The awards are based on performance for the week of Feb. 5-11.
Sophomore Karolina Mrowiecova and first-year Ram William Crowe were named the SSAC Tennis Players of the Week after Mobile grabbed two victories across the state of Mississippi on Feb. 9, with both teams defeating Mississippi University for Women and Belhaven University (Miss.).
