Kaufman, Sircar Announce College Commitments
Two members of the North Allegheny boys’ tennis team have decided where they plan on playing at the next level.
Over the weekend, senior Evan Kaufman and junior Advaita Sircar announced they will be heading to Case Western Reserve and the Naval Academy, respectively, when their Tigers careers come to a close.
Kaufman helped guide the Tigers to consecutive WPIAL Team Final appearances as the team won its first championship in 15 years in 2024. Currently ranked #3 in the nation, CWRU has made the NCAA Division III Finals four of the last five years. The Spartans most recently won the national championship in 2023.
In two years as the Tigers’ #1 singles player, Sircar has amassed a remarkable dual-match record of 34-2-1. As a freshman, Sircar won the gold medal at the WPIAL Singles Championships and led the Tigers to their first WPIAL Team Championship in 15 years. As a sophomore, he took silver at both the WPIAL and PIAA Singles Championships and captained the team to a second-place finish in the WPIAL.
Sircar will bolster an already potent Midshipmen lineup of the prestigious Division I Naval Academy that consistently finishes at the top of the Patriot League.
