| Feb. 18, 2004 Kirchner named Southland Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week Kirchner helped UTSA improve to 4-1 on the season with a 4-2 win over Midwestern State last Thursday and a 4-3 decision against Saint Louis on Sunday. Kirchner defeated Midwestern State's David Barrett, 6-2, 6-0, at No. 4 singles and dropped Saint Louis' Taylor Curran, 6-1, 6-0 at No. 5. He combined with junior Ricardo Almeida to win at No. 2 doubles over Thomas Kwong and Tom de Larzac of Saint Louis, 8-2. There were no doubles matches in the Midwestern State match due to cold weather. Kirchner is now 3-1 in singles and 3-0 with Almeida in doubles this spring. This marks the second consecutive week a Roadrunner has earned the SLC's weekly honor as Almeida was named Men's Tennis Player of the Week on Feb. 11. UTSA will play three matches over three days beginning with a Thursday meeting at No. 75 Pacific in Stockton, Calif. The Roadrunners also play at Sacramento State on Friday and at San Francisco on Saturday.
