ST. PAUL, Minn. – Macalester College first year Alec Sargent (Rochester, Minn./Rochester Century) was selected the MIAC Athlete of the Week for men's tennis, the league announced today. Sargent won both of his singles and doubles matches to help the Scots defeat Bethel, 8-1 on Wednesday.

At No. 1 doubles, Sargent combined with junior Matthew Sullivan (Tacoma, Wash./Weil) to edge Bethel's Erik Beckers and Jason Reilly, 8-7. He then outlasted Beckers at No. 1 singles, 6-3, 3-6, 1-0. The win gives Macalester a 4-1 record in MIAC play and keeps the Scots in the top four of the conference standings.

Sargent has made an impact in his first season as a Scot, posting a 6-6 record at No. 1 singles and a 3-1 mark at No. 1 doubles playing with Sullivan. He is now 4-1 in MIAC singles play.

Sargent and the Scots (8-5) resume their conference schedule with a home MIAC dual against Hamline on Thursday, April 21 at Hayden Tennis Courts.
