Bloomington, Minn. – Gustavus Adolphus senior Brad Entwistle (Sioux Falls, S.D.) has been named the MIAC Men’s Tennis Athlete-of-the-Week for his efforts in Gustavus’s three MIAC victories last week.

Thanks to its 3-0 showing over the course of the week, No. 16 Gustavus clinched its 27th straight MIAC Championship and finished the regular season with an overall record of 17-10.

Handling the duties at No. 4 singles and playing alongside Mohanad Al-Houni (Fr., Tripoli, Libya) at No. 2 doubles, Entwistle was a perfect 3-0 on both fronts.
