Barbery and Maletin Earn First MVC Doubles Team of the Week

ST. LOUIS - For the first time in their illustrious careers, the Braves sturdy No. 1 Doubles tandem of senior Natalia Barbery and Sandra Maletin have been named the Missouri Valley Conference Doubles Team of the Week, according to an announcement from the league office Wednesday afternoon.

Barbery and Maletin picked up their second win of the season, doing so comfortably by a score of 6-3 over Southeast Missouri State's No. 1 Doubles team of Romana Tarajova and Kseniya Zonova Saturday at The Clubs at River City.

Despite this being their first recognition for MVC Team of the Week, Barbery and Maletin are no strangers to doubles success.
