INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. \u2013 The league announced on Wednesday that freshman Oliwia Klimas<\/a> has been named the #HLTEN Singles Player of the Week, following her impressive undefeated performance during Oakland’s in-state trip over<\/p>\n Klimas earned the honor for the week of January 28 to February 3 after securing two victories over the weekend against Northwood and Eastern Michigan as the No. 3 player. She led the Golden Grizzlies in singles matches, contributing to the team’s first victory of the season against the Timberwolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n In her match against Northwood, Klimas battled in a tight first set but secured the win, 7-6(5), in a tiebreaker.
