Emory's Colin Egan Named UAA Player of the Week

Sophomore Colin Egan (Chapel Hill, NC) has been selected as the University Athletic Association Tennis Player of the Week after helping the Eagles to a pair of wins in NCAA Tournament action. It is the second time this year that he has been selected for the honor. 

Egan went undefeated in both singles and doubles play in helping the Eagles advance to the NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Championships. Egan recorded a 6-1, 6-0 decision at No. 4 singles against Hampden-Sydney College on Saturday and teamed with Chris Jordan for the first time this season at third doubles for an 8-2 win over the Tigers.  In a 5-2 victory over North Carolina Wesleyan College on Sunday, Egan and Jordan posted a decisive 8-1 triumph at third doubles.  He then provided the match-clinching point with a hard-fought 6-3, 7-6 (7-1) victory over the Battling Bishops at fourth singles. 

Egan has compiled a dual-match singles record of 16-4 this year, 15-4 at the No. 4 slot, and has captured eight of his last 10 outings.

Egan, and his teammates, ranked No. 2 in the nation among Division III Teams and owners of a 19-3 won-lost ledger, return to action on May 19 when they battle Kenyon College in the NCAA Quarterfinal round in Claremont, California.
