Conference.
Tennis student-athlete Maja Bajorek earned OVC Singles Player of the Week. She won her lone singles match of the week taking down Antonia Ferrarini from the University of Southern Indiana. At the No. 1 slot in the lineup, she took the first set in a tiebreak winning 7-5. In the second set she came back from down 5-3 to win the second set 7-5 to clinch the point for SEMO.
This is the first time Bajorek has won the award this season, and the first time a Redhawk has won the singles player of the week award this season.
The Redhawks will return home for their final home match on Monday, April 6, at 2 p.m. against Lindenwood.
