Saratoga Springs, N.Y. – Skidmore tennis sophomore Danny Knight and freshman Alec Hoblitzell swept the Liberty League weekly awards this week after their performances at the league championship this past week.

Knight was named Performer of the Week after earning five of the Thoroughbreds' 15 team points at the Liberty League championship. Knight teamed with Oliver Loutsenko to earn doubles wins at #2 doubles against Bard, Rensselaer and Vassar. He also cruised to wins at #5 singles against Rensselaer (6-0, 6-0) and Vassar (6-2, 6-1), dropping a total of three games in the two matches.
