Arnold claims GPAC Player of the Week after trio of singles wins

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Morningside University's Mathys Arnold on Wednesday was named the Great Plains Athletic Conference men's tennis Player of the Week.

Arnold won all three of his singles matches last week in Hilton Head, South Carolina. He won his first two meetings in straight sets, but in his third match, Arnold had to come back against Lake Superior State's Maxence Hamon.

Arnold dropped the first set 6-4 but shifted the momentum, claiming the second set 6-4 before edging out a marathon tiebreaker 12-10.

The freshman from Charmey, Switzerland, has won 12 consecutive singles matches, and hasn't lost since September. He's 17-2 this season.

Arnold was 3-1 in doubles play last week.
