Full SEC Release
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- After serving as the 'clinch master' for the Rebels this past weekend, Ole Miss Men's Tennis senior Fabian Fallert has been named the SEC Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office Wednesday afternoon.
Fallert earns the plaudit after providing the spark in the Rebels' first ranked win of the season, taking down No. 20 Oklahoma State last Friday in Stillwater. First, he and partner Cotter Wilson teamed up in doubles for the deciding point. The pair is a perfect 3-0 this spring.
Next came singles action, with the two teams knotted at 3-3 and all eyes on Fallert once again. After triumphing through a tight six extra points in the opening set tiebreak (13-11), the senior powered through the second set to win 6-2 and clinch the victory for the Rebs.
The win for Fallert was his third consecutive, as he holds steady at the No. 3 singles position.
The award is the first weekly honor of his career.
UP NEXT
Ole Miss returns to Oxford Saturday, hosting the Braves of Alcorn State in a doubleheader beginning at noon. Free pizza will be provided to the first 100 fans.
