MEN'S TENNIS SHUTS OUT LAKE STATE AT GLIAC TOURNEY


MIDLAND, Mich. -- Michigan Tech knocked off Lake Superior State today for the third time in men's tennis this season -- this time at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament at the Midland Tennis Center. The Huskies (8-17) won the match, 7-0, to clinch seventh place at the league tournament.

Tech teams surrendered just two games in the three doubles matches. Chris Calder and Brett Girard were 8-2 winners at number one. Rick Halverson and Andy Sims were victorious by an 8-0 score at number two, and Brandon Ellefson and Alan Parenteau won by forfeit.

The Huskies won four singles points before the match outcome was decided and stopped. Sims gained a forfeit at number six. Calder, Ellefson, and Girard all won in straight sets with none losing more than three total games in their wins.

"We didn't play our best tennis yesterday, but I thought we rebounded well for today's match," said head coach Mike Axford. "Finishing the season with a win is always a good thing. It was also great for all three seniors to end their careers with a win."

Calder, Halverson, and Sims all wrapped up their collegiate careers.

Michigan Tech wraps up its 2007 season with an 8-17 record. Ellefson turned in the top singles record with a 10-18 slate in all matches including a 9-11 mark at number three. Ellefson and Parenteau were Tech's best doubles team at 14-11 overall and 12-11 at number three. Their 12 wins stands as the fourth-most at number three doubles in school history.
