He also advanced the furthest among Warriors in the Wheaton College Invitational, making it to the semifinals with 8-0 and 8-6 wins before losing in a tie-break.

Golijanin becomes the sixth Warrior this past week to be named a Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Week along with James Suozzo (football), Jen Otis (Field Hockey), Robbie Sabadoz (M-Soccer), Molly Cindric (Volleyball) and Alyssa Pickert (Volleyball).
