WICHITA, Kan. (MacBulldogs.com) — Michael Beltran and Marcus Nardy were named First-Team All-KCAC, while Arthur Nardy and Martin Millos grabbed second-team honors. Daniel Marcano was named honorable mention.
“These guys played a great season in conference and are well deserving of these,” head coach Keiran President said. “Some of these guys went undefeated in conference play and helped us secure another Conference Title.”
Beltran, a now four-time all-KCAC first teamer, finished the spring season with a 9-3 record, including a 7-1 mark in KCAC play. He was also named the KCAC Player of the Week twice. Beltran’s lone KCAC loss was to KCAC Player of the Year Bryce Ware.

He ended the regular season on a three match winning streak, before winning a pair of matches in the KCAC Tournament. Marcus played just four doubles matches in the regular season, losing just one, and was a perfect 2-0 against KCAC opponents.

A native of Vigo, Spain, Millos finished the regular season with a 10-5 record, and a 6-1 mark in KCAC play. Millos was crucial to the Bulldogs ninth KCAC tournament title, winning both of his singles matches in the #4 position.
