Skoda earned a 1-1 record in doubles over the weekend with teammate Ashley Filberth. The two are 5-4 on the spring season and 3-2 in Big 12 matches.

“Christine competed very well this weekend and has really taken her game to the next level,” KU coach Amy Hall-Holt said. “She is very deserving of the award with her 4-1 record in the Big 12.
