Beck Roghaar joined UNLV tennis in 2007 as assistant coach and promptly helped the men's team win its first-ever Mountain West Conference tournament championship. "We're very fortunate to have someone of Beck's character and enthusiasm as our assistant," head coach Owen Hambrook said. "The energy he brings to the program every day is unbelievable." A native of Utah, Roghaar was a member of a WAC Championship team at regional rival Boise State. A three-time team captain for the top-30 ranked Broncos, he turned in a sparkling 18-6 record in dual matches in his final semester in 2005. Compiling an all-time 52-35 mark at BSU, his 24-10 overall senior mark came after recovering from a knee injury that sidelined him during much of the previous two seasons. The four-time Academic All-WAC honoree also received the Mountain Region Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsman Award. Ranked in the nation's Top 100 in junior singles 18-and-under, he was a Utah state high school champion and four-time regional junior champion, rising as high as No. 1 in the Intermountain Section and twice competing at the Junior Davis Cup, Kalamazoo Hard Court and Clay Court Nationals. Roghaar, who served as president of BSU Student Athlete Advisory Committee, earned his bachelor's degree in marketing in 2005 and is currently pursuing his MBA at UNLV. Prior to moving to Las Vegas, he served as Director of Tennis at the UCSB Family Vacation Center and a teaching professional at Knollwood Country Club in Santa Barbara, Calif. | ||||||||||||||||
