Bacalla Boasts HL Player of the Week Honors

VU-Bacalla-Boasts-HL-Player-of-the-Week-HonorsSophomore Dave Bacalla (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) was named the Horizon League Men's Tennis Player of the Week Tuesday, following a pair of Crusader victories this past weekend.

Valpo opened last weekend's action with a 6-1 victory Saturday afternoon at Wright State. Bacalla led the Brown and Gold with a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 win at No. 2 singles versus Dan Gilbert. That triumph came after a 6-4, point-clinching victory alongside teammate Chase Hamilton (Hinsdale, Ill./Central) at No. 2 doubles.

Bacalla enjoyed similar success the following day in Valpo's 4-2 win at Dayton. He handed Bernando Sanson a 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 defeat atop singles play after capturing a 6-1 win with Hamilton at No. 2 doubles.

Valparaiso (17-4, 1-0 Horizon) welcomes Green Bay to town this Saturday. Check back to ValpoAthletics.com later in the week for a time and location (weather pending).
