Today will include Athletes of the Week for Women’s Tennis, and Men’s Tennis. This week’s selections included contests from Monday, March 4 through Sunday, March 10. A total of 3 student-athletes were recognized for their performances. Men’s Tennis Player of the Week Josh Jarvis / Jr / Lancaster Bible College / Kinzers, Pa. / Pequea Valley HS Jarvis won 3 of his 5 matches in Hilton Head, S.C. this past week. The junior racked up two singles wins over Baldwin Wallace and Saint Vincent while scoring one doubles win over Saint Vincent with teammate Caleb Cavaiani. This is the first Player of the Week nod for Jarvis, who was a Second Team honoree at 1st Doubles in 2023 with partner Devon Clemmer. Women’s Tennis Player of the Week - Volt Division Olivia Bandini / So / Penn State Harrisburg / Arlington, Va. / Saint Victoire International School Olivia Bandini was nearly perfect in her first action of the season, helping lead Penn State Harrisburg to a 3-1 week of competition in Hilton Head, S.C. The sophomore went 4-0 from her No. 2 singles spot and 3-1 while teaming with Anita Liu in the second doubles position. All four of her solo victories came in two sets, while her lone doubles setback was a back-and-forth 8-5 decision. In part due to her return to the lineup, the Lions got back to the .500 mark for the first time this season. This is the third Player of the Week nod for Bandini, who previously won for the weeks of April 4, 2023, and October 11, 2022.
