BOCA RATON, Fla. – Junior
Mark Havlicek has been named the American Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, as announced by the league on Monday.
Havlicek has built a 5-1 dual season record and was instrumental in the Owls' last victory. He and
Marek Pazdera, who are ranked No. 82 nationally, were leading their doubles competition 5-3. FGCU battled back to tie the match at 5-5 before Havlicek held serve without a return by the Eagles. The duo then broke serve without surrendering a point to FGCU and in doing so, clinched the doubles point for the Owls. Both went on to win their singles matches to provide FAU with three points in the Owls' 4-1 victory.
The team, led by Havlicek, will embark on a four-match road swing that will begin this Thursday, Feb. 26 at UCF. The Owls will then play UPenn in Tampa on Sunday, March 1, Tulsa, Tuesday, March 3 in Tulsa and finally Tulane on Thursday, March 5 in New Orleans.
The Owls will return home to the friendly confines of the Kimberly V. Strauss Tennis Center to host Utah State on March 10, Rice on March 13, Old Dominion on March 15, and East Tennessee State on March 18.
