Men’s tennis player Kiryl Harbatsiuk has been voted State Hornet Athlete of the Week after breaking a school record for consecutive wins.

During the week Harbatsiuk had singles wins over Mirko Zapletal from Fresno State, Dean Jackson from the University of San Diego, Brian Brogan from Santa Clara University and Philip Therp from UC Santa Barbara.

Harbatsiuk’s 21st straight singles match win broke the previous Sac State record set in 2008 by current teammate Anton Stryhas.

The junior from Belarus has now won 24 in a row, has a 25-1 record on the season and is currently ranked No. 84 in the country.

Harbatsiuk was also named Big Sky Conference’s Men’s Tennis Player of the Week for the fourth time this year.

This week, Harbatsiuk will be competing in the Big Sky Conference Tournament at the Gold River Racquet Club.

Last year Harbatsiuk helped the Hornets win the Big Sky Tournament en route to be named Big Sky Player of the Year.
