MEADVILLE, Pa. - The Allegheny men's tennis squad swept the Penn State-Behrend Lions for the second year in a row, as they won their first match of the season on a rain shortened day. Originally scheduled to be match one of the Nancy J. Heath Invitational, the Gators and Lions played their only matches of the day in the Wise Center instead of at the tennis courts within the Robertson Complex.
Patrick Cole, Alex Hurtuk, Kevin Kacer, Daniel Conory, Danny Jacobs, and Tyler Miller all won their singles matches with relative ease. In doubles competition, the Gators won all but three games; going 8-2 in #1 doubles, 8-1 in #2 doubles, and 8-0 in #3 doubles.
The win moves Allegheny to 1-0 on the young season. The Gators will take to the court next on Tuesday, against Mercyhurst College. Allegheny was scheduled to host John Carroll tomorrow, but impending rain has forced both teams to postpone the contest until later this season.
