Week 1 - September 12, 2023
NE10 Player of the Week
Katarina Liedbeck, Adelphi
Sophomore | Båstad, Sweden
Subbing in for the sidelined Sanne Selmer Gilje in the season opener, Liedbeck rallied to break serve twice at No. 1 doubles, in a 6-4 come-from-behind victory against Jefferson. She also won the opening set of her singles match 6-3, before her opponent retired. She finished a combined 6-0 between singles (No. 1 and 2) and doubles (No. 1) competition on the week -- which saw three matches in four days.
NE10 Rookie of the Week
Roisin Boyd, Adelphi
Freshman | Leicester, United Kingdom
In the team's first 3-0 start since 2019, Boyd played a crucial role, especially in Thursday's season-opening 4-3 thriller over Jefferson. Trailing 4-2 at #1 doubles, Boyd -- in her first collegiate action -- helped generate two breaks towards earning a 6-4 victory that clinched the doubles point, and followed that up with a 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 decision over reigning CACC First Team All-Conference player Noelle Frenzel at #2 singles. She proceeded to lose only two more games in singles in conference matches against Franklin Pierce and Saint Michael's. Overall, she went 6-0 this past week.
