The Lake Forest College men's tennis team defeated Alma College and host Adrian College 6-3 on Saturday (March 27) to improve to 9-2 on the season.

The Foresters started the afternoon by winning two of the three doubles matches against Alma. Senior Joe Campagna (Elmwood Park, Ill./Fenwick) and junior Chris Paterakos (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) prevailed 8-1 at #2 and freshman John Adams (Colorado Springs, Colo./Cheyenne Mountain) and Kevin Lasky (Piedmont, Calif./Piedmont) recorded an 8-3 triumph at #3.

Lake Forest also won at each of the top four positions in singles. Junior Jon Flaksman (Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook North) edged out the Scots' best player 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, (10-2). Adams (6-1, 6-1), Campagna (6-0, 6-2), and Paterakos (6-2, 6-4) each posted more convincing victories at #2, #3, and #4, respectively.

The score was also 2-1 in favor of the Foresters after doubles play against Adrian. The winners were the same as in the first contest of the day, with Campagna and Paterakos blanking their opponents 8-0 at #2 and Adams and Lasky doubling up their foes 8-4 at #3.

The doubles victory for Campagna was the 53rd of his career and he has won 48 times in singles, giving him a program record 101 career triumphs, one more than the previous mark set by Shane Bell in 2000 and matched by Andrew Fretter last year.
