Team:men

Carlos Vargas is in his seventh season as the head coach of the helm of the NM State men’s tennis program after spending 18 years as an assistant at NM State.

With three freshmen occupying his line-up, Vargas guided the Aggies to their second-straight Western Athletic Conference regular-season title with a three-way tie for first at 4-1. Down 3-1 in the championship match, he led the Aggies comeback, clinched by First-Team All-WAC honoree Christofer Goncalves, against UMKC 4-3.

With the win, Vargas saw freshman Stijn de Haan and seniors Strahinja Trecakov and Liam Goldberg earn second-team honors in singles. His No. 3 singles team of Enrique Asmar and Mauri Benitez also received second-team honors in doubles.

Vargas also became the first coach in program history to lead the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA appearances.
