“This is a nice honor for Mike,” said head coach Adam Reeb. “He was a little under the weather this past weekend, but he came through big time for our team. He has steadily gotten better in doubles and he and Ian [Clare] have become a formidable team. In singles, he has been a solid force for us as well. Mike had a great weekend and I’m very proud he received this recognition.”
