APPLETON, Wis. — Jason Dunn picked up a pair of big wins and was named the Midwest Conference Player of the Week.

Playing No. 2 singles, Dunn beat Florent Marco of UW-Eau Claire 6-1, 6-3. Dunn teamed with Max Zlevor at No. 1 doubles for a 9-8 (7-4) victory over Eau Claire at No. 1 doubles. The Vikings defeated the Blugolds 5-4, and that marked the first time Lawrence had defeated Eau Claire since the teams first started playing in 1995.
