Freshman Sophie Trantham has been selected as the USA South Conference Women’s Tennis Rookie of the Week after an impressive individual week for the Matthews, North Carolina native.
Trantham earned a 2-0 singles record at the number-five position and a 1-1 doubles mark at the top position for the Tornados in last week’s action. In singles, Trantham earned wins over opponents from Meredith and Covenant while her doubles win was aided by junior Hamrick Perry.
Overall, Trantham leads the Tornados with a 14-3 overall record in singles matches in the 2021-22 campaign, with 11 wins coming in the number-five slot for Brevard. The first-year student also has six doubles victories, all coming in the number-one spot with teammate Perry.
Trantham and the BC tennis teams prepare for their first USA South matches at home on Saturday against LaGrange, scheduled for a 12 p.m. start time.
