Allegheny Cruises Past Grove City



GROVE CITY, Pa. - The Allegheny men's tennis team traveled to Grove City Wednesday night to take on the 21 time defending PAC champion Wolverines.

The Gators would jump out to a fast start, sweeping all three doubles competitions.

Allegheny would use their momentum from the doubles session, as they would take four of the six singles matches for the 7-2 victory.

Sophomore Patrick Cole had no trouble with Caleb Fuller 6-4, 6-1; while fellow sophomore Frank Mosconi played brilliantly, dropping just three combined games in doubles and singles play.

Freshmen Kevin Kacer and junior Mike Provenzano also had singles victories to improve Allegheny to 3-1 on the 2011 season.

The Gators will be off until mid-February when they will travel to Pennbriar Athletic Club in Erie, Pa. to battle non-conference foe John Carroll on February 12.
