Gamble, Rodriguez Earn All-Ivy League Honors
May 03, 2018 | Men's Tennis
The Ivy League announced its All-Ivy League honors Thursday, and senior Luke Gamble and freshman Damian Rodriguez have earned second-team All-Ivy League doubles recognition.
The honor is Gamble's third, with second-team doubles recognition in 2016 and 2017.
Rodriguez went 14-9 in doubles, including 13-8 in dual matches, while Gamble went 20-11 to lead all Tigers in doubles wins on the season, including 15-8 in dual matches. Together, Gamble and Rodriguez were 13-8 overall, all in the dual-match season, with a 13-7 record at first. Gamble and Rodriguez had two wins over ITA-ranked opponents, including a 7-6(3) win over the seventh-ranked pair of Korey Lovett and Eero Vasa from UCF and a 6-3 win over 85th-ranked Kenny Tao and Logan Weber of Harvard.
Gamble and Rodriguez were ranked 89th nationally as a doubles pair by the ITA on the May 3 rankings.
