Dukic went 2-0 at the No. 2 singles position in a pair of weekend matches and played a key role in the Chicago State women's tennis team clinching a share of the Horizon League regular season title with a 5-1 record.

Manuella Eloundou earning the award two times and the doubles duo of
Ethel Li and
Sofiya Sedovich have been named doubles team of the week two times as well.
The Cougars will be back on the court Friday. Following the league's tiebreaker format, Cleveland State earned the No. 1 seed, Youngstown State No. 2 and the three-seeded Cougars will face No. 6 Oakland on April 26 at 2 p.m. CT at the Schwartz Tennis Center in West Lafayette, Indiana.
