MEN’S TENNIS: Miller Named NWC Player of the Week

For the second time this season, Pacific Lutheran's David Miller has earned Northwest Conference Player of the Week honors.

Miller helped the Lutes win a pair of conference matches last Saturday to finish off the regular season. He won both of his singles matches in straight sets and teamed with Justin Larimore for two doubles wins. Miller is 16-3 in singles and 13-5 in doubles this season.

The senior out of Auburn Riverside High School leads the Lutes into this weekend's Northwest Conference Championships at the Yakima Tennis Center. The Lutes enter the tournament as the No. 2 seed and will meet the winner of the Whitworth versus Willamette first-round match in the conference semifinals. Pacific Lutheran is the two-time defending conference champion, but Whitman, unbeaten in conference matches this year, is the top seed and favored to win the tournament.
