WESTON, Mass. - Regis College senior Michael Beluch (Lynn, Mass.) has been named this week's New England Collegiate Conference men's tennis Player of the Week, while teammate Chris Harrow (North Reading, Mass.) has been named the Rookie of the Week, it was announced Monday morning.

Beluch was named the NECC Championship Tournament MVP as he helped lead the Pride to its third consecutive NECC Championship with wins at #1 Singles and #1 Doubles in consecutive 9-0 Pride sweeps of Newbury College and Becker College. In the championship match Beluch teamed with Chris Harrow for an 8-1 doubles win and took a straight set singles win with a pair of 6-1 sets.

This is the fourth this season that Beluch has received Player of the Week honors.

Harrow had a great week for the Pride as he was a key cog in the team's third straight NECC Championship. During the NECC Semifinals against Lesley, Harrow defeated Billy Baker at No. 2 singles, 6-0, 6-0 and teamed up with Michael Beluch at No. 1 doubles to win the set 8-0. During the NECC Championship against Becker, Harrow dominated at No. 2 singles winning his match 6-1, 6-1 and again partnered up with Beluch for an 8-1 win at No. 1 doubles.
