SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - For the second straight week and the fifth time overall this season a Sacramento State women's tennis player has taken home weekly honors from the Big Sky Conference with senior Maddy Ferreros doing the most recent honors for the Hornets on April 2.

It is the fourth career weekly honor from the league office for Ferreros, whose last award came on April 5, 2023.  She joins teammates Emilija Pranyte (twice), Lou Baudouin and Reese Walker as Sacramento State winners this spring.

Ferreros finished last week with a 3-0 record, winning both of her singles contests in three sets and taking home a doubles victory alongside teammate Irene Riva. The tandem was also leading their other doubles match before the Hornets clinched the point early, ending the bid for a perfect 4-0 weekend.

The duo opened with a 6-4 win over Weber State's Jessica Hill and Sydney Schnell before switching to singles where Ferreros defeated Schnell for a second time on the day with a 6-7 (5), 6-0, 1-0 (10-8), victory at the No. 1 spot in the lineup, helping Sacramento State to a 7-0 shutout of the Wildcats.

Two days later, Ferreros rallied for another singles victory at the top spot in the lineup, outlasting Idaho State's Asem Shoybek, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, en route to a 5-2 team victory over the Bengals.

Ferreros' two singles triumphs extended her winning streak to six straight matches and improved her to 10-4 overall at the top spot in the lineup this year, the most wins in the Big Sky at that position.

As a team, the Hornets have a 15-2 overall record and a 5-0 mark in Big Sky play, having won their last eight straight matches.
