She was one of three Golden Grizzlies who went undefeated in singles play, alongside last week&#8217;s Singles Player of the Week, freshman <a href=\"https:\/\/goldengrizzlies.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/oliwia-klimas\/12440\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"12440\" target=\"_blank\">Oliwia Klimas<\/a>, and junior <a href=\"https:\/\/goldengrizzlies.com\/sports\/womens-tennis\/roster\/edie-hammond\/12435\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"12435\" target=\"_blank\">Edie Hammond<\/a>. Notably, Piechowicz was the only one among them to go undefeated in doubles play as well.<\/p>\n<p>In her first match against the Flyers, Piechowicz faced Dayton&#8217;s Baby Jordan. After winning the first set 6-4, Piechowicz lost the second set 4-6. With the match on the line in the final set, Piechowicz regained control and sealed the match with a 6-2 victory, contributing to the team&#8217;s 5-2 win over Dayton.<\/p>\n<p>Against the RedHawks, Piechowicz\u00a0faced Allie Faulkner, and Piechowicz once again took the first match, winning 6-4. In a tightly contested second set that went to extra points, Piechowicz dropped the set 6(4)-7. Despite the setback, Piechowicz remained focused and secured the final set, 6-3. Although she earned a crucial point for the Golden Grizzlies, Miami (OH) won the overall match, 4-3.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 Horizon League Individual Singles Champion continues to impress this season, and this #HLTEN honor highlights her performances.
