He was also 18-3 in doubles play, with five wins over nationally-ranked doubles pairs with teammate Thibaud Berland.
 
Point Loma’s CJ Erion was named the PacWest Freshman of the Year. Erion posted a 16-5 record at No. 5 singles in his first year of collegiate competition. He won his final six-consecutive matches of the year
 
Hendrik Bode was named PacWest Coach of the Year for the third-consecutive year. He continued HPU’s streak of national dominance with an undefeated season (21-0), a national No. 1 ranking and a third-consecutive PacWest Championship title. The Sharks beat 11 nationally-ranked teams, including two wins over defending National Champion West Florida.
 
The PacWest tennis awards and teams are based on a combination of coach voting and national rankings. The individual player and coach awards are nominated and selected by the PacWest coaches. The All-PacWest teams are based on the ITA West Region rankings released prior to the NCAA Championship (April 22).
