February 04, 2020 | Women's Tennis
SAN FRANCISCO โ Sophomore Elysia Bolton of the UCLA women's tennis team was named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 27-Feb. 2, the conference announced Tuesday.
Bolton turned in her finest win of the young season on Saturday, when she beat 15th-ranked Mariia Kozyreva of Saint Mary's by a 6-4, 6-3 score on the top court. The next day, No. 14 Bolton faced an early 1-5 deficit against Elizaveta Volodko of UC Santa Barbara on Court 2 before charging back to take the set and, ultimately, the match.
Sunday's 7-5, 6-1 victory capped a 4-0 weekend for the sophomore, who also won a pair of top-court doubles matches with partner Jada Hart. The second-ranked duo took down Kozyreva/Danielle McIntyre of Saint Mary's, 6-1, and Volodko/Amit Lev Ari of UC Santa Barbara, 6-2. The Bruins improved to 4-0 with a pair of 7-0 wins.
The award marks the second such of Bolton's career and 26th all time for the UCLA women's tennis program.
ALSO NOMINATED: Antonia Balzert, COLO; Eryn Cayetano, USC; Vanessa Wong, WASH; Pang Jittakoat, WSU.
