SAN MATEO, Calif. – The Portland men's tennis team swept the West Coast Conference weekly awards after convincing victories over Santa Clara and San Francisco last weekend. Sema Pankin earned WCC Singles Player of the Week honors, while Issa Yoshida and Nicklas Oberg garnered the WCC Doubles Team of the Week award.

Pankin continued his stellar play at the top of Portland's lineup in leading the Pilots to a pair of important conference wins. He defeated Santa Clara's Guillaume Dalmasso by a 6-3, 6-4 margin on Friday and then cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win against Nil Giraldez of San Francisco on Sunday. Pankin is now 9-4 in dual No. 1 singles matches, including 3-1 in WCC play.

Portland's No. 3 doubles tandem of Nicklas Oberg and Issa Yoshida were also crucial in setting the tone for both team wins. The duo defeated James Bell and Nick Cmager of Santa Clara by a 6-3 margin on Friday and then took out Stevie Gould and Nikola Kuraica of San Francisco 6-4 on Sunday to clinch the doubles point.

The Pilots will look to keep the momentum going with a tough road trip to Southern California this weekend. Portland visits Loyola Marymount on Friday at noon and then No. 20 Pepperdine on Saturday at 1 p.m.
