2016 All-GLVC Women's Tennis Team

Romeoville, Ill. - The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced that Lewis University redshirt sophomore Dora Andrejszki (Budapest, Hungary/Dozsa Gyorgy) has been selected as the GLVC Women's Tennis Player of the Year in a league wide vote of GLVC Coaches announced at the GLVC Women's Tennis Championship Tournament Awards Reception on Thursday (April 28).

Andrejszki is the third Flyer to be named the GLVC Player of the Year, joining Yuliya Kuznets (2003, '04) and Zsofia Lanstiak (2012, '13, '14). She is joined on the All-GLVC Team by teammates Nora Mindiyarova (Moscow, Russia/Gimnasium 1577) and Megan Nguyen (Germantown Hills, Ill./Metamora).

"It is great that Dora, Nora and Megan have been recognized by the GLVC Coaches," Lewis head women's tennis coach Brett Bridel said. "Dora is an extremely hard worker and very team oriented; Nora is a super-skilled player and hopefully this award will motivate her and Megan has come a long way (from when she was a freshman) and is someone we truly rely upon."

Andrejszki - who is ranked 37th in the nation -  is 21-6 in singles play in 2015-16 and owns a mark of 16-3 in dual matches, including an unblemished 6-0 in GLVC action. She has won her last 14 singles matches.

The Budapest, Hungary native and Mindiyarova, who are sixth in the country and first in the region, have gone 28-2 in doubles play this season. That includes a third-place finish at the USTA/iTA National Small College Doubles Championships. They are 18-0 in dual matches and have won their last 19 matches as a tandem.

Mindiyarova, who is ranked sixth in the region in singles play, earns All-GLVC accolades for the second consecutive season. The Moscow, Russia native is currently 20-9 in singles action and has won her last eight matches. The Russian sophomore is 16-3 in dual matches - primarily at No. 2 singles - and was undefeated in GLVC play.

Nguyen, a senior, takes home All-GLVC honors for the third-straight year. The Germantown, Ill., native - who has won her last 12 singles matches - has amassed a career-high 24 singles wins in her final season. Nguyen is 17-2 in dual matches - primarily at No. 3 singles - and is ranked No. 8 regionally.

She and classmate Jill Wetmore (Ottawa, Ill./Ottawa) have also dominated at No. 2 singles, collecting a record of 19-4 and enter this weekend's GLVC Championship Tournament on an eight-match win streak. Nguyen and Wetmore are currently ranked ninth in the region.

Andrejszki has also been recognized as one of 16 GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship honorees. The student-athletes chosen are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. The honorees are now eligible to become one of their school's two Spalding Sportsmanship winners, which will be announced in May.

Lewis opens 2016 GLVC Championship Tournament action on Friday (April 29) in a quarterfinal match-up against Maryville. First serve is set for 12 PM at Lewis' Jack Oremus Tennis Complex.
