ADA — Ohio Northern freshman Noah Elliott (Hilliard/Davidson) has been dubbed the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week for the second time this season, the league office announced Monday afternoon.

Last week, Elliott compiled a perfect 10-0 record in five dual matches, guiding the Polar Bears to a 3-2 mark over the program's annual Spring Break trip to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Due to his efforts, ONU defeated Randolph (Va.) 9-0, Bridgewater (Va.) 8-1, and Roanoke (Va.) 9-0 over the week-long excursion.

In singles play, the freshman posted four victories in the No. 2 slot and a 6-0, 6-0 triumph over Randolph's Brandon Braud on the No. 3 singles court. Meanwhile, Elliott teamed up with sophomore Vinh Thai (Galloway/St. Charles) for three victories at No. 1 doubles and sophomore Hoang Do (Powell/Olentangy Liberty) for two more wins in No. 2 doubles action.

With his performances, Elliott now leads the team with a 9-4 singles record, an 8-2 doubles mark, and a 17-6 overall record this season.

The announcement marks the second time Elliott has received the honor in the 2018-19 campaign, having also been tabbed Player of the Week on February 18.

Ohio Northern (4-4 overall) will return to action against NAIA foe Spring Arbor (Mich.) this Saturday at the Westwood Tennis Center in Lima. First serve is scheduled for 3 p.m.
