INDIANAPOLIS – Freshman Matt Smith is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week. Smith was perfect in four matches last week, helping UIndy notch a win in non-conference action over Saint Joseph's.

Against Bellarmine on Sunday, Smith moved to No. 4 singles and topped the Knights' Paul Clark in three sets, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1. He and Greenlee also recorded a win at No. 1 doubles against Bellarmine's Nic Janssen-Bernard and Nathan Matthews, 8-5.

On the week, Smith was 2-0 in singles play and 2-0 in doubles. He was 1-0 at No. 3 singles, 1-0 at No. 4 singles and 2-0 at No. 1 doubles. The wins pushed Smith's singles record to 11-6 this year and he and Greenlee have recorded a 14-5 doubles mark at No. 1 this season.
