OGDEN, Utah—Idaho sophomore Marianna Petrei was voted the Big Sky's women's tennis player of the week on Wednesday. The honor is the first of the season and third of her career.
Petrei, a native of Udine, Italy, started off her season with a pair of dominant No. 1 singles wins on the Vandals' two-match road trip to Portland. Saturday against Portland, she teamed with Lucia Badillos at No. 1 doubles to defeat the Pilots' Jelena Lukic and Jelena Lazarevic 6-3 and claim the early doubles point. Petrei then made quick work of Lukic on the top singles court, winning 6-2, 6-2 to put Idaho on the brink of the team win.
