PLANO - Freshman Sandra Kukla (right) was named to the 2006 Southland Conference first team in women’s tennis, announced by the league’s office Wednesday afternoon.
Joining Kukla was Lamar’s Andrea Martinez, who was named SLC Player of the Year. Kukla went through the conference schedule untouched at No. 2 singles at 10-0 and finished her rookie season with a 15-1 overall mark. Texas-Arlington’s junior Monika Peciulionyte was 8-0 at No. 4 singles. Both earned all-conference honors at their respective positions. Peciulionyte becomes a two-time All-SLC first teamer as she was an automatic qualifier a year ago at the No. 3 singles spot with a 6-0 record.
The UTSA women’s tennis team gear up for the 2006 SLC Women’s Tennis Tournament this weekend April 28-30 in Arlington, Texas at the UTA Tennis Center.
