Air Force junior Tyler McClung has been named Mountain West Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week after winning four singles and four doubles matches last week without a loss.
McClung, a Puyallup, Wash., native, went undefeated in four singles and four doubles matches last week as Air Force posted a 2-2 record. Competing at the No. 4 spot, McClung opened the weekend with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Mike Good of Army, followed by another straight set win (6-4, 6-1) over Montana State's Branden Olson. The next day, he defeated Sergi Vila of Drake, 6-3, 6-4 and beat John Ghani of Missouri-Kansas City, 6-1, 6-1. McClung also teamed with Shannon Buck to post a 4-0 record in No. 1 doubles play. The duo is now 14-2 overall and 12-1 in dual matches at the No. 1 position.
Air Force, 9-5 this season after their 6-1 victory over Boston University at home on Tuesday, is idle until Sunday, March 21 when it plays at Santa Clara beginning at 11 a.m.
