Kalamazoo College's Sarah Woods was named MIAA Women's Tennis Player of the Week on Tuesday.

A senior from Oconomowoc, Wis., Woods finished a prolific career at Kalamazoo with a 3-0 week in singles play to improve to 8-0 this season and end her career at 30-0 all-time in MIAA action for the discipline. Woods dominated in a trio of singles victories in straight sets, never giving up more than two games in a stanza. The No. 19 player in the country knocked off top players from Saint Mary's (6-2, 6-1) and Albion (6-1, 6-1). Woods also defeated No. 33 Nancy Benda of Hope 6-1, 6-2.

In doubles play, Woods teamed up with Sabrina Dass at the No. 1 spot. The duo won two of three matches on the week. The Hornets beat Saint Mary's 8-2 and toppled Albion 8-1. The tandem also dropped a tight match in extra games to Hope, 9-7.

The award marks Woods' second weekly honor this season after collecting accolades on March 7.

Kalamazoo returns to action Thursday, May 5 with a 1 p.m. MIAA Tournament Semifinal match against Calvin at Stowe Stadium.
