The Valparaiso University tennis team continued its Missouri Valley Conference weekly awards haul on Tuesday as the Beacons swept the honors for the second time this season, with senior Moira Silva (Houston, Texas / Westside) earning MVC Singles Player of the Week and Silva joining sophomore Brynn Steven (Wichita, Kan. / Bishop Carroll) to form the league's Doubles Team of the Week.
 
Silva turned in a perfect 2-0 week at No. 1 Singles, winning both of her matches in straight sets. Her singles play helped Valpo recover from dropping the doubles point in both matches to win the team match on both occasions. On Saturday vs. Marian, Silva achieved a "double bagel" at the top singles spot with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Marian's Yasmin Imamniyazoa. On Sunday, Silva's 6-2, 6-4 victory over Martyna Piechowicz at No. 1 Singles was crucial in Valpo's 4-3 victory over Oakland. Silva now has 60 career singles wins including a 12-2 overall and 10-0 dual-match record this season. She has won six straight singles matches to start her spring season.


 
Valpo's No. 2 doubles team of Silva and Steven went 2-0 this week, prevailing 6-1 over Marian's Rivera Flores/Irigoyen on Saturday before a 6-2 victory over Bulut/Klimas on Sunday. Steven and Silva own a perfect 5-0 record playing doubles together. Silva moved into sole possession of fifth in program history with her 52nd career doubles win on Sunday. 
 
Silva now has 13 career MVC weekly awards and five this season, including three MVC Singles Player of the Week nods. Silva and Steven won the league's doubles award for the second time in 2026.
 
The Beacons will play their final match prior to spring break on Saturday at 2 p.m. as they host St. Thomas at The Courts of Northwest Indiana.
