Hall of Fame
Arguably the greatest tennis player in Allegheny history, Patrick Cole '14 is the first men's tennis student-athlete from the program's modern era to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
During his four years with the Blue and Gold, Cole set numerous records and garnered multiple awards while playing in the ultra-competitive NCAC. A seven-time All-NCAC honoree, he was named to the All-NCAC First Team for singles in each of his four seasons.
Cole quickly ascended to the top of the lineup as a freshman never losing more than four matches in a season playing out of the No. 1 spot, and was named the 2010-11 NCAC Newcomer of the Year. He earned regional rankings in each of his last three seasons, reaching as high as No. 10 in both singles and doubles.
As a junior, the Livonia, Michigan, native won the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's (ITA) Central Region Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award. During his senior year, he was crowned Allegheny's NCAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Cole graduated with — and still holds — team records for the most career singles victories (83) and combined victories (161).
