Hauger Named Pac-12 Player of the Week
Olivia Hauger claimed her first Pac-12 Player of the Week honor on Tuesday, as the conference lauded the Cal junior for her play in the Bears' 7-0 win over Sacramento State and 5-2 upset of then-No. 26 Oregon.
Against the Hornets on April 5, the 48th-ranked pair of Hauger and Julia Rosenqvist clinched the doubles point with a 6-2 victory over Maria Fernanda Gonzalez and Carolina Chernyetsky on court one. In singles, the 44th-ranked Hauger defeated Gonzalez, 6-2, 6-2, on court two.
Two days later against the Ducks, Hauger and Rosenqvist topped Shweta Sangwan and Julia Eshet, 6-1, at court-one doubles. Hauger then knocked off Julia Lilien, 7-5, 6-0, at court-three singles.
This marks the first Pac-12 Player of the Week honor for Hauger, who is 22-6 in singles and 23-6 in doubles this season. It's the Bears' second weekly honor this year, including Julia Rosenqvist's award on March 13. Cal leads the Pac-12 with 41 all-time weekly awards.
