NEW ORLEANS — For the second consecutive week, App State Tennis standout No. 9
Savannah Dada-Mascoll was named the Sun Belt Women's Tennis Player of the Week. This marks the fourth time she has garnered the honor this year, the most in a single season in program history, surpassing Sasha Pisareva's three selections in 2020.
Combined with a doubles team of the week award earned alongside
Taya Powell, Dada-Mascoll has secured five total weekly conference honors this season.
The recognition follows another undefeated weekend in which Dada-Mascoll earned straight-set wins at No. 1 against Georgia Southern and Coastal Carolina. In a 4-0 sweep of Georgia Southern, Dada-Mascoll won 6-3, 6-1, finishing first in singles play. She continued her dominance against a Coastal Carolina team that entered the match 12-3, defeating Diana Zuba 6-1, 7-5 to snap Zuba's two-match winning streak.
Dada-Mascoll is currently on an 18-match winning streak, with her only loss coming in the season opener against then-No. 23 Ange Oby Kajuru (now No. 11) of North Carolina. Dada-Mascoll has won 22 consecutive sets and has not dropped a set since Feb. 28 against UT Arlington.
The Mountaineers look to carry this momentum into the final home match of the season as they host James Madison for Senior Day. First serve on April 17 at the App State Tennis Courts at the Appalachian 105 Complex is slated for 10 a.m., weather permitting.
The 2025-26 season is presented by Hound Ears Club.
