LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – Three UNLV men's tennis players were named to the All-Mountain West Conference Team on Thursday as the league announced its annual awards.
Â
Senior Eric Samuelsson (Ahus, Sweden) was named all-conference in singles for the third consecutive season after leading the Rebels in wins with a 10-8 overall mark, including 6-1 vs. MW opponents. He was named the MW Player of the Week on February 10.
Â
Joining him on the singles team for the second straight spring was Alex Kobelt (Columbus, Ohio), who battled an injury for much of the season but still posted a 4-1 mark vs. the league's No. 1 players in the lineup. He was honored as the league's player of the week on April 21.
Â
Samuelsson was joined on the all-league doubles team by local product Clayton Alenik (Las Vegas) for the second time in three years. UNLV's top duo led the squad with a 9-8 record, including 3-3 in MW action.
Â
As a team, UNLV finished in a tie for second place in the league with a 5-2 mark and turned in a 10-1 record at home in 2021.
