HEAD COACH DREW BARRETT Head Coach 5th Year at Davidson Illinois-Chicago ‘00 Record at Davidson: 39-52 Drew Barrett beings his fifth season at the helm of men’s tennis program entering the 2011 season. He has compiled a 39-52 overall record (13-25 SoCon) at Davidson in four years. A year ago, Davidson hit the 10-win mark under Barrett for the second time in the past three years, finishing with a 10-11 record. The Wildcats just missed out on being one of the top-four teams to advance to the Southern Conference Tournament, sporting a 4-6 record. The 2010 season was highlighted by two win streaks, first a four-match streak at the start of the season and then a five-match win streak in the middle that included league wins over Chattanooga, The Citadel and Georgia Southern. Five times Davidson blanked their opponents, 7-0. Barrett saw three of his players earn all-conference accolades, with senior Eric Noble and Joe Schafer earning a spot on the first team in doubles, sophomore Calum Gee getting second team honors at No. 5 singles and Schafer being named to the league's all-freshman team. The Wildcats went 7-17 overall and closed SoCon play at 2-8 during the 2009 campaign. They did open up the SoCon Tournament with a 4-3 win over Samford to advance to the quarterfinals for the eighth time in the past 10 years. The 2008 season saw him guide the ’Cats to their first winning season since the 2001 campaign with a mark of 14-8. The 14 wins were the most since the 1999 team went 15-9. Of those 14 wins, 10 of them came at the friendly confines of the Covington Tennis Courts where the team finished 10-2. Davidson also sported a 5-4 mark in SoCon play, while advancing to the quarterfinals of the SoCon tournament. In Barrett's first season, 2007, he led the Wildcats to an 8-16 overall mark his first season and a 2-7 SoCon record. He also guided the Wildcats into the quarterfinals of the SoCon tournament. Barrett came to Davidson by way of Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., where he was the head coach of the Bradley Braves men’s tennis team for five years. A former assistant coach at DePaul and Illinois-Chicago, Barrett inherited the Braves' program that had won just one conference match in 33 tries before his arrival and helped build them into a competitive team in the Missouri Valley Conference. In 2006, Barrett led the Braves to their first MVC Tournament semifinal birth since 1993 after garnering the program’s first main-draw victory in the conference meet in the dual-format era. The Braves finished with an overall record of 7-13 and 2-5 in the MVC. Two of his players became the school’s first MVC individual tournament champions, claiming the No. 1 doubles crown, while another secured his fourth all-conference recognition and earned his third MVC Scholar-Athlete honor. In all, seven players earned MVC Scholar-Athlete recognition in 2006. The 2003 and 2004 spring seasons were two of the most successful in Bradley’s history. Barrett guided the Braves to a 3-5 conference mark in the spring of 2003 and a ranking of 13th in the final Central Region ITA Poll. Then in the spring of 2004, the Braves went 10-10 overall with a 4-4 mark in MVC play. The four MVC victories were a school-record since round-robin regularseason play began in the mid-’90s. He coached an MVC Freshman of the Year in 2003 and had the MVC’s No. 1 singles

all-conference player in 2004. Barrett also coached a winner of Bradley’s highest athletic honor, the Watonga Award. During his five-year tenure at Bradley, the Braves finished higher in the regular-season standings than any team since 1989. Before his head coaching duties at Bradley, Barrett was an assistant coach at DePaul during the 1999-2000 campaign, where he helped guide the Blue Demons from a ranking of 125th nationally to as high as 48th in a season termed as the most successful in school history. The Blue Demons won 14 dual matches, with five of those wins coming over nationally-ranked teams. A graduate of the University of Illinois-Chicago, Barrett was involved in junior tennis in the Chicago suburbs for nearly a decade. Most recently, he served as Junior Tennis Coordinator for the Rush-Copley Healthplex, in Aurora and as Director of Junior Development at the South Barrington Tennis Club.

HALL OF FAME Men’s Tennis Hall of Famers Archibald W. Archer, Class of 1989-90 Roddey won more state tennis championships than any other male player in North Carolina. He was a junior champion at age 14 and later ranked No. 1 in the South for men. He played No. 1 at Davidson four years and won the Southern Conference singles and doubles championships in 1950. He's one of the original members of the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame. Roddey was undefeated in North Carolina tournaments (1947-52) and the first North Carolinian named to the Junior Davis Cup Team in 1948.
Archibald W. Archer, Class of 1990-91 Archer '47 is legendary for his accomplishments in tennis. As a junior he led the Wildcats to an 8-0 record. He played No. 1 and led Davidson to a 13-4 record as a senior. He's been prominent on the national tennis scene since he graduated, winning a number of championships in his age bracket.

Reflecting his support of academics, Davidson’s NCAA graduation rate of 91 percent was the highest in Division I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent and continues to be above 90 percent each year. “I firmly believe Davidson represents the ideal in college athletics and think the success of Davidson’s students, both in competition and after graduation proves that,” said Murphy. “It’s true that Davidson needs intercollegiate athletics, but intercollegiate athletics need Davidson even more.” Since Murphy’s return to Davidson, the Wildcats have pursued several major capital projects, including the creation of the highly-innovative $10 million Davidson Scholars Program, and major improvements have been completed in Belk Arena and at Smith Field at Richardson Stadium. The last five years have seen the construction of the Belk Artificial Surface Field for field hockey, the new Alumni Stadium for soccer, Wilson Baseball Park and batting cages and the football stadium expansion project, which included a Murphy and Tripp Merritt make a presentation to state-of-the-art weight room, a Davidson all-time leading passer Ryan Alexander. new press box and additional permanent seating.

He chaired the Division I-AA Governance Committee and formerly served on the NCAA Division I Business and Finance Cabinet, the Division I Governance Committee and the Division I Finance Committee. From 2002-04, Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors Association of the Southern Conference. He was part of Charlotte’s successful bid to host the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championships in 1999 and 2000 and also served as Tournament Director of the first and second-round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte. Murphy is a past member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and Past-President of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association. He was also a member of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture of recruiting in intercollegiate athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA’s Fiscal Responsibility Oversight Group.

PRESIDENT TOM ROSS Thomas W. Ross became Davidson’s 17th president Aug. 1, 2007, after three decades of leadership and public service in North Carolina. Ross graduated from Davidson in 1972. In the decade after, he graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina School of Law, he taught at the University’s School of Tom and Susan Ross.

In 1984, Governor Jim Hunt appointed Ross as Superior Court Judge, a position he held for 17 years. In his work adjudicating felony cases, Ross became familiar with a state justice system that suffered shortcomings from uneven sentencing and a burgeoning prison population. In 1990, the N.C. Chief Justice appointed him to chair a new Sentencing and Policy Advisory Committee. For two years the 23-member panel worked to create a structured sentencing system that was eventually accepted by the legislature and became a model for similar programs nationwide. For his efforts, Ross received the William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence from the National Center for State Courts. Chief Justice Rehnquist, now deceased, presented the award personally to Ross in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court. In 1999, North Carolina Chief Justice Burley Mitchell appointed Ross as director of the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts. After running the North Carolina Court System for nearly two years, Ross was invited by the trustees of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to become the Foundation’s executive director. His seven years at the Foundation involved him in statewide issues and policy, advocating for legislative reform and creating coalitions of nonprofit agencies to increase their influence in public affairs. Since becoming president of Davidson College in 2007, Ross has overseen an ambitious strategic assessment process, initiated campus-wide discussions of diversity and inclusivity, and announced the name of The Davidson Trust, the college’s historic financial aid program that replaced loans with grants in all financial aid packages. He established 200809 as the Year of Sustainability, and led the college’s Celebration of Honor and Integrity in 2009-10.

THE HISTORY OF THE wILDCAT On November 10, 1917, a small cohort of 22 football players traveled to Atlanta to represent Davidson College against Auburn, one of the most formidable teams in the South. The Plainsmen had massacred their first four opponents, outscoring teams, 141-6. According to one account, they were “big, quick, and undefeated” and heavily favored in the day’s matchup. Davidson was 2-4 and started a line averaging 20 pounds less. Not surprisingly, Auburn dominated the game, outgaining the “Red and Black” 240 yards to Davidson’s 91 yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulled together an offensive attack through the efforts of running back A.R. “Buck” Flowers and quarterback Henry Spann, delivering a “bewildering array of forward passes.” Davidson defeated one of the most powerful teams in
the South that day, 21-7, with scrappiness that captured the awe and respect of Atlanta sportswriters. They wrote of the “Wildcats” from Davidson College, whose small stature and ferocious style proved overwhelming. One account notes that Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal remarked of the Davidson team, “No other team ever put together in these United States of the same weight as Coach Fetzer’s team could ever get the verdict over the flock of wild men from North Carolina.” The Davidsonian picked up on the nickname, and it has been used ever since, replacing former, milder references such as “Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and “Preachers.” — revised and rewritten from an account in the Davidson College archives
