Silver City, NM - Head Men's Tennis Coach Alex Hunt has drawn in his fifth commit for the Class of 21'. The native of Acassuso, Argentina, Lorenzo Orellano will be welcomed to Silver City, as a freshman in the Fall of 2021.

 "Lorenzo is a very smooth player. He uses his big frame with a combination with his lefty spin to keep his opponents on edge," said Hunt. "He is going to be a valuable asset to our team."

 Lorenzo was ranked 92nd in the national ranking for Best in Argentina and was regionally ranked 21st for Best in Buenos Aires. He has made a name for himself in the tennis community by working his way up, winning three national grade three tournaments in doubles, as well as one national grade three tournaments in singles. Orellano has had many opportunities competing in grade one and grade two tournaments. 

 "He is going to increase our talent depth to a level WNMU Men's Tennis has maybe never seen before. This new era of Mustang Tennis continues to progress!" said Hunt.
