This post was written by Hatchet reporter Rob Bartnichak.

Coming off two victories this past weekend, women’s tennis sophomore Lana Robins was named Atlantic 10 Women’s Tennis Co-Performer of the Week, the league announced yesterday.

The award is the third of the season for Robins, who was named Performer of the Week on April 4 and February 4.

Robins was a crucial part of the Colonials’ unbeaten weekend, securing two singles victories at the No. 1 position that helped the team win in come-from-behind fashion against Xavier and conference rival Richmond. GW won both matches by a score of 4-3.

Against the Spiders, Robins secured the first singles point for her team after they dropped two doubles matches. Freshman Taylor Nederlander (6-2, 6-7, 6-4), sophomore Stephanie Wei (7-6, 6-4), and senior Isabella Escobar (7-5, 6-3) also added singles wins to earn the victory.

The Bellavue, Wash. native owns an overall record of 16-9 this season and a 5-4 record while playing at the No. 1 spot.

With the two wins this past weekend, the women’s tennis team improved to 7-5 overall and 4-2 in
the A-10.

The team is back in action on the road Saturday against Morgan State at 1 p.m. The Colonials next conference match is April 19 at home against George Mason at 11 a.m.
