Parfenov and the defending conference champion Dragons started out the fall season at the Charger Invitational hosted by Hillsdale.
Parfenov had an impressive start in A singles, taking down the No. 10-ranked player in the region from Ashland in a thrilling match that went to an 11-9 tiebreaker.
He also pulled out another exciting victory in the semifinals, defeating Hillsdale 6-2, 5-7, 10-6 to reach the final.
Parfenov may have played more tennis than any other Dragon over the weekend, as his finals match also went to a tiebreaker, but the junior could not complete the run and fell to Ashland 4-6, 7-5, 7-10.
In doubles, Parfenov and his partner Michael Gurtner scored a 6-3 victory in their opening match.
This is his second career conference weekly honor in men’s tennis.
