Tusculum College sophomore Lukas Winkelmann was honored by the South Atlantic Conference as the Player of the Week in men's tennis Monday afternoon.

Playing out of the number-one position in the lineup in both singles and doubles, Winkelmann won all three of his singles matches in straight sets and teamed with Nicolas Planchard for three doubles wins as the Pioneers went undefeated at the Spring Break Bash in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

During the week, Winkelmann defeated Gustavo Echeverria of Georgetown (Ky.) by a 6-3, 6-1 score, downed Matthew Sherba of Charleston 6-1, 6-2 and posted a 6-0, 6-1 win over Will Golinkin of Dickinson.

In doubles play, Winkelmann and Planchard teamed up to win 24 of their 26 games during their three victories. The duo defeated Georgetown's Ryne Leas and Jacob Loveland 8-1, shut out Charleston's Samual Humphrey and Dennis Okoth 8-0, and claimed an 8-1 victory over Dickinson's Golinkin and Chris Mueller-Wolf.

Winkelmann, the reigning SAC Freshman of the Year, is 8-1 in singles play and 6-3 in doubles contests so far this season.

The Pioneers (6-4 overall, 0-1 SAC) are on the road for two conference matches this weekend, beginning Friday at Wingate and continuing Saturday at Catawba.
