MAAC Men's Player of the Week

MATT HIMMELSBACH, MARIST

Sr., 6-1, Longmeadow, Mass./Longmeadow

Himmelsbach has been Marist's top performer so far this spring as they have gone up against some of the top competition in the region.  He opened the spring season at the Harvard Invite, going against three of the Crimson's top singles players and playing them all tough.  Playing at the second singles position in dual matches at NJIT and Ivy League powerhouse Columbia, he defeated his Highlanders' opponent 6-3, 6-4 before forcing his opponent from Columbia to three sets before falling 6-7, 7-6, 1-6.  Himmelsbach has also played at both the first and second doubles positions this spring, winning two matches.  He defeated a pair from Harvard 8-2 and also salvaged the Red Foxes' lone win against Columbia 9-8 (10-5).
