BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Ole Miss women’s tennis senior Nika Koukhartchouk has been named the SEC Player of the Week as announced by the conference office Tuesday. 

The Kaliningrad, Russia native, went 4-0 in singles and doubles last weekend to lead the Lady Rebels (3-2) to wins against Southern University and Troy.  In the match against Troy, she rallied to knock off 65^th-ranked Annabelle Bares in three sets at No. 1 singles.

Playing the No. 1 position for the first time in her career, Koukhartchouk is a combined 8-2 in doubles and singles.  She has teamed with freshman Karen Nijssen for a 4-1 record at No.1 doubles. 

Koukhartchouk and the Lady Rebels will look to continue their winning ways this Sunday as they host Louisville at 1 p.m. at the Gillom Sports Center.  Admission to all home matches is free.
