THE Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association congratulates Howard University Bison’s Michael Major Jr for winning Rookie of the Week for the Mid Eastern Atlantic Conference.

The Bison, who are now 1-3, captured their first win of the season against the District of Columbia Firebirds and Major - playing in the singles and doubles matchup - was instrumental in the team’s first win.

“In singles, Major would earn his maiden win as a tennis collegiate playing number two singles over Durall from UDC 6-3 7-5. Major would then go on to capture his first collegiate doubles win with partner Justin Cadeau in the top spot 6-4.

“With such a strong performance, Major Jr earned Rookie of the Week honours for his conference. The BLTA congratulates Major and all the best this college season.”
