LARAMIE, Wyo. (April 25, 2017) --  For the first time this season, Wyoming tennis player Magdalena Stencel has been selected the Mountain West Women’s Tennis Player of the Week. It’s second time in her career she has earned the honor and the third Cowgirl this season. Senior Dorottya Jonas earned the award on April 5 and sophomore Tessa Van Der Ploeg was selected Feb. 8. It’s the first time since the 2010 season that multiple Cowgirls have won the award in the same year.

Stencel, a junior from Sopot, Poland, went 2-0 overall last week helping the Cowgirls to a 4-0 win over Colorado State.
