Three of UNLV's four singles entries are still alive after two rounds of the Western Regional Men's Tennis Championships, which began with more than 140 players at the Fertitta Tennis Complex Wednesday.

Rebel senior Thomas Schneiter, the only seeded UNLV player (seventh), enjoyed a first-round bye before downing Jeff Harbach of BYU 6-2, 6-3. Junior Leslie Eisinga won twice, 6-2, 6-1 over Ryan O'Neil of Montana and then 6-2, 6-2 over Andrei Novacenu of Weber State, to advance. Also moving on in his UNLV debut was freshman Avivram Soloman, who downed Jacob Stocking of Eastern Washington 6-2, 6-0, and then Vedran Sirola of Boise State 6-1, 6-1.
