Rebel soccer players on academic team

Friday, Jan. 10, 2003 | 9:29 a.m.

Four UNLV men's soccer players were named to the 2002 Academic All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Team as announced by the conference office.

Senior defender Tuomas Talvio topped the list for the Rebels with an impressive 3.87 grade-point average in finance, his third consecutive selection to the academic elite. Last year, he was named UNLV's top male student-athlete as a junior.

Fellow senior Ben Hooker, also a three-time honoree, followed with a 3.51 GPA in hotel administration, while sophomores Brendon Bain and Kristian Paananen made their first appearance on the academic all-conference team. Bain holds a 3.22 GPA in marketing and Paananen a 3.02 GPA in international business.
