ST. LOUIS – The top doubles team in the Missouri Valley Conference from 2021 is rolling again in 2022, as the duo of Tijana Zlatanovic and Tara Damnjanovic earned honors Tuesday from the league. Zlatanovic was named the MVC Singles Player of the Week and she, along with Damnjanovic, were named the MVC Doubles Team of the Week.
Zlatanovic went 3-0 last weekend for the Redbirds at the No. 1 spot, helping them to three-straight 7-0 sweeps in as many days. On Friday, she battled back from a first-set tiebreaker to win easily in set two for her first victory of the weekend, and then came from behind in a pair of tiebreakers to win in straight sets on Saturday against Chicago State.
