CLEVELAND – For the second week in a row the Western Michigan men's tennis team has swept the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week Awards. Freshman Brogan Pierce has been named MAC Men's Tennis Singles Player of the Week and the duo of freshman Joaquin Caballer and junior Peter Kuszynski have been named MAC Men's Tennis Doubles Team of the Week.
 
Pierce played in two of WMU's three matches last week. He opened the week with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Pedro Alverez of Chicago State at No. 6, helping the Broncos earn a 7-0 win over CSU. The Batavia, Ill., native was also slotted at No. 6 in Saturday's match at Notre Dame.

They moved up to No. 2 against Illinois-Chicago and won 6-2 and WMU's win over UIC. On Saturday they clinched the doubles point for the Broncos at No. 3 against Notre Dame, winning 6-4.
