DENVER – Enrique Asmar of the New Mexico State men's tennis team was named the Western Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week Tuesday morning.
 
This is the first honor for Asmar this season and the fourth honor for the Aggies just this season alone. NM State went 1-1 last weekend in Arlington, Texas, opening the weekend with a 4-1 victory over Incarnate Word before splitting the weekend with a 4-0 loss to UT Arlington.
 
The Barranquilla, Colombia, product had a perfect weekend in singles play with a 2-0 mark, including a sweep of UTA's player 6-0, 6-0 on Sunday. Asmar went 1-1 in doubles play, with his only blemish coming against the Mavericks' No. 3 tandem in a hard-fought battle, 7-5.
 
The Aggie men will get about two weeks rest before they head up I-25 to face New Mexico on Saturday, Feb. 25, for a 3 p.m. tilt.
