LAS VEGAS - A pair of Rebels became repeat honorees as the 2004 All-Mountain West Conference men's tennis awards were announced at the start of the league's annual tournament.

UNLV sophomore Henner Nehles, who is ranked 68th nationally, won his second all-league nod in as many years after posting a 12-4 dual-match mark at No. 1 singles.

Junior Aviram Salomon, who is ranked 121st nationally, was named to the all-conference team for the second straight spring after compiling a 12-5 record in dual matches at Nos. 1-3 singles.

New Mexico and San Diego State led the way with three selections apiece. No UNLV player was named to the doubles team.
