SOPHOMORE CLASS

Will Adams: Indianopolis, IN
Will proved to be one of best competitors on our team last season. One of Will's highlights last season was at our conference championship match. Will, got down a set against a good player, fought back and won the second set. Will jumped all over his opponent in the 3rd set which helped the entire team. The energy he played with ignited Elliot and Rafe and his win was a big boost for the entire team. Unfortunately, Will's fall was cut short by a severe ankle injury. Will's a tough young man and will be ready for our spring season.

Eric Brinzenskiy: Staten Island, NY
Eric is a very talented player. Unfortunately, Eric did not get a chance last season in the lineup, but this did not deter Eric this past fall. Eric's fall practice was one of the highlights for me. He proved over the course of practice that he has the ability to compete for a spot in the lineup. I was very much looking forward to watching Eric compete at the ITA's. Eric got off to a slow start in his 2nd round match losing the 1st set and being down 2 breaks in the 2nd. Eric battled back and found himself up 3-0 in the 3rd set. Eric was forced to retire because of cramps, I know he was disappointed, but he had a great fall which should give him momentum going into the spring.

Lucas Lund: Sao Paolo, Brazil
Lucas was another bright spot in the fall. Lucas came back to school prepared and ready to play. Lucas did not see the lineup last season, but has continued to work hard and has shown great improvement over the year. Last year at the fall ITA regional, Lucas lost in the first round. This past fall, Lucas made it to the round of 16 losing to the number 1 seed. I am so proud of his development and I am confident that he can be a very good player for us if he keeps working hard. 

Rafe Mosetick: Hinsdale, IL
Rafe played at the number 4 spot last season. Rafe is an incredibly talented player, but what makes him special is how hard he works on his game. He is that player that will hit a basket of serves during his free time. Rafe's work ethic over the summer and the fall has catapulted him to be one of the best players in Division III. Rafe had an absolutely amazing ITA fall tournament beating the number 1 player in the country in straight sets. Rafe, ended up losing to Eric Halpern in the finals, which I know greatly disappointed him, but, he has proven to the entire country that he will be a force to reckon with in the spring.
