KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Allegheny senior Patrick Cole and
sophomore Tyler Triolo will enter this weekend's United States Tennis
Association (USTA) - Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Central Region
Championships as the No. 2 overall doubles seed in the main draw, announced by
the ITA on Thursday.
The pair will enter the weekend with a 9-2 overall
record, including three wins at last week's Oberlin Invitational. The pairing
also picked up four wins from Sept. 14-15 to emerge as the champions of the
"A" Draw bracket at the 2013 Kenyon Invitational. The squad's only
losses this season have come at the hands of perennial national power Carnegie
Mellon on Sept. 7 and Division II Mercyhurst on Sept. 18.
Cole and Triolo began their three-day tournament schedule
with a victory on Friday morning over a squad from College Conference of
Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) member Elmhurst. The two will continue their
bracket play with a 9:30 a.m. match on Friday.
