The SEC announced on Wednesday that Texas women’s tennis standout Anastasia Abbagnato has been named the conference’s Women’s Tennis Freshman of the Week, Texas Athletics recently reported.
From Texas Athletics: “Abbagnato posted a combined 5-1 singles and doubles record, including four ranked victories with three in singles and one in doubles. Her play helped lead Texas to two top-12 team wins over No. 12 Vanderbilt (4-1) and No. Duke (4-3) after a narrow 4-3 defeat to No. 6 Oklahoma at the ITA National Indoor Championships. Abbagnato’s singles wins all came at No. 2 over No. 12 Julia Garcia Ruiz of Oklahoma (6-4, 6-2), No. 40 Bridget Stammel of Vanderbilt (3-6, 7-5, 7-6 [4]), and No. 120 Liv Hovde of Duke (6-3, 6-7 [5], 6-3). The win over Stammel also clinched the overall match against Vanderbilt, while her victory over Hovde provided the Longhorns with their first lead against Duke at 3-2 after the Blue Devils had led, 2-0.”
