LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV men's tennis team won the second of its two matches Friday to remain perfect on the young season.
 
The Rebels (3-0) downed Weber State 4-1 just a few hours after beating New Mexico State by the same score.

REBEL OF THE MATCH: Richard Solberg and partner Zach Garner won their doubles match 6-2 and then Solberg rolled past Junhao Ye at the second position in singles play, 6-2, 6-0.
 
QUOTABLE: "Long day of tennis today against two pretty tough opponents. A lot to work on but overall a positive day for the team."
-UNLV Head Coach Owen Hambrook
