DENVER – University of Denver men's tennis players
Connor Robb-Wilcox and
Theo Coats combined to sweep the Kwik Star Summit League Players of the Week awards for the eighth week of the season, the Summit League announced on Tuesday.
Robb-Wilcox earned Kwik Star Summit League Peak Performer of the Week honors while also teaming up with Coats for the Kwik Star Summit League Doubles Peak Team of the Week nod.
In both of DU's road wins at New Mexico and Northern Arizona, Robb-Wilcox won both his singles and doubles matches. In singles, he started with a routine 6-2 6-4 win at UNM to give Denver a 3-1 lead on the way to the Pioneers' eventual 4-1 overall win. The graduate student then backed up the performance with a hard-fought win in three sets, 7-6 3-6 6-2, at NAU to clinch the dual for Denver – a battle that saw the two teams trade points all along the way, setting up Robb-Wilcox to take it with the scoreboard tied at 3-3.
In doubles, Coats/Robb-Wilcox picked up two more victories to extend their win streak to six including three in a row at the No. 1 spot. First, they clinched the doubles point for DU at New Mexico with a win in a tiebreak, 7-3, before adding a 6-3 win at Northern Arizona that evened up the doubles scoreboard and allowed Denver to eventually take the point.
These are the third and fourth Summit League weekly awards of Robb-Wilcox's career, his third as part of a doubles team and his first as a singles peak performer. Coats has now picked up five Doubles Peak Team of the Week honors in his career, and this is the second of 2026 for the duo of Coats/Robb-Wilcox.
Denver players have now accounted for nine combined weekly Summit League awards this year, and this is the third time they have swept the singles and doubles honors in a week. All six Pioneers who have seen playing time in 2026 have earned weekly recognition from the league at least once.
The No. 73-ranked University of Denver men's tennis team continues its six-match road trip with a trip to No. 40-ranked Penn on Sunday, March 15, at 1 p.m. ET/11 a.m. MT.
