Milwaukee, Wis. -- Newcomer Adrian Szatmary fell in the consolation singles final at the Milwaukee Tennis Classic. Szatmary led the Huskers at the five-day tournament by finishing with a 4-2 record.

Szatmary reached the final match by defeating teammate Joerg Barthel in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1, in the semifinals. A third Husker, Joel Reckewey, was also in the semifinals, where he fell to Dennis in another three-set decision. Dennis earned a chance at the final match by coming from behind to defeat Reckewey, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.
