What Virag did this season:  Virag, a freshman from Szentes, Hungary, earned a pair of postseason honors from the Atlantic Sun Conference for his performance for the Norse this season.  Virag was selected to the A-Sun All-Conference first team and was a unanimous selection to the A-Sun All-Freshman team.  Virag was slotted into the top singles flight immediately, compiling eight wins, including two in A-Sun play.  Virag opened the fall season strong, advancing to the finals in the top flight of the NKU Invitational, and he finished his season with back-to-back wins over Bethune-Cookman's Walid Gtari and Xavier's Jimmy Roebker.  In doubles action, Virag spent his season teamed with Pierce Kohls as the pair recorded seven victories in 2013-14 with two conference wins.

Virag is the first Norse tennis player to earn either first-team honors or freshman honors from the Atlantic Sun Conference and the first NKU student-athlete to claim both All-Conference and All-Freshman honors from the A-Sun in the same season.
