Soleymani Named Summit League Player of the Week

VERMILLION, S.D. - South Dakota senior Shadi Soleymani has been named the Summit League Player of the Week in women' tennis, the league announced on Tuesday. It is the first weekly honor of Soleymani's career.

Soleymani (Vasteras, Sweden) finished with perfect 2-0 records in singles and doubles to help the Coyotes to a pair of dual wins over Southeast Missouri State (4-3) and Bradley (7-0) last weekend. Soleymani earned a 6-7 (1), 6-1, 6-2 win over SE Missouri's Jessica Courtnell at No. 3 singles, which proved to be the decisive victory in the Coyotes' 4-3 win. Soleymani also earned a 6-1, 6-1 win over Bradley's Meredith McDonagh later in the day.

In doubles, Soleymani teamed with senior Alena Sergeychik (Moscow, Russia) for a pair of 8-7 doubles wins as well.

Soleymani is 12-5 in singles play this season and is 9-9 in doubles play for the Coyotes (5-3).

South Dakota resumes action Sunday in Orlando, Fla., against Bemidji State and Southern Indiana.
