RANKINGS UPDATE
The ITA updated their team rankings with their third in-season release last Wednesday, and the Patriots men moved up to #4 while the Patriots women moved to #13.
It was also the first time this spring that the ITA has updated their individual player rankings, and several Patriots made the cut. Five men’s singles players are now ranked, including Malo Poulesquen at #10, Samuel Antwi at #26, Artiom Dorofeev at #28, Carel Wessel at #37, and Daniil Felker at #38. Yona Bancarel on the women’s side is #11.
In doubles, Felker and Wessel combine to be ranked #9, while Antwi and Dorofeev are #41, while Bancarel and Natalia Gorzny are #11 in women’s.
THE FALL SLATE
The fall slate was one of the best of the Division II era for the program, with both teams sending players to the ITA Cup. The women’s pair of Natalia Gorzny and Yona Bancarel became the first Patriots women to represent the program at the ITA Cup in the Division II era, and the doubles pair of Daniil Felker and Carel Wessel along with singles player Malo Poulesquen represented the men.
Gorzny and Bancarel finished 2-1 on the week, Felker and Wessel went 1-2, and Poulesquen also finished 2-1.
