ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum senior Lukas Winkelmann has been named the South Atlantic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, announced today by the league office. It is his first SAC weekly honor this season, and the third in his career.

Winkelmann was a perfect 4-0 in the top singles and doubles flights last week to help keep the Pioneers undefeated this season with a 9-0 record. Winkelmann, ranked 12th in the latest ITA national singles rankings, began his week with an easy 6-1, 6-3 victory over Jody Sambrick Jr of Millersville.

The Bobligen, Germany native only dropped one game to John Paul Jones of Bloomsburg (6-1, 6-0), before closing out the Pioneers' Hilton Head, S.C., swing with another easy victory over Ian Hinkamper of Quincy (6-2, 6-4). He finished the week with his second SAC win of the season, a hard fought 7-6, 7-5 triumph of Lenoir-Rhyne's Marvin Mueller. Winkelmann is currently riding a 41-match regular-season singles winning streak dating back to the 2012-13 season.

On the doubles side, Winkelmann teamed with his brother Jonas in the top doubles flight and picked up four victories. The duo took down the top doubles pairings from Millersville, Quincy, and Bloomsburg in Hilton Head by 8-4 scores in all three matches. Against Lenoir-Rhyne's Patrick Bauer and Mueller, they earned a hard-fought 9-8 victory.

Winkelmann and the rest of the Pioneers will be back in action on Friday afternoon when they travel to face SAC rival Wingate. First serve against the Bulldogs is set for 2 p.m.
