VanderStoep won 6-0, 6-1 at No. 1 singles at Trine University on Saturday and 6-4, 6-1 at home against Calvin College on April 9.

At No. 1 doubles, VanderStoep teamed with partner Danny Kroeze of Holland, Michigan (Holland Christian) for an 8-0 victory against Trine and an 8-2 victory against Calvin.

This is the second time in his career VanderStoep has been named MIAA Men's Tennis Player of the Week and the first time this season.
