Babic’s name has become synonymous with the phrase “NEC Player of the Week” over the past three seasons. Claiming the honor for the sixth time this academic year, Babic increases her unprecedented three-year total to 16 weekly awards. Babic accounted for two convincing victories at No. 1 singles to retain the accolade for the fifth consecutive occasion. The reigning NEC Player of the Year made quick work of Rhode Island’s Kirsten Leikem, 6-1, 6-1, during Long Island 4-3 triumph over the Rams. Contributing to another 4-3 team victory in LIU’s regular season finale, Babic flew past Army’s Patricia Vollmer, 6-0, 6-1. Babic heads into this weekend’s Northeast Conference Tennis Championships having won 10 straight singles matches.
