Sophomore Alex Pozo was named the MVC Men’s Tennis Player of the Week Tuesday.

Pozo went undefeated in singles and doubles against Troy last Tuesday, improving to 14-5 in singles and 9-4 in doubles with partner junior Wilder Pimental on the season.

The St. Louis native has won six-straight singles matches and was the only Saluki to win a singles and doubles match during the team’s 4-3 to the Trojans, which broke SIU’s eight-match win streak.
