The Montana State men’s and women’s tennis program each had a student-athlete named Big Sky Conference Player of the Week for their efforts last weekend.

The sophomore defeated the Bulldogs’ top player Aglaya Kokurina on Friday and knocked off the Eagles’ Marie Demerath 6-4, 6-1 on Saturday. In addition, she combined with McKenzie Hilmer to beat Gonzaga’s Clare Dodge and Danielle Farmer 8-1 and Eastern Washington’s Rachel Berger and Judy Liening 8-2.
Turzanski, a native of Lodz, Poland, helped Montana State to a 3-0 record. The Bobcats swept Lewis-Clark State, Seattle and MSU Billings as Turzanski was undefeated in both singles and doubles play.
