Hounds Make History with First Ever #1 Ranking
Alongside the top dog spot in the team rankings, the Zeuch, Destouet magic continues as Tom Zeuch and Edgar Destouet have been a force to be reckoned with all season, sitting at 14-0 overall with a 10-0 record in duals action. They currently are carrying a three straight win streak against ranked opposition, having beaten (then No. 8) Cedric Drenth and Daniel Gray of Wayne State twice and (then No. 14) Vincent Thiel and Ghali Mensour.
Of singles, Destouet is the biggest jump, going from unranked in the original Nov. 17 poll, to the No. 9 spot in the rankings. He has been electric all season in the No. 1 spot for the Hounds, going 8-1 with multiple wins over highly ranked foes. He was also the clincher in the quarterfinal and semifinal wins in the ITA Indoors tournament against Barry and Wayne State.
Zeuch is not far behind, arriving at No. 11, a soaring effort from the 28 he held before. He, like Destouet, is also 8-1 this spring, touting multiple wins over ranked opponents.
Louis Picaud is the second Hound to make his first appearance in the ITA rankings this season, sliding in at No. 46. Picaud, holding down the fort at the No. 4 slot, has been dominant. He sits at 6-1 on the season, having most recently dethroned the No. 10-ranked Dom Spicer of Wayne State.
