Cole also tied freshman Tyler Triolo as the new record holders for most doubles wins in a single season.

Off the court, Cole has played a major role in the Allegheny Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), elected to the President position for the 2013-14 season. Thus far in his career for the Blue and Gold, Cole is 57-15 in singles matches to compliment a 53-22 mark in doubles matches.

Next, Cole will advance to the national ballot, where he will be one of the student-athletes eligible to be selected for the National Arthur Ashe Jr. Award winner, co-sponsored by the ITA and United State Tennis Association (USTA).
