MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Two-sport athlete Amy Unzicker (Morton,
Ill./Morton) knocked off a Division II opponent to end a perfect week in
singles tennis and was rewarded with the Midwest Conference Performer of
the Week honor.
Unzicker, who also does duty with the Fighting Scots women’s soccer
team, focused on tennis for three matches last week and went 3-0 at No.
1 singles. The sophomore began the week with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Megan
Funk of Knox, she then outlasted Beloit’s Hannah Perwin 7-6 (11-9), 6-3
and finished the stretch with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Anele Novak of
Division II Quincy. Unzicker teamed with Kimi Wegner as the
Fighting Scots No. 1 doubles team and was 1-2 in that competition.
Unzicker and Wegner downed Knox 8-4, but fell to Beloit and Quincy by
identical 8-2 scores.
For the season, Unzicker is 9-4 overall at No. 1 singles and has won
seven of her last 10 matches.
