Biography

As a rookie, Mike Klimchak went 22-3 at third singles for the Lions. He went 9-1 in tournament play and 13-2 in dual action to earn the Coaches' Award for the 2004-2005 season. He also added a 17-7 doubles record to his resume after playing at second doubles.

Klimchak continued to improve during his sophomore season, and quickly jumped up the regional rankings, receiving a No. 2 seed at the 2005 ITA Northeast Regional Tournament. He earned the No. 2 singles spot for coach Dicheck and responded with key wins over regional opponents NYU, Trinity and Bates. In doubles play, he teamed with newcomer Roger Mosteller in the spring season to go undefeated in doubles at 9-0. He also won three matches with freshman Will Daly to remain unbeaten on the dual-match season.

As a junior, Klimchak set the bar high for himself and his teammates and it paid off for the Lions. Playing at No. 1 singles, Klimchak enjoyed his most successful season as he went 16-4 with a 10-3 record in dual play. By year's end, he earned a No. 37 national singles ranking with a No. 10 Northeast Regional singles ranking. His success on the court was not limited to singles only as he and Mosteller added to their resume as well. The tandem extended their dual meet with streak to 20-0 before falling in doubles play to a No. 1 pair from Johns Hopkins University.

By season's end, Klimchak and Mosteller would gain a spot in the 2007 NCAA Division III Doubles Championship before dropping from the draw in the first round to the No. 2 seeded pair. Overall, the duo would produce an 18-5 record together with a 12-2 dual meet record.
