Men's tennis player Jacob Tilton was named Forester Athlete of the Week on Thursday for his performance during the team's 6-3 victory at Elmhurst University last Friday.
Tilton, a sophomore, and senior Brant Christensen did not drop a game in their 8-0 blanking at #3 doubles. It was the first point of the match and Lake Forest led 2-1 going into singles play.
The first four team points in singles were split between the Foresters and Bluejays, making the score 4-3 and pulling the visitors within one win of clinching the contest. Tilton provided that victory at #4, where he rebounded from a 6-4 loss in the first set to take the second and third by the same score.
It was Tilton's second career match-clinching point.
Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thurdays.
