Two GW athletes were recognized this week for their performances over the weekend in Atlantic 10 conference play. Sophomore Jacqueline Corba was named Atlantic 10 Tennis Performer of the Week today for her strong showing in the Colonials’ loss to Long Beach State on Sunday. Corba got the only GW singles win against the 49ers, defeating Long Beach State’s Deborah Armstrong in the number one singles match. Corba also won her number one doubles match paired with Nadia Demidenko, but GW would drop the other two doubles matches and lose the lone doubles point to Long Beach State.

Freshman swimmer Alex Etz was named Atlantic 10 Men’s Rookie Swimmer of the Week for the third time this season after winning the 200-yard backstroke in GW’s meet Sunday at George Mason. Etz also swam the third leg of the Colonials’ victorious 400-yard medley relay team. Etz also swam the third leg in his team’s 400-yard freestyle, which finished second.

The women’s tennis team will be in action next saturday on the road against the University of Pennsylvania. Men’s swimming will be off until Feb. 17-20 when they will compete in the Atlantic 10 championships, hosted by St. Bonaventure University in Buffalo, N.Y.
