ATLANTA - Piedmont women's tennis senior Alyssa McSpadden has been chosen as the Collegiate Conference of the South Player of the Week, released by the league office Tuesday afternoon.

In the team's spring season and home opener on Saturday, Feb. 8, she dispatched Truett McConnell's number one singles player, she did not drop a game (6-0, 6-0) in a 7-0 Piedmont victory.

Then, as the Lions traveled to North Carolina this past weekend, she took down Methodist's Emma Hulicki 6-2, 6-2 as Piedmont rallied from down 1-0 after doubles to prevail 5-2 on the road.

Later that same Saturday, McSpadden rolled to a 6-1, 6-0 win at Meredith.

In total, the senior from Flowery Branch, Georgia dropped just five total games in singles over the three matches.

Additionally, she picked up a win at No. 1 doubles with Bri Laidman, 6-4, over Truett McConnell.
