BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – For the second time this season, Bridgewater State University freshman Alison Vautrin has been named the Little East Conference (LEC) Women’s Tennis Rookie of the Week.

A native of Somerset, Massachusetts, Vautrin helped the Bears post a pair of 9-0 wins over Little East Conference rivals Rhode Island College and UMass Boston last week as she went 2-0 at fourth flight singles and 2-0 at third doubles.

Vautrin won both of her singles matches in straight sets as she notched a 6-3, 6-3 win over her opponent from RIC and a 6-1, 6-0 decision over her opponent from UMass.  She also teamed with sophomore Rachael Eramo for an 8-4 third flight doubles win against the Anchorwomen and an 8-0 victory over the Beacons.

Vautrin has burst onto the Little East women’s tennis scene in 2012 as she is currently 7-1 (4-0 LEC) in singles play and 9-2 (4-0 LEC) in doubles competition.

The BSU women’s tennis team (6-2, 4-0 LEC) will host conference foe UMass Dartmouth (8-0, 5-0 LEC) on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 from the Rosen Memorial Tennis Courts.  The Bears trail the Corsairs by a half game in the Little East standings.
