STATESBORO - Georgia Southern junior Stefano Di Aloy has been named the Sun Belt Conference's Men's Tennis Player of the Week, announced today by league officials.
Di Aloy went 2-0 in singles and doubles in a pair of wins for the Eagles as Georgia Southern improved to 5-1 on the young season. The Buenos Aires, Argentina, native won both of his singles matches at No. 1 in straight sets, defeating Yili Zheng of UConn, 6-3, 6-0, as well as Nicolas Arduh of NC A&T, 6-4, 6-1.
He then teamed with Martijn Kerssens to pick up a pair of doubles wins over UConn and NC A&T as Georgia Southern continued its hot start to the 2019 season at 5-1. Di Aloy is unbeaten so far in 2019, with a 3-0 singles and doubles record.
This is the second Sun Belt Player of the Week honor for Di Aloy, as he earned the award on April 5, 2017, during his freshman season. That is also the last time a Georgia Southern men's tennis player earned the league's weekly award.
Georgia Southern returns to the court on Saturday, February 16, traveling to Wilmington, N.C., for a neutral-site match against Elon at 11 a.m. at UNC Wilmington.
