Rob Burda Named Forester Athlete of the Week
Freshman registered three Midwest Conference wins
  

Rob Burda was victorious three times Saturday.
LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College tennis player Rob Burda (Meridian, ID/Meridian) was named Forester Athlete of the Week for posting a 3-1 record as Lake Forest split two Midwest Conference matches on Saturday (April 5). 

Jacksonville, Illinois, was the site of the Foresters' first two MWC south division matches of the season. They took on Grinnell College first, and Burda earned their only point with a 6-1, 6-3 win at number three singles. 

The freshman followed that up with two more wins in a 6-1 victory over host Illinois College. His 6-2, 6-3 decision at number three singles and his 8-4 triumph at number two doubles (with Nick Sandner) helped the Foresters begin conference play with a .500 mark. 

The Forester Athlete of the Week is chosen by the Athletic Department on Thursdays.
