COLUMBIA, Ky. - The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics named three Lindsey Wilson student-athletes to the 2026 UTR NAIA Men's Tennis All-America Teams.

The trio helped the sixth-ranked Blue Raiders to the program's ninth appearance in the NAIA National Tournament quarterfinals and first since 2021, as well as the Mid-South Conference regular season and tournament championships.

First-Team selection Lev Sholosh, a junior from Lviv, Ukraine, posted a perfect 16-0 record in singles play during the 2025-26 season, becoming the fifth different player in program history to accomplish the feat. All but one of his victories came in straight sets as he collected three wins over ranked opponents, while consistently being ranked inside the top-10, himself. Sholosh was voted NAIA Player of the Week on April 7 and earned Mid-South Conference Player of the Year honors on April 17.

In doubles, Sholosh teamed up with Lucas Marques and Facundo Grasso to go 14-4 with two wins against nationally ranked opponents.

Grasso, a fellow First-Team honoree from Buenos Aires, Argentina, turned in a solid freshman campaign by going 14-3 in singles and 12-4 in doubles. He scored four wins over national ranked competition, and by the end of the season was rated 20th by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). In the NAIA National Tournament, Grasso upended No. 39 Santiago Sarudiansky of Huntington (Ind.) in straight sets, one 13 such results during the year.

Lastly, Second-Team recipient Miguel Mateo Larrea, another freshman from Guayaquil, Ecuador, ended his first season on a 15-match winning streak to finish 17-1 in singles. He posted a 4-0 mark versus ranked opponents and climbed to No. 47 nationally in the ITA's latest rankings. In doubles, Larrea went 11-4, including 7-2 alongside Grasso.

All three Blue Raiders earn their first career NAIA All-America accolades, matching 2016 for the program's most single-season honorees.
