BOCA RATON, Fla. – A perfect 6-0 mark in three matches in three days has earned Florida Atlantic University sophomore Kevin Huempfner the latest Conference USA Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week award.
Huempfner was flawless in the Owls' return to the courts after a month away from competition. The team began the long weekend on the road in Deland, Florida on Friday. In a 5-2 win over Stetson, Huempfner teamed with Hunter Robbins for the first time this season in doubles, and won at No. 2, 6-3; he then picked up a straight-set victory at No. 4 singles, 6-3, 6-2. He repeated the feat in another FAU road victory Saturday, as part of a 7-0 shutout of Georgia Southern. Again with Robbins, this time at No. 1, he was a 6-4 doubles winner; moving up to No. 3 singles, he won 6-1, 6-3.
Finally on Sunday, returning home after these two road matches, Huempfner and Alvaro Fernandez Horta were 6-4 winners on the No. 2 court to finish off a 3-0 doubles weekend. Then the Neckartailfingen, Germany native won the Owls' only match on the singles courts, taking a No. 3 win in three sets, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5).
Huempfner and the Owls will, this week, again have three matches on three straight dates, this time all at home at the FAU Tennis Complex. The stretch begins Thursday morning, hosting South Alabama at 10:30 a.m. On Friday, at that same first serve time, the team plays Liberty, and the weekend concludes Saturday at 12:30 p.m., taking on UCF.
