Junior Mackenzie McDonald (Piedmont, Calif.) of the UCLA men's tennis team was named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for May 23-30.
McDonald swept the NCAA individual titles in Tulsa on Monday, upsetting top-ranked Mikael Torpegaard of Ohio State 6-3, 6-3 in the singles final before defeating No. 8 Aurthur Rinderknech/Jackson Withrow of Texas A&M with partner Martin Redlicki in the doubles final, 6-4, 6-1. It was the first time in 45 years that UCLA has won both the NCAA singles and doubles titles in the same year—a feat that has only happened five times before in school history. McDonald is the first man in 15 years to win both the NCAA singles and doubles titles in the same year. The UCLA junior finished the season with a 22-1 overall singles record and a 19-6 doubles record.
This is McDonald's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of his career.
