Nisbet, Phillips Claim All-Conference Honors

NEW ORLEANS - Lance Nisbet and Daniel Phillips were named to the 2026 American All-Conference Team, the league announced Tuesday.

Nisbet and Phillips, currently ranked No. 41 nationally, were selected to the all-conference doubles team, while Phillips also earned all-conference singles honors.

The duo posted a 9-6 doubles record, highlighted by wins against then-No. 21 LSU, No. 11 Arizona State and No. 63 Liberty. Phillips finished the season with a 16-11 singles record at the No. 1 position. He earned ranked victories over Rice's Petro Kuzemenok when the latter was ranked No. 49 and again in the American Conference Tournament when he was ranked No. 53.

It marked the first time since 2019 that Tulane has had multiple student-athletes earn all-conference honors (Ewan Moore, Luis Erlenbusch).
