Bio

In the best era of Northwood University men’s tennis, Oskars Vaskis stands as one of the best players in program history. A four-year player for Northwood who won over 150 matches in his career, Vaskis was named First Team All-GLIAC in every season of his career. He was a key player on the best team in school history, leading Northwood to a third-place national finish in 2002 during his senior campaign. A two-time All-American, Vaskis teamed with fellow Hall of Famer Markus Kaempfer to earn a pair of top-10 national rankings in doubles (No. 6 – 2001, No. 3 – 2002). He also finished his senior season ranked No. 18 nationally in singles. The 2002 ITA Midwest Region Senior Player of the Year, Vaskis was a part of Northwood teams that won the GLIAC Championships all four years of his career without dropping a single match in conference play.
