ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum junior Kealee Heffner has been selected as the South Atlantic Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week, announced today by the league office. It is her first career SAC weekly honor.

Heffner was a perfect 4-0 in the top singles flight for TC last week, and helped the 36th-ranked Pioneers improve to 10-0 this season. Heffner, a native of Cumming, Ga., started her week off with a hard fought three-set victory over IUP's Tanya Tinko (3-6, 6-2, 10-7), helping the Pioneers hand the Crimson Hawks their first loss of the season.

Heffner also didn't drop a game in a victory over Bloomsburg's Aida Diop (6-0, 6-0) and also defeated a solid foe in Quincy's number one, Amy Kuhle, in three sets (6-2, 6-7, 11-9). She wrapped up the week with her second SAC victory of the season, besting Lenoir-Rhyne's Zorica Djuric 4-6, 7-5, 10-4. Heffner is a perfect 10-0 in singles play this season.

Heffner teamed with doubles partner Kate Hutchinson and won two matches in the top flight. They easily topped Bloomsburg's Diop and Rin Rietenauer 8-1, and had little trouble with the Lenoir-Rhyne duo of Dominique Bruce and Lucy Stofberg (8-2). Hutchinson and Heffner are 7-3 in the top doubles position this season.

Heffner 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.
