Bolton, Hart Named UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athletes of Week
November 12, 2019 | Women's Tennis
The women's tennis tandem of Elysia Bolton and Jada Hart have been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athletes of the Week for Nov. 4-10.
Bolton and Hart won five matches in five days at the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships, culminating in an upset of top-ranked Anna Rogers and Alana Smith of NC State to seize the doubles title. The Bruin pair never dropped as much as a set during its run through the tournament, which also featured a commanding performance versus 11th-ranked Lauren Alter and Tatum Rice of Arkansas in the quarterfinal round. Formerly known as the National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, the ITA's fall finale is the only collegiate tournament to feature the nation's best players from all five divisions. Bolton/Hart is just the third UCLA pair to claim the fall national doubles title (Keri Phebus/Susie Starrett in 1995, Catherine Harrison/Kyle McPhillips in 2014).
This is Bolton's second UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week award of her career and Hart's first.
Also nominated: Lindsey Corsaro, W. Basketball; Mariel Galdiano, W. Golf; Jalen Hill, M. Basketball; Mac May, W. Volleyball; Ruby Neave, W. Swimming & Diving; Ashley Sanchez, W. Soccer.
