LATHAM, N.Y. - For the third straight time, Penn State Harrisburg's Allison Wootton has been named the United East Volt Division Women's Tennis Player of the Week. 

 

Wootton helped lead the Lions (1-4) to their first win of the season after securing a pair of victories in a 5-4 triumph at York (Pa.) on Sunday afternoon. The freshman continued the strong start to her collegiate career by teaming with Breanna DeSantis for an 8-6 come-from-behind victory in the No 1 doubles matchup before cruising to a 6-2, 6-1 win in the top singles contest. The Portage, Mich. native improved to 5-0 in solo action and 4-1 in doubles play this season. 

 

Penn State Harrisburg is set to wrap up the fall portion of its schedule when the team travels to Susquehanna for another non-conference tilt on Saturday afternoon.
