Student-Athlete of the Week
Oct. 20, 2008
Nory Hayes is a junior co-captain of the Emmanuel Women's Tennis Team. She has helped to lead the Saints to an 8-5 overall record this fall and a 4-3 mark in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) matches. The Newport, RI native plays 2nd singles and 1st doubles for the Saints. After a two-week hiatus late in the season, Hayes returned to practice and competition on October 13th. Since then, she has gone undefeated in both singles and doubles matches. Hayes won both of her singles matches this week in straight sets, defeating her Saint Joseph College opponent, 6-4, 6-3, and her Wentworth opponent, 6-0, 6-1. She teamed up with Megan Harrington for two wins in doubles action this week as well.
The Saints, who completed regular season play last Saturday, have earned the 4th seed in the upcoming GNAC post-season tournament. Emmanuel will host the 5th-seeded Lions of Emerson College on Wednesday afternoon (10/22). The match will begin at 4:15pm at the Winsor School tennis courts.
