WINONA, Minn. — It was a homecoming to remember for Saint Mary's University's Josh Janssen.
 
Janssen, a native of Green Bay, Wis., returned to his hometown over the weekend and promptly led the Saint Mary's University men's tennis team to three straight nonconference victories.
 
And the Cardinal junior's efforts did not go unnoticed, as Janssen was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
 
Janssen did not lose a match on the weekend — winning all three of his matches at No. 2 singles, and teaming with Matt Kurilla (Hastings, Minn.) to post three straight wins at No. 1 doubles.
 
Janssen kicked off the busy weekend with a quick, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Ripon's Preston Wurtz and an 8-5 victory in doubles play. The junior was forced to a third set in his second match against Lawrence's Giacomo Bocanegra, before prevailing with a 7-5, 4-6, 11-9 victory, while adding an 8-6 doubles win.
 
In his final match, Janssen was unstoppable, delivering a 6-1, 6-2 singles victory and completing the perfect 6-0 weekend with an 8-4 victory in doubles action.
 
For the season, Janssen is sitting at a near-perfect 5-1 in singles play, while owning a 4-2 mark in doubles play.
