Tennis Facilities The David V. Wise Center (right) features four indoor courts with a medium-pace polyurethane rubber floor. The Wise Center provides a state-of-the-art indoor facility right on campus, as well as a rain site for matches. Other amenities include a 210-meter indoor track; a 6,000 square foot weight room; state-of-the-art nautilus equipment; racquetball courts; an aerobics/dance studio; a pool and diving well; a performance arena used by the basketball and volleyball teams; and an athletic training room. The Robertson Tennis Complex (below) features 12 lighted courts divided into four banks of three courts, a state-of-the-art sound system and a U.S. Open DecoTurf surface. The new blue and green surface was installed during the summer of 2009. Named after 1906 alum Andrew Wells Robertson, the state-of-theart Robertson Athletic & Recreation Complex encompases the home facilities of the baseball, football, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, and tennis teams. Frank B. Fuhrer Field, located within the 203-acre Robertson Athletic Complex, was completely renovated in 2006. Fuhrer Field features a FieldTurf playing surface (the same surface used by many NFL teams), stadium lighting, full locker rooms, and an eight lane olympic style track. Originally known as College Field, the complex was named after Andrew Wells Robertson in 1962 to honor the year he was named Chairman Emeritus of the Allegheny Board of Trustees. Robertson purchased additional acreage along Park Ave. to supplement land originally donated in 1910 by John F. Eberhart. (class of 1853). In addition to donating land, Robertson underwrote the cost of developing the athletic field. A beautiful and spacious venue for intercollegiate athletics, Robertson saw that the natural setting was preserved by having shrubbery and trees removed during construction replanted elsewhere on campus. In addition, Robertson Athletic Complex also includes one of the nation’s finest outdoor track and field facilities; and an NCAA championship-level cross country course. There are also 102 acres of woodlands, a picnic shelter and trails for outdoor recreation.

Head Coach Jared Luteran Head Coach Jared Luteran Allegheny head coach Jared Luteran enters his 9th season at the College, and has taken the Gator men’s and women’s tennis programs to new heights over the past decade. This past season, his women’s team ended the season with their first-ever ITA regional ranking as they posted a 13-win season en route finishing third in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) tournament, the program’s highest finish since the 1998-99 season. The success on the court garnered the women a single year-best five All-NCAC honors. Highlighting the men’s season was the emergence of rookie Patrick Cole, who became the Gators’ No.1 singles player in the spring, and his success at the top flight earned him a pair of NCAC Player of the Week honors, All-NCAC First Team Singles inclusion, selection as the NCAC Newcomer of the Year, and selection in the central ranking top 25. In 2006-07, Luteran was named the NCAC men’s co-coach of the year after the Gators finished third in the NCAC Tournament, the squad’s highest finish since the 1994-95 season. It was the first time a tennis coach at Allegheny received the top leagues’ coaching award.

Previous Head Coach of West Virginia Wesleyan. Two-time WVIAC Coach of the Year 2007 NCAC Co-Coach of the Year Winner of three conference titles as a player at WVWC (2 doubles, 1 single)
Luteran wasted no time in making an impact at the college. In his first season as the Gator head coach in 2002, Luteran led the men’s team to 11 wins, and an improbable upset of topseed Denison University in the opening round of the NCAC Tournament—the first time in the conference’s history a No. 4 seed beat a No. 1. Allegheny wound up fourth in the league that season, followed by a fifth-place finish in 2005, a fourth-place finish in 2006, and a third-place finish in 2007. Luteran’s squads excel in the classroom as well as they do on the court. During his tenure at Allegheny, he has coached 30 individuals (12 men and 18 women) that have received ITA All-Academic recognition including six men and eight women that received the honor multiple times. Three different men made the prestigious academic team all four years on campus. Additionally, the women’s program was declared an All-Academic Team by the ITA in 2006 and 2010. A certified teaching professional for over 18 years, Luteran served as the head men’s tennis coach for four seasons at his alma mater, West Virginia Wesleyan College. In his first season with the Bobcats, he led the team to the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title for the first time in 19 years. Overall, he guided the squad to a record of 40-15, including two undefeated seasons and a top-40 ranking in NCAA Division II. Luteran was twice honored as the coach of the year in the WVIAC, and he led Wesleyan to the National Tournament for the first time in school history in his time at WVWC.
He also coached the women’s tennis team at WVWC for one year, leading the Bobcats to an 11-5 mark and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament. Luteran trained as a player and as a coach under the guidance of Carlos Goffi, former coach of John and Patrick McEnroe, and author of Tournament Tough. Luteran, who graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan in 1998 with a degree in public relations, won three conference titles with the Bobcat tennis team, two in doubles and one as a singles player. He also served as the team captain as a senior. In addition to coaching, he has served on the NCAA and ITA National Ranking committees and awards committees, as well as leading physical education and outdoor adventure classes. A proponent of community service, he has also helped the men’s and women’s squads rack up over 2,000 hours of community service over the past nine years. Luteran currently resides in Meadville with his wife Emily, who is also an assistant with the Gator tennis teams, and their two children, son Lucas and daughter Ava.

Season Preview
T
he 2010-11 season was a successful one for both the Allegheny men’s and women’s tennis squads, as both would find themselves in the semi-finals of the North Coast Athletic Conference tournament. They will each look to ride that momentum into the 2011-12 season, as both teams look poised to make noise in the NCAC. The men had a fantastic campaign in 2010-11, going 12-6 overall, 2-1 in the NCAC, with two of their losses coming against nationally ranked Carnegie Mellon and Kenyon. The Gators were led by freshman phenom Patrick Cole, who compiled an 18-4 singles record and 13-6 doubles record in his first season at Allegheny. For his efforts, Cole was named to the All-NCAC first team; selected NCAC newcomer of the year; named an ITA scholar athlete; and was finished the season ranked 22 in the central region. Joining Cole as an AllNCAC selection was
Deb Landau (‘13)
Jacob Allmaras (’11) and junior Mike Provenzano who were selected to the honorable mention teams. Allmaras accumulated a 12-8 record in singles play and 13-7 record in doubles, as he and Cole would partner up for a majority of the season. Provenzano went 6-5 in singles competition, and 3-8 in doubles play. Sophomores Frank Mosconi and Charlie Murphy return to join Cole and Provenzano to form a solid core of experience for the
2011-12 Allegheny Tennis
Gators who see the addition of five freshmen to the squad. “We’re excited,” said head coach Jared Luteran about the start of the 2011-12 season. “It will be interesting to see where the new players fall into place. We have a few guys coming in that I think are going to jump right into the lineup.” On the women’s side, Allegheny returns a solid group of players in Janna Dickerson, Deborah Landau, Elyse Schmitt, and Carolyn Shetter who combined for a singles record of 45-32 in 2010-11. “Carolyn [Shetter] played really well over the summer,” said coach Lueran. “She made some changes to her service motion, which I think is going to help her. She is striking the ball very well, but the big key is just tryPatrick Cole (‘14) ing to stay healthy, especially on the women’s side.” Also taking on more of a role will be sophomore Laura Steele, who looks poised to take one of the top spots in both singles and doubles competition for the Gators. “Our women’s roster is all returners,” said Luteran. “Youth is definitely not an issue this year.” The season is once again full with some of the best competition in the nation on both the men’s and women’s sides. Early in the season both the men and women will play division II Mercyhurst at home, and then travel to take on division I foe Robert Morris. Additionally, the women will face off against Carleton, Denison, Washingon and Lee, and California University of Pennsylvania (D-II); all of which were ranked nationally in 2010-11. The men will once again take on conference rival Kenyon, who finished last season ranked number seven in the country. “Our schedule is always tough,” said Luteran about the difficult 2010-11 schedule. “Our conference is one of the toughest in the country, so we’re always going to play tough teams in our conference. The teams, on both the men’s and women’s side, at the top of our conference are usually one of the top in the country.” www.alleghenysports.com 15

Founded in 1983, the North Coast Athletic Conference is dedicated to fostering a complementary relationship between intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Consisting of 10 academically selective colleges and universities in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania -- Allegheny College, Denison University, DePauw University, Hiram College, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College, Wittenberg University and The College of Wooster -- the NCAC believes that high-level athletic programs need not be sacrificed in order to meet rigid academic standards. Significantly, all 10 NCAC institutions have been granted chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, the preeminent honor society for colleges and universities. Only 276 of the more than 3,000 four-year institutions in the United States have been so honored. A member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division III, the NCAC features championship competition in 22 sports ‹ 11 for men and 11 for women. The 11 women’s sports are the most offered by any Division III conference, and the equality in number and emphasis between men’s and women’s athletics is just one of the elements that sets the North Coast apart. The goals of the conference express the best aspirations of American amateur athletics. The NCAC brings together a group of institutions which share a common allegiance to academic quality and to the conduct of athletics so as to support the educational purpose. Intercollegiate athletics can and should complement academic life, rather than compete with it, and sports should enhance the experience of students during their college years. This type of academic and athletic commitment has been led by the 10 school presidents, who have taken an active role in the governance of the conference. Thirty-eight teams from 21 North Coast sports were represented in NCAA post-season competition during the 2008-09 academic year. The NCAC added two more NCAA Division III swimming championships as Kenyon claimed the men’s and women’s titles. The conference has accumulated 60 national championships since its inception in 1984-85. In the past academic year, 133 NCAA All-America or ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America certificates were distributed to student-athletes from North Coast schools. The NCAC’s commitment to equity, its broad base of athletic programs, and an unwavering insistence on excellence in academics has served as a model for conferences throughout the country. The North Coast has shown not only that these ideals can coexist, but that they can flourish. The NCAC continues as a pace-setter in the 21st century.
