San Antonio - Trinity Tigers senior Charlie Curtis has been selected as the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week.

Curtis propelled the Tigers to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division III Men's Indoor Championship last weekend at St. Peter, Minnesota. With tenacious performances, Curtis clinched the winning points in all three matches over the three-day event.  On Sunday, he won No. 5 singles to hand Emory University a 5-4 defeat in the championship matchup. Curtis also clinched the semifinals win over Johns Hopkins University, and the nod over the host Gustavus Adolphus College in the quarterfinals. Trinity won both matches by a score of 6-3.

It marked Trinity's first ITA Indoor Team Championship, although the Tigers have captured 11 men's and women's singles and doubles titles.

Curtis defeated his Emory and Gustavus Adolphus opponents in straight sets, and edged the Johns Hopkins player in a three-set battle.

This season, Curtis stands at 6-2 in singles, and is sporting a perfect 5-0 mark on the No. 5 line. He is 4-4 in doubles competition, with two partners.

Trinity (7-2), ranked No. 3 by the ITA, will host Tyler Junior College on March 6 at the Butch Newman Tennis Center. Tyler JC is ranked third in the National Junior College Athletic Association.
