NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. — Penn State Altoona student-athlete Casey Hess (Annville, PA/Annville-Cleona) was chosen as the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference’s (AMCC) Player of the Week in men’s tennis on Oct. 10.
Hess posted wins in No. 1 singles and doubles last Monday when the Lions tennis team defeated non-conference opponent Westminster College 6-3 in its first match of the fall regular season.
In No. 1 singles, Hess defeated his opponent 6-0, 7-6 (9-7) to help Penn State Altoona win four out of six singles matches. In No. 1 doubles, he partnered with Nick Beard (Manns Choice, Pennsylvania/Bedford) to post an 8-3 victory as the Lions took two out of three in doubles play.
