ALLENDALE, Mich. - The Davenport men's tennis team was able to have a strong showing in the ITA Midwest Regional Championships at nearby Grand Valley State over the weekend. The tournament was delayed one day until Saturday with all matches starting under great weather conditions. The tournament extended into Sunday and then Monday for the finalists in singles and doubles.

Jan Stolin was able to fight back after a opening-round loss in singles to the finals of the consolation bracket.

Matias Parzajuk of Lewis battled Stolin all the way into a third set tiebreak and Parzajuk won 12-10. Stolin then proceeded to win 6-3, 6-0 over Vitor Jordao of Michigan Tech. On Sunday, he continued through the draw with a quarterfinal consolation win of 6-4, 5-7, 12-10 over Niklas Nordahl Jensen of Walsh.
