Gentry achieved the recognition after securing four wins for Wheaton College's team. Her performance last week included both singles and doubles victories in dual matches against Coe and Rose-Hulman.
In a doubles match with Lydia Adams, Gentry achieved a 6-2 win over Coe's Ali Hagness and Addison Leasure. She then beat Sophia Fain in singles, winning 6-0, 6-3. The following day, this pair defeated Rose-Hulman's Lia Taylor and Addie Patterson, 6-2, and Gentry won her singles match against Taylor with a 6-1, 6-0 finish.
Gentry is the first recipient of the weekly award from Wheaton College since October 9, when Ella Malone received the honor.
