PEORIA, Ill. -- Sophomore Nikki Perlwitz (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week announced Wednesday after helping Bradley Women's Tennis split a pair of road matches.
Perlwitz went a combined 3-0 in singles and doubles action in outings against SIU Edwardsville and Saint Louis last week. After teaming with Bozana Lojpur for a 6-3 win in doubles, Perlwitz swept SIUE's Caitlyn Sporing, 6-4, 6-0 to temporarily put the Braves in front, 2-1, in Friday's match at SIUE. While her doubles match Saturday at Saint Louis was halted after the Billkens had already clinched the team point, Perlwitz pulled out a three-set win in her singles match, again pushing Bradley ahead, 3-2, in the team score.
