CLAREMONT, Calif. – Senior Daniel Morkovine is named CMS Athlete of the Week after putting on a spectacular performance at the ITA West Regional in singles and doubles this past weekend. Taking first place in both events, Morkovine is the first athlete in CMS history to accomplish such a feat.
Entering a tournament field of 64 entrants, Morkovine played his way to the singles finals where he beat CMS freshman Nikolai Parodi in three sets (4-6, 6-3, 7-5). The senior only dropped one set during his run to the title. In the doubles event, Morkovine and his doubles partner, sophomore Julian Gordy, beat Parodi and senior Glenn Hull in the final (6-4, 6-4).
