Bub's Player of the Week: Alicia Menezes '08
She's only been at Amherst for one month, that's true,
but Alicia Menezes has accomplished more than you.
The women's tennis team was stellar last season,
they're even better this year and this freshman is one reason.
This weekend she won not one title but two,
at the Omni ITA she blazed right on through.
She took the singles title, dropping just one set,
is she really just a first-year? 'cause she plays like a vet!
Menezes entered unranked but she came out number one,
seeded players fell like that-too quickly to be stunned.
At the same time she played doubles, teaming up with Rachel Holt,
the pair won all five matches and gave the tournament a jolt.
Two tournament wins already, Bub's rarely sees such a thing,
we expect big things from you, Alicia-a national title come spring!
