STOCKTON, Calif. – On Tuesday afternoon, the West Coast Conference recognized sophomores Jonty Giesen and Nico Rating as the Doubles Pair of the Week after helping power Pacific to a 1-0 start in conference play.

Giesen and Rating cruised to a 6-2 win on doubles court one on Saturday over Portland – their second win together this season. The former has been Pacific's main performer on doubles court one, compiling six wins in eleven decisions after primarily playing on court two in his freshman campaign. The latter meanwhile has more recently taken up residence on doubles court one but has totaled two wins thus far.

Their award is Pacific's first player of the week recognition this season and the first time the program has had doubles player of the week honorees in consecutive seasons since 2016 and 2017.

Coming up this week for the team, they play their final two home matches of the season against conference foes Pepperdine and LMU. The Tigers take on Pepperdine on Friday at 1 p.m. and then LMU on Saturday at 2 p.m.
