Junior Julien Evrard has been named the Wolf Pack Student-Athlete of the week after his performance in last week’s ITA Mountain Regional in Las Vegas. Evrard went 9-2 and made it to the finals of both the singles and doubles brackets.
Â
This is the second time Evrard has been named Wolf Pack Student-Athlete of the week, earning the honor in April of last season, when he went 4-0 against conference foes San Diego State and UNLV.
Â
Evrard is the first from Nevada to make it to the either final of the regional, having made it to both. The second-place finish in the singles bracket earned him a place in the Oracle ITA National Championships in Surprise, Ariz. from Nov. 7-11. He will be the first member of the Pack to compete in the 128-person tournament.
Â
Paired with Kostya Nesterenko in the doubles bracket, the duo went 4-0 before falling to a pair from Northern Arizona 7-5, 6-2. In the singles competition, Evrard went 5-0 before falling 7-6, 6-3 to New Mexico’s Rickey Hernandez-Tong.
Â
Next up for the team is the Fresno State Invitational from Nov. 2-4 in Fresno, Calif.
