QBSN Athlete of the Week: Juliet Labarthe

This week’s QBSN athlete of the week honors are rewarded to Juliet LaBarthe (Oklahoma City, Okla.) of Quinnipiac University’s women’s tennis team.

LaBarthe, a freshman sensation for the Bobcats, has gotten off to a very impressive start to her collegiate career. Last week at the West Point Eastern Tennis Invitational, Labarthe won her first three matches to advance to the Class C singles championship match, where she lost. In all of LaBarthe’s wins, she defeated her opponents in straight sets.

Going into the West Point Eastern Tennis Invitational, LaBarthe was 10-1 in her first 11 collegiate matches. Her loss in the latest championship match ended her streak of seven consecutive matches won. 

Labarthe earned the NEC Player of the Week honors also, thanks to her performance at West Point. This was awarded to LaBarthe in conjunction with her third straight NEC Rookie of the Week honors. 

The Bobcats get a bit of a breather in the month of October, as their next matchup comes October 20^th, when Quinnipiac travels to Storrs, Conn. to take on the University of Connecticut.
