UNLV Lopez-Sosa will return for senior season
UNLV forward Carlos Lopez-Sosa confirmed he will return for his senior season. A fourth-year junior from Findlay Prep, he is on schedule to graduate this summer and had options of transferring or turning professional.
“Carlos and I met a number of times after the season, and I told him I thought he could be an extremely important part of our team this coming year,” coach Dave Rice said Wednesday. “He will be the only senior on our team, and he’s been a terrific leader for us.”
Lopez-Sosa averaged 2.2 points and 8.7 minutes while playing in 28 of 35 games for the Rebels last season.
