COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - UNLV's Danny Erez has been named the Mountain West Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week, the league announced Wednesday.
It marked the second time the senior had earned the honor in his career.
A native of Tel Aviv, Israel, Erez posted a 3-0 combined record in singles and doubles play last weekend to help his team post two wins over ranked squads at the prestigious Blue-Gray Tennis Classic in Montgomery, Ala.
Erez, playing No. 3 singles, first downed Chris Erikson of No. 61 William & Mary 6-2, 6-2, and then swept George Turner of No. 41 Harvard, 6-1, 6-4, for his 50th career victory against only 33 defeats.
Erez also teamed with Thomas Schneiter at the second position to win a decisive doubles point in the team's 4-3 upset of the Crimson.
The 55th-ranked Rebels host New Mexico State on Friday and close out their home season vs. Tulsa on Sunday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
