Yuma Daijima Named BIG EAST Male Singles Player of the Week

OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton men's tennis sophomore Yuma Daijima earned BIG EAST Male Singles Player of the Week honors, the league announced on Monday afternoon.

This marks the second straight week Daijima has earned a BIG EAST weekly honor, as he teamed up with Alejandro Gandini for BIG EAST Doubles Team of the Week last week.

The sophomore posted a 2-0 record at the No. 6 singles slot last week, helping the Bluejays split a pair of matches against previously unbeaten Youngstown State (W, 5-2) and former Missouri Valley Conference rival, Drake (L, 4-3).
