Pawit Sornlaksup Tabbed MAC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Week

TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo senior Pawit Sornlaksup earned his first academic recognition of the year by being named the Mid-American Conference's Male Scholar-Athlete of the Week on Wednesday. Sornlaksup went undefeated in singles and doubles play at the MAC Indoors over the weekend to win both Flight 1 Singles and Doubles in Kalamazoo, Mich.

The Rayong, Thailand native lost only one set against three highly competitive conference opponents en route to the Flight 1 Singles title for a second-straight season. Sornalskup defeated Northern Illinois' Mikael Vollbach (7-6, 6-2), Western Michigan's Ben George (1-6, 6-4, 6-1) and Western Michigan's Anton Arzhankin (7-6, 6-1). The two-time MAC Player of the Year has not lost a conference match since joining the Rockets' program at the start of the 2021-22 season.

Sornlaksup and teammate Marko Galic swept their three opponents to capture the Flight 1 Doubles title.

The MAC Scholar-Athlete of the Week honor is presented to the MAC male and female student-athlete who has a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better and performs well during that week's competition. Each week, schools are asked to nominate one male and one female among their sports that are in season at the time. The winner is selected by a group of the conference's faculty athletic representatives.

Sornlaksup is pursuing a degree in information systems and maintains a 3.843 GPA.

Sornlaksup and the Rockets will finish out their fall competition this weekend in Columbus, Ohio at the M25 ITS Future Tour.
