NEC Men's Tennis Player of the Month
Parziale makes it back-to-back NEC Player of the Month honors after posting 4-2 records in both singles and doubles in October. He began the month with a pair of straight set flight “A” wins over opponents from UConn and Bentley at the Quinnipiac Invitational before play was suspended due to rain. In #1 flight dual match action, Parziale beat Boston U’s Chanon Varapongsittikul, 6-2, 1-6, 6-2, as the Bulldogs rolled past the Terriers, 6-1, avenging last spring’s 6-1 setback to their regional rival. In the main singles draw at the ITA Northeast Regional Invitational, the three-time All-NEC performer was granted a bye to the round of 64 where he knocked off Cornell’s Dylan Brown, 6-5, 6-4. In the third round, Parziale was edged by Harvard’s Brian Yeung, 6-3, 5-6, 6-2. He also teamed up with Ernesto Arguello to take down opponents from Army and NJIT and reach the round of 32 before falling to a tandem from Columbia. Parziale’s three wins (one singles, two doubles) marked the first-ever ITA Regional victories in program history. The Pinehurst, NC native and three-time All-NEC honoree has compiled an 11-3 singles record and 8-2 doubles mark this fall.
