ROSEMONT, Ill. – Kaylan Bigun of the UCLA men's tennis team was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the second time Wednesday, as the conference announced its final weekly awards of the year.

Bigun went 2-0 in singles play as the Bruins swept Nebraska (April 20) and Wisconsin (April 18) on the road. The Los Angeles native registered the clinching point in each match.

UCLA led Nebraska 3-1 with the remaining three contests deep into third sets and much in doubt. Bigun sealed the 4-1 decision with a marathon 6-7(5), 6-1, 7-6(6) victory against Nikolay Sysoev on Court 3. Bigun also beat Edouard Aubert of Wisconsin, sealing a 4-0 win.

Bigun previously won Big Ten Freshman of the Week on March 12. Rudy Quan has three such honors (April 16, Feb. 26 and Jan. 22). Spencer Johnson was voted Big Ten Player of the Week during the fall.
