OGDEN, Utah—The Big Sky Conference selected the first tennis Player of the Week of the 2016 season on Wednesday. Idaho’s Lucia Badillos was honored as the women’s selection.
Badillos, a sophomore from La Rioja, Spain, opened the season with a 1-1 record as Idaho fell to neighbor Washington State and grabbed an early conference victory over Montana State in Pullman, Wash. She fell in a hard-fought, three-set loss to WSU's Aneta Miksovska 4-6, 7-5, 10-2 on Friday.
She rebounded on Sunday with the match-clinching point against MSU in a 5-2 win.
