SMU’s Marta Lesniak took a trip to New York this weekend and came home with the gold.
The native Polish player, ranked No. 10, won the USTA/ITA National Indoor Collegiate Championship with a 7-5, 6-1 victory against No. 26 Joanna Mather of Florida in the Sunday final at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Lesniak blazed through the tournament winning five matches in four days, setting her up for the title. The Mustang stomped out four opponents ranked No. 26 or higher, including two ranked in the top five.
Lesniak is now 17-3 on the season and 102-18 (.850) for her career.
Lesniak’s outstanding performance this weekend places in her third in the SMU books for career wins and second in the career winning percentage.
