Matthew Heinrich (Hendersonville, N.J.) has been named the Empire 8 Conference Athlete of the Week. Heinrich was the only Duck to win both his doubles and singles matches this weekend.

The men’s tennis squad has started the spring 3-5, with all five losses coming in tight contest versus Top 25 teams.
