The recognition marks the second time that Van Impe has been selected for both honors in the same week.   

It is also the fourth time that Van Impe has been selected as conference Freshman of the Week and her second Player of the Week honor this spring.    

Van Impe collected two ranked singles wins over the weekend to end the regular season. She first defeated No. 13-ranked Berta Passola Folch from Cal, 6-2, 6-2 on Friday and then beat No. 32 Monika Ekstrand of Stanford, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in Sunday's regular season finale.
