Sophomore Christina Watson was named the University Athletic Association Athlete of the Week after helping the women's tennis team to a championship appearance at the ITA National Indoor Team Championships this weekend in Nicholasville, KY.
Watson went 3-0 in singles and 2-1 with Stephanie Taylor at the No.-1 doubles position, helping Emory to a runner-up finish at the ITA National Indoor Team Championships. Watson won two of her three singles matches in straight sets including a 7-5, 6-2 decision at fourth singles in the championship match.
