COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Jake Vose was named the Mountain West Conference's pitcher of the week on Monday afternoon. The senior lefthander from Las Vegas (CCSN) pitched seven scoreless innings for the Rebels last Saturday against Nevada, Reno, where he held the Wolf Pack to just four hits while striking out five and walking one.

Jake currently leads the Rebel pitching staff with an ERA of 2.84, and is second on the team in strikeouts with 13. This is Vose's first MWC award of the season and the third of his career.

This also marks the second time this season that a Rebel baseball player has been honored by the Mountain West Conference as Ryan Ruiz was named MWC player of the week on February 16th.

New Mexico's Matt Young was named this week's player of the week. Young was 6-for-11 (.545) with a pair of triples, five runs scored and four RBI last week for the Lobos. He tied a career-high with four hits in the season opener vs. Kent State and was 2-for-4 vs. No. 23 Nebraska. Young had five putouts and no errors in three games in center field.
