WERT CAPS AN UNDEFEATED WEEKEND BY BEING NAMED AOW
     Lake Forest men's tennis player Jacob Wert, a senior from Minneapolis, MN (Blake High School), has been named the Forester Athlete of the Week after going 2-0 in singles play and 1-0 in doubles action over the weekend.  During Lake Forest's 5-2 win over Midwest Conference South Division foe Knox on Saturday, Wert defeated Luke Southworth 6-0, 6-3 and then teamed with Courtney Barr at No. 2 doubles to record an 8-3 victory over Knox's Ron Hammers and Sam Tandem.  On Sunday versus another MWC South opponent, Illinois College, a match in which the Foresters won 4-0, Wert defeated B. Piper 6-3, 6-0.  Wert played out of the No. 3 singles position at both matches.  The two wins upped Lake Forest's overall record to 5-2 and their MWC mark to 2-0.
