UNLV junior D.J. Myers was named the Mountain West Pitcher of the Week on Monday after tossing eight shutout innings last week.

Myers, a right-hander from Henderson, gave up four hits and one walk while striking out six against Air Force on Friday.

Myers is 3-1 with a 4.47 ERA in nine starts this season for the Rebels.

This was the first Mountain West weekly accolade for a Rebel this season.
