Oct. 13, 2014 LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV sophomore linebacker/punter/placekicker Nicolai Bornand has been named the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season, the league announced Monday.

The graduate of Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara, Calif., contributed in three phases of the game on Friday to help UNLV upset Fresno State. He is the first UNLV placekicker to win the award at least twice in the same season since Sergio Aguayo in 2005.

Bornand's 46-yard field goal tied the game at 27 with 3:37 remaining in regulation and then his 33-yarder won it in overtime on the Rebels' first possession.

Bornand also punted twice for a 44.5-yard average and kicked off six times, producing two touchbacks and saddling the Bulldogs with an average starting field position of their own 23-yard line.

UNLV is off this week before traveling to Utah State on Oct. 25. The Rebels' next home game is Nov. 1 vs. New Mexico starting at 2:30 p.m. PT.
