GREENSBORO, N.C. – Duke rising junior Nicolas Alvarez earned a place on the 2016 All-ACC Academic Men's Tennis Team, as announced Thursday by league commissioner John Swofford. It was the second straight year Alvarez was named to the league's academic squad.

On the court in 2015-16, Alvarez was a First Team All-ACC honoree for the second straight season. He ended the year ranked No. 28 by the Oracle/Intercollegiate Tennis Association. He was named the squad's most valuable player and earned his second straight NCAA Singles Championship selection.

He served as Duke's No. 1 singles player for the entire season and ended the year on a strong note, winning six of his final eight matches.
The league had 10 schools represented on the 2016 All-ACC Academic Team, led by Virginia with five honorees. The Cavaliers' junior Thai-Son Kwiatkowski was named the 2016 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
