CLEVELAND – University of Akron redshirt senior Sophia Geier (Burgebrach, Germany) has been named the Mid-American Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week, the league announced on Wednesday.
The team captain was also tabbed the Zips' Summa Health Student-Athlete of the Week on September 25.
At the Akron Invitational against Cleveland State, Louisville, and Youngstown State, Geier returned to action for the first time in over a year and went undefeated in singles play en route to the tourney singles title.
Geier registered straight set wins in each of her three victories.
In doubles action, the veteran teamed with true freshman Holland Long (Rochester, N.Y.). The duo went 2-1 at No. 2 doubles in Long's collegiate debut.
Geier earned a bachelor's degree in sport management in May 2018. She sports a 3.919 grade-point average and is pursuing an M.B.A.
Geier is the second Zip to earn the weekly MAC academic honor this fall. Junior linebacker John Lako (Monroe, Mich.) was recognized last week.
