May 28, 2019 | Women's Tennis
Seniors Ayan Broomfield and Gabby Andrews from the UCLA women's tennis team have been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for May 20-26.
Broomfield and Andrews registered the program's first NCAA doubles title since 2008, outlasting Kate Fahey-Brienne Minor of Michigan 5-7, 7-6(6), 1-0(9) in the final round. The three-set win marked the pair's third of the week, posting a pair of 10-7 decisions before Saturday's 11-9 thriller. The duo posted tiebreaking wins in three other sets, as well. In order to reach the final, the Bruins dealt No. 1-seeded Angela Kulikov-Rianna Valdes of crosstown rival USC a 6-4, 6-4 loss in Friday's semifinal round. The third-seeded tandem handed losses to the first-, 10th-, 12th-, 25th- and 37th-ranked teams in the nation en route to the program's seventh doubles championship.
This is the first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week award for each of them this season and in their career.
