BOCA RATON, Fla. – Nicolas Acevedo, a rising senior transfer from Wichita State, will transfer to Florida Atlantic University this fall, as announced by Ricardo Gonzalez, FAU's director of tennis, on Monday.
Acevedo comes to FAU with a two-year collegiate record of 27-18, including a career singles dual match mark of 24-16. The Concepcion, Chile native played No. 1 and No. 2 for the Shockers in 2021-22 going 7-3 on court one and 5-4 on court two. He split time in 2020-21 playing courts three-five, tallying seven wins opposed to five losses on court four.
His career doubles mark stands at 18-24, with each of the wins coming in head-to-head competition and three of the losses in tournaments. He tallied an 11-12 record in 2022, playing with five different partners.
Acevedo was named as the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week on February 1, 2022, and he received academic honor in the fall of 2021 as a member of the Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
Acevedo joined the Wichita State team in 2019-20 but did not compete. As a junior tennis player, he won two grade four International Tennis Federation tournaments in doubles and also notched two ITF tournament victories in singles in 2017. In 2018, Acevedo had a stellar victory over the player currently ranked No. 524 by the Association of Tennis Professionals at the Trujillo 15K ITF futures tournament.
"I am extremely excited to have Nicolas join our team. He has proven that he can compete among the very best in the country, and he will bring a lot of experience to our team."
