Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week
Bryan Koniecko, Ohio State
Jr., Long Island, N.Y. / Syosset

Koniecko won four matches last week in both singles and doubles play to help No. 2 Ohio State to two more dual wins, improving its record to 20-1 on the season.  Against Notre Dame on March 28, Koniecko teamed with Steven Moneke at No. 2 Doubles to earn an 8-4 win.  The junior then went on to defeat Brett Helgeson of the Fighting Irish in straight sets at No. 1 Singles, 6-4, 6-2. In the Buckeyes' second match of the weekend against Michigan State, Koniecko and Moneke played together again, this time at No. 1 Doubles.  The duo earned a win over MSU's Alex Forger and Billy Gardner, 8-2.  To complete his perfect weekend, Koniecko notched another No. 1 Singles win over Nick Rinks in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.  This is Koniecko's second career weekly honor.
