MEADVILLE, Pa. – Adding to a list of outstanding accomplishments, rising tennis star Patrick Cole is listed in the final 2010-11 Campbell/ITA Regional College men's tennis rankings, ranking No. 22 in the Central Region as announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. The recently-crowned NCAC Newcomer of the Year, Cole's awards-filled rookie campaign marked the most decorated freshman season in program history.

"I just can't say enough good things about Pat.,” remarked head coach Jared Luteran. “He deserves every accolade that he receives and we couldn't ask for a better person to represent what Allegheny tennis is all about."

Cole finished the year with an 18-4 record in singles play en route to NCAC First Team All-Conference honors. He became just the third player in team history to earn first team plaudits from the league, while also netting All-Conference accolades in doubles the same year. A two-time NCAC Player of the Week selection, Cole finished the slate three wins shy of the Gators' single-season record.
