ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- After posting an undefeated record during the month of March, Navy senior women's tennis player Emani Decquir was honored as the Patriot League Women's Tennis Player of the Month, the league office announced on Thursday.

It marks the third time in school history that a Navy women's tennis player has earned Player of the Month accolades and is the first-such honor for Decquir.

Decquir, a three-time first-team all-Patriot League performer from Sacramento, Calif., had a brilliant month compiling a 9-0 combined record and helping the Midshipmen post a 7-0 team mark during the month. She went 4-0 at No. 1 singles and combined with freshmenSam Droop (4-0) and Katie Porter (1-0) for a 5-0 record while playing No. 2 doubles. Three of her four singles wins were in straight sets and her lone three-set win came against Delaware's Danea Jonjic, the No. 1 player for a team that was ranked as high as 62nd in the country. She defeated a pair of Patriot League opponents last weekend allowing just 13 games won by her opponent in the two matches combined.

Decquir now owns a 17-11 singles record this year, including a 9-4 mark in dual meetsi, while going 8-13 in doubles action this year.

Decquir is second on the school's all-time singles victories list with 63, first on the doubles list with 54 and holds the school record for career combined wins with 117.

Meanwhile, junior David Hall (Huntersville, N.C.) and rookie Garrett Moyer (Annapolis, Md.) produced an 8-over par 80 in Monday’s opening round but the duo regrouped and both shot the low round of the day for Navy with a 6-over par 78 on Tuesday afternoon.

Anchoring the efforts for The Tribe is Jeremy Wells who is the individual leader with a 4-under par 140 (68-72).

GRASONVILLE, Md. — Led by rookie Zeke Shaffer’s (Radford, Va.) 3-over par 75, the Navy golf team stands 11th out of 24 teams following the opening round of the 54-hole Whiting Turner Towson Invitational played at the Prospect Bay Golf Course in Grasonville, Md. on Easter Sunday. The Mids put together a 22-over par 310 to position themselves in 11th, 19 strokes behind leader William & Mary and one stroke behind the eighth-place trio of Binghamton, Iona and Towson.

“We struggled with the speed of the greens today, but I thought we hit the ball well,” said Navy head coach Pat Owen. “I look for us to continue to strike the ball well and manage the greens better as we settle in.”

Shaffer, who made his lone appearance prior to this weekend at the season-opening Navy Fall Classic in September, is 13th among the individual standings, 7 strokes behind tournament leader Jeremy Wells of William & Mary (-4, 68).

“Zeke had a great juniors resume and I think it probably took a semester for him to get adjusted to the collegiate game and lifestyle,” said Owen. “He has a tremendous attitude and work ethic and I think he could be a pleasant addition to our lineup if he continues to play like he has.”

Sophomore August Jonas (Jacksonville, Fla.) put together a 5-over par 77 to finish 35th after the opening round, while junior Chris House (Raleigh, N.C.) is a stroke back in 47th. Junior David Hall (Huntersville, N.C.) and rookie Garrett Moyer (Annapolis, Md.) are tied for 65th in the standings after turning in an 8-over par 80.
