Colorado Springs, Colo. ­ SDSU freshman Oliver Maiberger is the first-ever Mountain West Conference men's tennis Player of the Week. A native of Frankfurt, Germany, Maiberger made a splash with victories in his first two collegiate singles matches and added a doubles victory despite the Aztec team opening the season 0-3.

Cleared to play just prior to SDSU¹s conference opener with BYU on Jan. 27, Maiberger debuted in the No. 2 slot and posted a 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 victory over BYU's Gert Vilms. Just three days later, he moved to the No. 1 position and claimed a 7-5, 6-2 win over Pacific's Dietrich Hang. Maiberger teamed with Sean Webster in doubles play. The duo suffered a 6-8 loss to BYU's team of Ward/Vilms in their first match together, then defeated UOP's tandem of Abrahamsson/Larsson, 8-5, in their next outing.

Maiberger is now 2-0 in dual matches and overall. He stands 1-1 in doubles action.
