PEORIA, Ill. – Junior tennis student-athlete Bozana Lojpur (Burnaby, B.C./Burnaby Mountain Secondary School) has been named this week's Bradley Scholar-Athlete of the Week, announced Thursday in recognition of her performance in the Bradley Tennis program's 2021 season-opening dual match against DePaul.

Facing DePaul's senior No. 2 player Lenka Antonijevic, who earned a straight-sets win at No. 3 Singles Friday at Illinois State, Lojpur earned a 3-sets win (7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-4) Sunday to put the Braves on the board in their season-opener against the Blue Demons. With the win, Lojpur improved her career singles record to 39-19, moving into a tie for 18th on Bradley's career singles wins list. A chemistry major with an emphasis in business, Lojpur owns a 3.32 cumulative grade point average and was a honorable mention Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete last spring. She previously was named the Bradley Scholar-Athlete of the Week Oct. 19, 2019.

Each week, a student-athlete is selected as the Bradley Scholar-Athlete of the Week. The individual chosen must be at least a sophomore in academic standing and boast a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, while displaying a level of athletic excellence.

Lojpur and the Braves will have this weekend off before returning to action with two more home matches next weekend, Feb. 12 against UIC and Feb. 13 versus Eastern Michigan, both scheduled for the indoor courts at the Clubs at River City.
