BURNSVILLE, Minn. -- For the fourth time this season, Augustana women's tennis student-athlete Kornelia Staniszewska, a senior from Opalenie, Poland, has been named the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Athlete of the Week.

It's the 13th time Staniszewska has earned Athlete of the Week honors and fifth of the season for the Vikings.

The Opalenie, Poland native finished the week in Kansas 2-0 in both No. 1 Singles and No. 1 Doubles action. She extended her regular-season win streak to 32 matches with wins over Jacqueli Engelbrecht (Washburn)  6-2, 6-3 and Camila Ramos 6-1, 6-0 (Emporia State). The senior is ranked No. 26 in singles play in Division II.

In doubles play, Staniszewska teamed up with Laura Arce Vieyra to pick up two wins over the weekend. The two remained undefeated with wins over the No. 6 duo's Logan Morrissey and Alexis Czapinski 7-6 (7-5) (Washburn) and a 6-1 win over Jessica Purdy and Cyrielle Peyroche (ESU).

As a team, Augustana (14-2, 9-0 NSIC) split a pair of matches in Kansas, a 5-2 loss to No. 8 Washburn and a 4-2 win against Emporia State.
