QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's women's tennis team received its second weekly award of the year as Delia Arranz was named the BIG EAST Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week Tuesday evening following a combined 3-1 record in singles and doubles play to help lead her team to a pair of victories.
"It is great to see Delia selected as BIG EAST Athlete of the week," said head coach Lauren Leo. "She competed extremely well this past weekend against NJIT and Harvard."
The senior from Barcelona, Spain had a stellar week on the tennis court, as she finished with a perfect 2-0 record in singles play.
