WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State men's tennis coach Danny Bryan announced the signing of student-athlete Elio Lago Tuesday afternoon.
 
Lago joins Alex Richards, Zach Grueber and Rafael and Bruno Serra who signed in the fall to make up the Shockers' five-man signing class.
 
A native of Fortaleza, Brazil, Lago comes to Wichita State after spending the last three seasons at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
 
Lago, who earned second-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors in 2018, compiled 39 singles wins over a three-year span and finished the 2017-18 season with 24 overall singles wins for the Ragin' Cajuns. Lago finished the 2018-19 season with a 12-5 dual match record in doubles play, helping the Ragin' Cajuns to a 21-10 dual match record.
 
The 6-foot-4 righthander was rated as one of the top Brazilian juniors before attending Louisiana at Lafayette, earning a national pro ranking of 61. Lago was a two-time Northeast champion in Brazil and was No. 1 in both 14 and 16-and-under groups in Rio de Janeiro.
 
HEAD COACH DANNY BRYAN ON ELIO LAGO
 
"We are excited about Elio joining our team next year. Elio has already proven in college that on a given day he can play at a very high level. Our goal is to help him sustain that level day in and out. If we can accomplish that, the sky is the limit."
