The Aggies sweep the WAC Athlete of the Month for September as Goldberg joins women’s tennis player Ashvarya Shrivastava who gained the honor on the women’s side.
The Aggie junior took the White Flight title after defeating three-consecutive opponents, all in straight sets. He defeated rival New Mexico’s Shunji Hirooka 6-4, 6-2 in the championship match.
Goldberg also went 3-0 in doubles matches along with partner and fellow Australian Thomas Douglas. The New Mexico State duo had three tough matches, with scores of 8-6, 8-7 and 8-7, but came out on top in all three to be named co-champions of the doubles Crimson Flight after another Aggie team also reached the final.
Goldberg and the rest of the NM State squad will be in action this weekend as they travel north to Albuquerque, N.M., to compete in the Balloon Fiesta Invitational hosted by New Mexico, which will be held from Friday, Oct. 3, through Sunday, Oct. 5.
