Maider Martin Named GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week
CORPUS CHRISTI – Maider Martin has been named the GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Pepsi. Martin earned the award after leading the women's tennis team to their first victory of the season at Houston.
The freshman sensation helped power the team to a 4-3 victory over No. 75 Houston in the season opener on the road. Houston came into the match 3-0, but Martin set the tone for the team with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 2 singles to score the first point of the match.
After tying at 3-3 at the conclusion of singles, Martin and the Islanders would go on to take the doubles point for the 4-3 win. Martin and teammate Mia Matuszak were up 6-5 at No. 3 doubles when the match was clinched.
Martin and the rest of the Islanders will return to action with the start of conference action, as they will take on Central Arkansas in Dallas, Texas.
