West ends his uni career with trip to the Nationals

FOLLOWING on from the news that Dom McLuskey is heading to the University of Hawaii, another Guernsey player is also doing well across 'The Pond'.

Rob West, 22, graduated from Cleveland State University with a degree in psychology with a focus on sports psychology this year.

He also played number two for the college's tennis team and said he had enjoyed the best year of his tennis playing career.

The team ended up with a 20-6 record and were undefeated in their regional conference, which saw them reach the NCAA National Championships for the second year running.

Towards the end of the season, they defeated both their regional conference rivals, Butler University and the University of Illinois Chicago, by a score of 4-3.

Both matches came down to the deciding match and against Butler, West (pictured) clinched the victory with a comeback win of 2-6, 7-5,6-4.

'That was up there with the biggest wins of my career,' he said.
