SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Feb. 10, 2015) – ETSU junior Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) has been named the Southern Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Week for all matches played through Feb. 8. Choo is 4-0 in singles play and is 3-0 in doubles competition as the Buccaneers have opened the season 5-0 in dual matches this spring.

Choo is 3-0 at the No. 1 singles position this spring and earned a 6-1, 6-1 win over Austin Peay’s Hannah Tatlock at No. 2 singles.  Choo has won all four of her singles matches in straight sets.

She began the season with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Appalachian State’s Clare Cox before posting a 6-2, 6-3 win over Radford’s Natalie Sayer.  The Kuching, Malaysia’s third win at the top singles spot was a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Belmont’s Lindsey Whitehead.

Competing at No. 1 doubles with Reginka Nychytailova, ETSU’s top pair claimed a 6-3 win over Radofrd’s Gemma Walls and Taylor Newman.  Choo was then paired with Ana Gerbasi for her next two doubles matches.  The pair of Choo and Gerbasi crused to a 6-1 victory over Belmont’s Whitehead and Kendall Warren before posting a 6-2 win over Austin Peay’s Tatlock and Ornella Di Salvo.

ETSU returns to the courts Saturday when the Buccaneers face No. 74 Mississippi State.
