TRAFFORD, Pa. – Washington & Jefferson College freshman Maya Hamade (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper Saint Clair) has been awarded the Presidents' Athletic Conference Women's Tennis Newcomer of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday (Sept. 29).

Hamade finished the week undefeated in both singles and doubles play, aiding in the Presidents' 2-0 week. Hamade won her No. 4 singles match against Thiel (6-0, 6-0) to start the week and also won 6-0 at No. 2 doubles with freshman teammate Bella Graham (Altoona, Pa./Altoona Area) against the Tomcats. In a 5-2 victory over Geneva, Hamade won at No. 4 singles (6-1, 6-2) and at No. 2 doubles (7-5). She is still undefeated in singles play at the No. 4 position with a 7-0 record on the season.

The Presidents look to keep this momentum going when they return to the Janet Swanson Tennis Center on Tuesday (Sept. 30) to battle the Division II West Liberty Hilltoppers. Doubles matches will begin at 4:00 p.m. with singles matches to follow.
