DENVER, Colo. - Fresno State men's tennis student-athlete David Ayoun, was named the Verizon WAC Player of the Week of Feb. 19-25.
The senior earned his first honor of the season when he went 2-0 in singles and doubles against UNLV last Sunday.
Against No. 63 UNLV, Ayoun and partner Jean-Charles Diame clinched the point for the `Dogs with their victory over Johannes Markel and Rene Ruegamer, 8-3, at No. 3 doubles. Ayoun earned the first Bulldog singles victory of the day when he bested Charlie Alvarado, 6-3, 6-4, at the No. 5 spot. He was the only Bulldog to have a perfect record for the day.
Ayoun has been a driving force behind the Bulldog's eight-match winning streak and climb to the No. 16 spot in the nation. The senior posts an impressive 9-1 record for the season in singles including a victory that contributed to the win against No. 9 Stanford.
