LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV men's golf senior Shintaro Ban has been named the Outstanding Rebel of the Week presented by Air Force Reserve, the school announced Wednesday. This marks the second straight week and the fourth time during the 2017-18 season Ban has earned the honor.

The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition from Monday through Sunday as voted on by the UNLV Athletic Communications department.

Ban, from San Jose, California, captured tournament medalist honors for the second straight week, this time with a first-place finish at the 2018 Mountain West Championship. The senior's individual title - his fourth of the 2017-18 season and fifth of his career - helped the No. 21 Rebels earn their third consecutive conference championship and fifth overall last weekend. Ban carded a tournament-low 7-under 65 during the final round to win the tournament by nine shots at 16-under 200. He set Mountain West individual records for total score (previous record: 202), score relative to par (previous record: 12-under) and margin of victory (previous record: four shots). He was the only student-athlete in the field to shoot three rounds in the 60s and finished with a tournament-high 20 birdies over 54 holes.
