Gaggiofatto, Ayllon Prado Prepare to Compete in ITA Cup

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Two Greyhounds are set to represent the UIndy men's tennis program in the singles draw of the ITA Cup tomorrow, Oct 16, in Rome, Ga. 

Formerly known as the Small College Nationals, the ITA Cup is considered the marquee individual event for Division II tennis. The competition pools each Regional Champion into the draw of 16, with the additional slots filled by an At-Large selection. 

Asier Ayllon Prado received an automatic bid to one of the most storied events amongst the ranks of Division II after winning the singles draw at Midwest Regional Championship. 

Tadeo Gaggiofatto, the runner-up of the Midwest Regional Championship, earned an at-large bid after defeating five seeded opponents en route to his championship run. 

Ayllon Prado opens the tournament against fourth-seeded Kelly Giese of Lubbock Christian at 9 AM in the top half of the bracket, while Gaggiofatto prepares for a 9 AM battle with Midwestern State's Germano Setti in the bottom half. 

Winners of their first round match will continue in the main draw until a national champion is crowned within that draw. Each player is guaranteed at least three matches while at the ITA Cup with the back draw feeding into a compass draw.
