Tennis Four Named GSU Student-Athletes of the Week

ATLANTA - The Georgia State Panthers pulled off an incredible feat by winning the Sun Belt Championship with only four available players. Those four have been named GSU Student-Athlete of the Week.

Kristin Rehse, Damira Muminoviu0107, Daniela Ramirez, and Lara Vovk overcame tremendous adversity to defeat both Appalachian State and ULM 4-3 in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds respectively. On Sunday's championship match Rehse won in three sets, clinching a 4-2 victory over South Alabama and the team's second Sun Belt title in the last three seasons.

GSU's Fearsome Foursome was able to take home the trophy, despite playing with the minimum number of allowed athletes and beginning every match down 2-0 due to walkover defeats in the fifth and sixth singles flights.
