FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State's Melanie Gloria added another honor to her long list of accomplishments at Fresno State as she was named the ITA Northwest Region's 2009 Senior Player of the Year.
To date, Gloria has posted a 35-13 record in singles and a 31-7 doubles record this season and is currently ranked 18th in singles and 15th in doubles with partner Tinesta Rowe.
