Lake Forest College men's tennis player Dan Pivonka was named Midwest Conference Performer of the Week on Tuesday for his performance in a pair of matches over the weekend.
Pivonka, a junior, won both of his matches in the Foresters' 5-4 loss to visiting Calvin College on Saturday. He and senior Ellis Lora-Arceo edged out their opponents 8-6 at #1 doubles and Pivonka added a 6-1, 6-4 triumph at the top spot in the singles lineup.
Lake Forest posted a convincing 9-0 victory at Wisconsin Lutheran College on Sunday and Pivonka was again victorious in both doubles and singles play. He and Lora-Arceo prevailed 8-1 in doubles and his 6-2, 6-3 win in singles finished off a 4-0 weekend.
Pivonka is now the Foresters' career leader in victories at #1 doubles with 31, surpassing the mark of 30 set by Alex Presman in 2009.
MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league's director of media and information. Pivonka also earned the award once during his freshman season.
