TOWSON, Md. – Men's tennis sophomore Ilia Buralkin (Moscow, Russia), was one of eight student-athletes honored as the Landmark Conference Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week. 

With the unprecedented cancellation of spring sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Landmark Conference will be recognizing an athlete from each member institution in each conference-sponsored spring sport for the remainder of the academic year.  

Buralkin has had a strong start to his career. He was named the Landmark Rookie of the Year and made the All-Conference First team in both singles and doubles last year. His career record as of right now is 18-3 at No. 1 singles and 14-6 at No.1 doubles.
