ARLINGTON, Texas - The University of Texas at Arlington's Ian Vazquez was the lone Maverick named to the 2005 Hibernia Bank/Southland Conference Men's Tennis All-Academic Team, the league office announced Tuesday, May 31.

Remaining spots on the all-academic teams are then voted on by the head coaches, sports information directors and academic/compliance administrators.
