Stetson's Fabian Penzkofer captured the singles title at the Varner Memorial Invitational, Sunday at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla.
 
Penzkofer defeated Rollins' Atakan Gezer 6-2, 6-3 to win the Flight A singles championship.

"I am proud of Fabian for the way he competed this weekend," Stetson head coach Christophe Noblet said. "He controlled his environment in every match he played, and clearly increased his level day by day. This tournament should give him the confidence boost he was looking for, and we are excited for his future growth."
 
Josh Laka turned in a strong singles performance as well, finishing third in Flight B, while the doubles team of Penzkofer and Laka also finished third in the Flight A doubles.
