UNLV notebook: Rebel tennis player on All-MWC first team

Thursday, May 3, 2001 | 10:25 a.m.

UNLV tennis senior Nenad Zivkovic earned first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors in both singles and doubles as part of the annual awards announced by the league Wednesday.

Zivkovic, 17-9 playing at No. 1 singles, is ranked 87th nationally and will look to earn his first singles bid into the NCAA Championships later this week.

Joining the Belgrade, Serbia, native on the team was No. 2 singles player Thomas Schneiter (11-8).

In doubles, Zivkovic and Gregor Skorin (11-10), who were once the nation's top-ranked doubles team in 1999, were the only men's duo named first team all-conference for the second consecutive season.

BYU's Jim Osborne was named the MWC Coach of the Year.
