GREENSBORO, N.C. – North Carolina's Kacie Harvey and Virginia's Natasha Subhash have been named Co-Freshmen of the Week, while NC State's Alana Smith has been named the ACC Women's Tennis Player of the Week.
A rookie from Braintree, Massachusetts, Harvey had a strong weekend for North Carolina. She picked up three singles wins and a doubles win at the Freeman Memorial Championship in Las Vegas, highlighted by a two-set victory over No. 16-ranked Lisa Marie Rioux of Oklahoma State.
Harvey has compiled a 9-2 singles record thus far in her first season in Chapel Hill.
Subhash shined in a shutout of Towson. A rookie from Fairfax, Virginia, Subhash blanked Alexa Martinez, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 1 singles, and paired with teammate Sofia Munera at No. 2 doubles for a 6-1 win over Martinez and Amelia Lawson.
Playing primarily at the No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles positions, Smith helped the Wolfpack go undefeated on the weekend, highlighted by a 6-1 win over No. 9 South Carolina, the program's first-ever top-10 win. A sophomore from Fort Washington, Maryland, Smith won all eight of her matches, including a win over No. 27-ranked Mia Horvit of South Carolina, and she paired up with teammate Anna Rogers to take down the 23rd-ranked duo of Julia Adams and Madison Dillon of Furman.
No. 2 North Carolina hosts the ITA Kick-Off Weekend this Friday and Saturday inside Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. ODU and Columbia open the festivities Friday at 10 a.m., before Carolina hosts Auburn at 1 p.m.
