Lisa Bartnicki was a two time national qualifier in women's tennis.  She qualified for NCAA III singles play in 1985 and partnered with Mary Sarbacker for the doubles competition in 1987.  She was also an alternate for the 1986 NCAA III singles tourney.  She won the flight two singles title at the WIAC meet in 1984, then won flight one championships in 1985 and 1986.  She added flight one doubles titles, with Sarbacker, to her haul in 1986 and '87.  She was a tri-captain for UW-W in 1985 and co-captain in 1987, and the team's MVP in both 1986 and 1987.  During her four years UW-Whitewater went 53-21 in dual meets, winning WIAC titles in 1984, '85 and '87.  Bartnicki went 23-7 in 1985 at number one, the fifth best winning percentage at flight one in school history, followed in sixth place by her 13-5 mark in 1987.  The 23 wins is the third most at the most challenging level of singles play in UW-W history.  In her two years of partnering with Sarbacker the duo went 27-3 in 1987, the school's best winning percentage ever at the top flight of doubles and the most wins ever at #1, and 20-6.  As a sophomore Barnicki and partner Diane Sullivan went 15-5 at #2 doubles, the seventh best doubles mark at a flight other than number one.  She compiled 50 wins at number one singles in her career, fourth in the school record book, and 59 wins overall, seventh best.  Her career mark of 50-20 at number one singles in third best ever at UW-W. Her career total of 48 wins with Sarbacker place that duo atop the wins list at one doubles, and their winning percentage (.842) is second all-time.  Bartnicki Eyssautier is a resident of Menomonee Falls.
