Emory’s Wylie Named UAA Women’s Tennis Player of the Week

Emory’s Wylie Named UAA Women’s Tennis Player of the Week

Emory University senior Jordan Wylie was named the University Athletic Association's (UAA) Women's Tennis Player of the Week, after leading the fourth-ranked Eagles to a 9-0 win over 16th-ranked Washington and Lee University on Saturday. 

Teamed with freshman Madison Gordon, Wylie won the first doubles match in the contest by an 8-2 score over the Generals' Meghan Buell and Chelsea Mixson.  She followed that with a straight-set 6-1, 6-1 win over Claire Cahill in the second singles match. 

Wylie, who was named to the all-UAA First Team for both singles and doubles play last week, improved to 14-11 in singles matches and to 13-6 in doubles action this season with the victories.  In addition, her 69 career singles victories moved her into a tie for 16th-place in school history in the category. 

Wylie's performance this season has helped the Eagles notch a 14-4 record during the spring season.  Emory was selected to the field for the 2013 NCAA Tournament on Monday, and will open tournament play at home on Saturday after a first-round bye.

September 24th: Gabrielle Clark
