KANSAS CITY, Missouri – The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association/Great American Conference has selected Ouachita's Aaron Osmond as its men's tennis athlete of the week for the south division.

Osmond was the only Tiger go to 4-0 combined this past Saturday at home in wins over Nebraska-Kearney and JUCO's fourth-ranked team Seward County CC.

In a 4-3 win over UNK, Osmond and teammate Yarin Aebi defeated Alex Jaulin and Ivan Melnik at No. 2 doubles by a score of 6-3. He then followed that with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Tom van den Dungen at No. 4 singles.

Later in the day in a 4-0 win over Seward, Osmond and Aebi defeated the 10th-ranked doubles duo at the JUCO level, Ognjen Gajic and Pavle Markus, by a score of 6-2. In singles, Osmond beat Markus at No. 4 by scores of 6-4 and 6-4.

This is Osmond's first career conference athlete of the week honor. So far this spring, the junior from Gunnedah, Australia is unbeaten in singles at 5-0 combined between the No. 4 and No. 5 spots. In doubles this spring, Osmond is a combined 6-1 with two different teammates.

Osmond and the Tigers are back in action this Friday, March 7 on the road against 33rd-ranked Mississippi College. The Tigers made the top 50 this week at No. 38.
