Virginia women’s tennis sophomore Emma Navarro (Charleston, S.C.) has been named the ACC Player of the Week.

Navarro picked up two top-20 wins in singles, both in straight sets, including scoring UVA’s lone point in the match at North Carolina with a 6-3, 6-3 victory against No. 7 Cameron Morra. She also downed No. 19 Georgia Drummy of Duke, 6-2, 6-4. Navarro was 2-0 in doubles, starting the weekend with a dominant 6-0 victory on the top court against Duke, playing with Hibah Shaikh.

This is her second ACC Player of the Week honor of this season. She was named the ACC Player of the Week three times last year.
