The Chargers, along with the majority of men’s programs in the conference, competed at the ITA Midwest Regionals hosted by Grand Valley State.
Results can be tricky to decipher as all three conferences are represented and the brackets are jam packed with names, but Conrad managed to stand out on his own as he made his way through the singles flight.
The freshman completed a long journey to win the B singles flight through a series of close matches, tiebreakers and three-set finals.
It was impressive as he went 6-0 in the bracket, ultimately beating Karl Henrichs from Missouri-St. Louis in the championship match, 4-6, 6-4, 10-7.
He started out in similar fashion, needing to rally back to defeat Drury’s Lukas Stierling to advance out of the opening round. Conrad then beat Ashland’s Jordan Phelps in straight sets and was on his way to defeating an opponent from Wayne State before he withdrew.
In the quarterfinals, he outlasted his foe from Bellarmine in straight sets and beat another competitor from UMSL in the semifinals.
