Athlete of the week: Erick Siquiera
The GCSU Athletic Department has named senior Erick Siquiera, a two-time ITA All-American player for the men’s tennis team, its athlete of the week for the week ending Sept. 14.
Siquiera swept the Flight ‘A’ titles last weekend in the GCSU Men’s Fall Championships. He was equally impressive in singles play and teaming with senior Justin Pickham in doubles.
He has become a strong, consistent leader for the Bobcats, facing the best singles players each opponent has to offer, and winning most matches in dominating fashion.
He finished last season ranked No. 5 in Division II and No. 1 in the region, and enters his final season at GCSU with national championship aspirations.
