The University of Houston tennis team received another honor this week as sophomore Joanna Kacprzyk was selected Third Team All-Conference USA after a standout campaign in which she helped lead the Cougars to an 18-4 record.
The honor is the second time that the sophomore has been recognized by C-USA this spring as she was named the league's Player of the Week on March 24.
The Warsaw, Poland, native put together a 14-6 record in singles play this season which saw her play a majority of her matches at the top of the Cougar line-up. Her accomplishments in singles included a perfect 4-0 mark at the No. 2 singles and a 4-2 record at the top spot in the UH singles line-up.
In addition to her abilities as a singles player, Kacprzky joined with teammate Lynley Wasson to form the Cougars' most consistent doubles tandem this season. Playing many of their matches at the top doubles position, the duo posted a 13-6 record, including a 6-3 mark at No. 1 and a 5-1 record at the No. 2 position.
