The Forester men's tennis team raised its record on the season
to 13-3 by defeating Beloit College 9-0 and Knox College 7-2 at
home on Saturday (April 10). The victory over Knox lifted Lake
Forest's Midwest Conference South Division mark to 2-1 and dropped
the Prairie Fire to 3-10 overall and 1-1 in league play. Beloit
fell to 1-5 overall.
The Foresters swept all nine matches against Beloit, beginning with
the three doubles match-ups. Juniors Jon Flaksman
(Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook North) and Elliot Muth
(New York, N.Y./Hill School) won 8-5 at #1, senior Joe Campagna
(Elmwood Park, Ill./Fenwick) and junior Chris
Paterakos (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) teamed up for an 8-1
triumph at #2, and freshmen John Adams
(Colorado Springs, Colo./Cheyenne Mountain) and Kevin Lasky
(Piedmont, Calif./Piedmont) blanked their opponents 8-0 at #3.
The closest singles match was also at the top spot in the lineup,
where Flaksman prevailed 6-3, 6-2. Adams and sophomore Nick Cantor
(Providence, R.I./Wheeler School) did not lose a game at #3 and #6,
respectively. Buccaneer players won just one first-set game against
Muth at #2 and Campagna at #4 and a second-set game against
Paterakos at #5.
Lake Forest fielded the same lineup against Knox and again swept
the three doubles matches in convincing fashion. The score was 8-1
at #2 and 8-2 at the other two positions.
The home team fell at #1 and #6 singles but won at four spots in
between. Muth prevailed 6-2, 6-0 to raise his singles recod on the
season to 11-3 and Adams matched the third-longest singles winning
streak in team history with his 11th triumph in a row, a 6-0, 7-5
victory. He is now 14-1 in 2010. Campagna is now 10-4 on the year
after winning 6-1, 6-0 and Paterakos posted a 6-1, 6-1 victory to
match Muth's 11-3 record so far this season.
The Foresters will be back on their home courts tomorrow when they
host the University of Chicago at 9:30 a.m. and Carthage College at
2:30 in the afternoon.
