COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- TCU junior Idunn Hertzberg earned her first career Mountain West Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week award Wednesday.
Hertzberg, a product of Oslo, Norway, posted a perfect 4-0 record on the road last weekend as the Horned Frogs registered a 1-1 mark in season-opening matches versus No. 21 Vanderbilt and No. 30 Texas. She battled through a pair of three-set matches in singles play at the No. 4 spot, including a tiebreaker in the 4-3 victory over Texas. The junior defeated Vanderbilt's Keilly Ulery (3-6, 6-3, 6-3), before emerging victorious over the Longhorns' Amanda Craddock (3-6, 7-6 [4], 6-1).
In doubles, Hertzberg teamed up with sophomore Gaby Mastromarino at the No. 3 position to garner two wins, both of which set the stage for No. 27 TCU to later clinch the doubles point from the top court. The duo overcame the Commodores' Catherine Newman/Rachael Dillon (8-4), and Texas' Sarah Lancaster/Caroline Larsson (8-6).
TCU will return home to conclude the 2009-10 regular dual meet season with a MWC showdown with No. 22 UNLV on Feb. 6. TCU will honor the 2009-10 senior class 10 minutes before the first event, which is set to begin at 4 p.m.
TCU will return to open the home schedule on Feb. 5, hosting Stanford at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center. First serve is set for Noon and admission is free.
