Fresno State junior Tinesta Rowe has been named the Toyota/gobulldogs.com
Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 22. Rowe is the first member of the
women's tennis team to win the honor this season.
Rowe, along with teammate Melanie Gloria, won the prestigious Northwest
Regional Championships doubles title on Oct. 22. Rowe and Gloria were
fabulous during the four-day tournament, winning five matches including an
8-6 win in the title match. Rowe and Gloria have won eight straight matches
and are currently ranked No. 11 in the country.
Rowe also had an outstanding tournament in singles play. She beat No. 9
Celia Durkin of Stanford in three sets during the round of 32 before
eventually advancing to the quarterfinals. In a region packed with
nationally-ranked players from Cal and Stanford, Rowe's feat was all the
more impressive.
Other student-athletes nominated were: Andrea Alires (soccer), Tairyn
Rasmussen (volleyball), Tejesvi Veerepalli (men's tennis), and Kyle
Zimmerman (football).
