Scholl, Hurrion Ranked 67th in Latest ITA Doubles Poll
April 10, 2018 | Men's Tennis
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Maximilian Scholl and Millen Hurrion, who have teamed together at No. 1 doubles for the majority of the 2017-18 season, entered the Oracle/ITA Division I Men's Doubles poll ranked 67th today.
Â
Scholl, a junior from Stuttgart, Germany, and Hurrion, a freshman from Weymouth, England, hold an 11-2 overall record this year and are 8-2 in the spring season. The pair is currently riding a three-game winning streak and most recently defeated the then 38th-ranked pairing of Henry Patten and Olly Cull of UNC Asheville.
Â
In the fall, Scholl and Hurrion won the Charlotte A draw by going 3-0 in the finals and defeating teams from Wofford, Charlotte and Vanderbilt.
Â
"I knew all along they could be a special pairing but held off for a little while because I needed to spread them out to help the team," said head coach Mike Griffith. "However, I quickly learned the best way they could help us was to play in the No.1 position together, and they have been on a roll since. The beauty about these two guys is they will play the whole year together next year and get a chance to see just how far they can go. I'm looking forward to seeing them play at the conference tournament and continuing the momentum they have going."
Â
To date, the Big South Conference has had four different players ranked in the International Tennis Association Rankings and three separate doubles teams that have earned a ranking.
