Nika Beukers Named Big Sky Player of the Week After Dominant Conference Start

FARMINGTON, Utah - Portland State senior Nika Beukers has been named the Big Sky Women's Tennis Player of the Week, the conference announced Wednesday.

Beukers, a native of Den Bosch, Netherlands, delivered a perfect start to the Vikings' Big Sky slate, going 4-0 at the No. 1 spot to lead PSU to wins over Weber State and Idaho State.

She dominated Sunday's match against Weber State, defeating Sydney Schnell 6-2, 6-0 in singles and earning a 6-2 doubles victory alongside Nene Uemura. The duo carried that momentum into Monday, securing a 6-0 doubles win before Beukers capped the weekend with a 6-3, 6-4 singles victory over Idaho State's Stefanya Shalakhova.

Additionally, with her back-to-back doubles victories, Beukers surpassed former teammate Capu Sanoner's program record for Big Sky doubles wins in a career, achieving a new program record of 22 wins.

Wednesday's honor is the first of Beukers' career.
