BREVARD, N.C. – On the heels of an impressive outing on February 2 against NCAA DII Southern Wesleyan, Brevard College Senior Tom Mittring has been named the first USA South Men's Tennis Player of the Week for the 2019 season.
Mittring, who defeated SWU's Sarvesh Maria in straight-sets (6-4, 6-4), currently holds a 12-match singles winning streak dating back to the 2017-18 season.
The Bavaria, Germany native becomes Brevard College's first-ever USA South Player of the Week recipient in the sport of Tennis after being ineligible for weekly awards in 2018 due to NCAA Division III reclassification.
Mittring sits atop the USA South's number-one singles performers list with a 2-0 record through the 2018-19 campaign.
Mittring and the rest of the 2019 BC Tornados Men's Tennis team return to action this Saturday, February 23 as they head to Demorest, Ga. to take on Piedmont College, with action slated to begin at 1 p.m.
