The Lake Forest College men's tennis team is competing at
the Midwest Conference Championships at the Nielsen Tennis Center
this weekend (April 30-May 1). After placing second in the team
tournament on Friday, the Foresters claimed a title and had three
runner-up finishes in the six positional singles tournaments.
Lake Forest freshman John Adams
(Colorado Springs, Colo./ Cheyenne Mountain) was the top seed in
the #3 singles tourney and posted three victories to capture the
title. He needed to come from behind in the semifinals after
falling 7-5 in the first set. He took the second set 6-3 and the
third 6-1 to reach the final, where he prevailed 6-2 in both sets.
Adams closed out the season with 10 consecutive victories, matching
the fifth-longest winning streak in team history. He was 25-3 on
the year.
Junior Elliot Muth
(New York, N.Y./Hill School) also dropped the first set (6-3) in
the semifinals at #2 singles before taking the final two sets (6-3,
6-1) to advance to the final, where he fell 6-2, 6-0. He finished
the season with a record of 16-6.
The Foresters also received a runner-up performance from senior Joe
Campagna (Elmwood Park, Ill./Fenwick) at #4 and, like Adams and
Muth, won in three sets (6-3, 4-6, 6-4) in the semifinals. He was
defeated 6-0, 6-1 in the final. Campagna was 19-7 on the year and
finished his career with a team record 61 singles victories against
just 23 losses.
Junior Chris
Paterakos (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) also reached the final at
#5 singles. He won his first two matches by a combined score of
24-6 before falling 6-3, 6-1 in the final and finishing 2010 with a
record of 19-6.
Junior Jon Flaksman
(Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook North) played at #1 singles and won his
first round match 6-1, 6-1 but fell in the quarterfinals.
The Foresters will close out the season with tomorrow's MWC Doubles
Tournaments.
