DAYTONA BEACH
DAYTONA BEACH - HOME OF THE EAGLES Daytona Beach is an ever-changing city of more than 61,000 residents. Located on the “Fun Coast” of Florida, the principal city of Volusia County, it has become one of the premier destination spots in the Southeast Region. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small, close-knit beach community. The city is a year-round family-friendly resort area, which hosts large groups of out-of-towners that descend upon the city for various events, most notably Speedweeks in early February, Bike Week in early March, Biketoberfest in October and Spring Break throughout March. Home to four colleges and universities, Daytona Beach boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives and celebrates the diversity of its community. Located less than an hour from Orlando and an hour and a half from Jacksonville, Daytona Beach residents have ample opportunity to experience both cities’ entertainment options, including Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, the Orlando Magic and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Daytona Beach continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events at the Ocean Center and Jackie Robinson Ballpark.

Daytona Beach boasts three major sports franchises in NASCAR, the LPGA and the USTA. The Daytona International Speedway is one of the most recognizable racetracks in the world and features the Daytona 500, Coke Zero 400 and numerous other auto racing events. The LPGA and USTA Florida both claim Daytona Beach as their organizational headquarters.

The beaches of Daytona rank sixth for beach destinations in the United States. Every year, millions of vacationers flock to the Atlantic Ocean and Daytona Beach to experience the sandy beaches in Volusia County. The hard packed sand allows motorized vehicles to drive right onto the beach.

The Sun Conference is heading into its 25th season of competition and continues to be one of the most successful intercollegiate athletic conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The institutions in the conference believe in strong educational commitment combined with balanced athletic competition. Originally formed in March 1990 as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (FIAC), The Sun Conference was established as a conference for small independent institutions within the NAIA. The name “Florida Sun Conference” was adopted in 1992. The league unveiled its new name, “The Sun Conference” on August 18, 2008 to be inclusive of member schools from Georgia and South Carolina. Under the guidance of commissioner Mark Pope, the league sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, and field and women’s volleyball. The Sun Conference has proven to be one of the top leagues in the NAIA with its teams consistently being recognized among the nation’s best. In 2013-14, the conference placed two teams in the top 25 in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Race with Embry-Riddle placing fourth and SCAD Savannah finishing in 24th place. Sun Conference teams are perennial contenders for national titles and 29 teams made national tournament appearances in 2013-14. SCAD finished as the national runner-up in women’s golf, while Embry-Riddle earned runner-up finishes in both men’s and women’s tennis. In addition to the tennis and golf national runner-up finishes, the league racked up numerous individual national titles. SCAD’s Theresa Schmaus won the ITA/NAIA national singles title while Embyr-Riddle’s Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang won the doubles crown. On the men’s side, ERAU completed the sweep as Deni Zmak took home the national singles title and teamed up with Simon Felix to win the doubles crown. In track and field, Embry-Riddle’s Reta Woodard won both in the indoor weight and outdoor hammer throw national titles. Women’s golf saw SCAD’s Alazne Urizar earn individual medalist honors, while Northwood’s Helen Lynskey was tabbed as the NSCAA/ NAIA Women’s Soccer Player of the Year. In 2013-14 alone, 84 student-athletes from the league were named NAIA All-Americans, while 167 TSC athletes were also named Daktronics-NAIA All-America Scholar-Athletes. The roots of The Sun Conference date back to 1990 when the league was originally formed as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Original membership consisted of Embry-Riddle, Flagler, Florida Memorial, Nova (now Nova Southeastern), Palm Beach Atlantic, St. Thomas, Webber International and Warner Southern. The league grew to nine members with the addition of Northwood in 1994. Between 2002 and 2006, Nova Southeastern, Palm Beach Atlantic and Flagler moved to NCAA II, but the league was able to recruit new members as Savannah College of Art and Design joined in 2004, followed by Edward Waters in 2006. With the addition of the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, Johnson and Wales, Southeastern, Ave Maria and Thomas (Ga.) within the last four years, along with Edward Waters’ move to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, the league membership now stands at 12 schools. Football begins its first season as a league-sponsored sport in the Fall of 2014 and that sport brings with it two associate members in Edward Waters and Point.

Embry-Riddle is a provisional member of the NCAA II Sunshine State Conference as the athletic department transitions from the NAIA to NCAA II. The Eagles began their membership with the SSC on July 1, 2014 and will be provisional members for three years (2014-17). The Eagles will play full SSC schedules in 2015-16 and 2016-17, but will not be eligible for postseason play.

Dave PASCHAL Head Coach 11th Season Southern Illinois Edwardsville (1993) Dave Paschal became Embry-Riddle University’s third head men’s tennis coach and second head women’s tennis coach in the history of the two storied programs in Aug. 2004. Paschal has been named The Sun Conference (formerly the Florida Sun Conference) Coach of the Year 10 times on the men’s side and five times for the women. He has also garnered the NAIA’s highest coaching honor in both men’s and women’s tennis as he was named the men’s National Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2013, and the women’s National Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2012. Paschal is the most successful coach in both men’s and women’s tennis at ERAU, having amassed over 100 wins with each program. His coaching record with the men’s team is 280-129, while the women have posted a 171-78 mark. In his 10 seasons with Embry-Riddle, Paschal’s teams have enjoyed a great deal of success. The men’s team has captured 10 consecutive conference crowns, while the women won the conference title in 2005, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 and finished second in the league in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2013. Prior to the regional realignment by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, both teams won consecutive regional titles the men in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and the women in 2005 and 2006. Both teams have earned berths in the NAIA National Tournament in Mobile, Ala. with men going in 10 consecutive seasons and the women going nine times. After reaching the semifinals of national tournament team competition for seven consecutive seasons, the Embry-Riddle men’s team reached the pinnacle of NAIA competition in 2013, taking home the NAIA national title. Playing in one of the most exciting championship matches in national tournament history, the Eagles downed Auburn Montgomery 5-4, to bring the team title back to Daytona Beach. In 2012, Paschal led the women to their best finish since the program’s inception. After going undefeated in league play, the Eagles won the conference tournament title and went into the national tournament as the No. 3 team in the country. That rating gave the Eagles a first-round bye after which they registered back-to-back shutouts to secure the program’s second semifinal berth. The Blue and Gold drew No. 2 Fresno Pacific in the semifinal round and earned a dramatic 5-3 win over the Lady Sunbirds to advance to the national championship match for the first time in program history. The 2014 women’s team swept through conference regular and tournament play with another undefeated league campaign and earned the No. 5 seed in the national tournament field. The Eagles upset defending national champion Auburn Montgomery and toppled top-seed Xavier (La.) to return to the title match where they lost a hard-

fought 5-4 decision to Georgia Gwinnett. Paschal has also coached Eagle student-athletes to nine individual national titles. The Eagles have won four USTA/ITA national doubles titles and seven men’s tennis players have been crowned national singles champions, including each of the last three seasons. Under Paschal’s guidance, the Eagles have garnered conference Men’s Player of the Year honors nine times and Player of the Year honors on the women’s side five times. In addition, 97 players have received either ITA or NAIA All-America recognition and each team has placed at least three student-athletes on their respective All-Conference rosters each of the last 10 seasons. Paschal’s coaching background includes stints as the head men’s tennis coach at NCAA Division I Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (1995-96) and as assistant men’s and women’s tennis coach at NCAA Division III power Washington College (Md.) (1994-95). Paschal also served as the head men’s tennis coach at Drake (Des Moines, Iowa) from 1996-2003 and held the women’s head coaching position from 1998-99. During his time with the Bulldogs, Paschal helped guide his squad to the finals of the Missouri Valley Conference championship four times (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001) and qualified for the ITA Region V team championships in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003. He coached 16 All-MVC honorees and his men’s squads garnered ITA National team rankings three times attaining their highest mark of 51st in the nation. In addition to the team’s on-court success, the 1993 Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville graduate also brings a coaching style and philosophy, which fosters academic success. He coached 20 Academic All-MVC selections and two Academic All-Americans during his eight-year tenure at Drake and since his arrival at ERAU, 102 individuals have garnered ITA Scholar Athlete, NAIA Scholar Athlete, ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America and FSC All-Academic honors, including Kristina Marova who was tabbed as the 2014 CoSIDA College Division At-Large Academic All-American of the Year. Both programs have received team recognition for outstanding work in the classroom from the NAIA and the ITA. The women’s team had a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 in 2009-10, while the men’s team had a 3.5 GPA. The women (2005) and men (2006, 2009) have also been recognized for carrying the highest GPA of any ERAU athletic team. In the off-season, Paschal directs the highly successful Embry-Riddle Tennis Camps, which provide instruction for aspiring young tennis players. Paschal, his wife Liz, and their sons Noah and Luke, reside in Daytona Beach.

2015 EMBRY-RIDDLE TENNIS
Chris WOLLETT Assistant Coach 1st Season North Florida (2003) Embry-Riddle Head Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach Dave Paschal announced the addition of Chris Wollett as an assistant coach to both programs in January 2015. Originally from Ocala, Fla., Wollett came to Embry-Riddle from the College of Charleston where he served as the assistant coach for the NCAA I men’s and women’s tennis programs last season. The 2014 Cougars men’s team achieved a No. 64 ITA national ranking during the season and notched wins against No. 57 Iowa, UC Riverside and Georgia State on the way to an 18-6 overall record. The women’s team was 18-8, earning wins against the University of Massachusetts and No. 65 Iowa. Both teams posted runner-up finishes in Colonial Athletic Association tournament play.
Prior to going to College of Charleston, Wollett was the head coach of the women’s tennis program at Western Carolina University from 2010-13 and before that, he was the Director of Tennis at the Country Club of Ocala in Ocala, Fla. Wollett played two seasons of collegiate tennis at the University of Mary Washington where he helped the Eagles to a national tournament appearance and a top-10 ranking in NCAA III in 2002. He then transferred to the University of North Florida where he earned his undergraduate degree in International Studies in 2003. Wollett expects to complete his Master of Science degree in Kinesiology from Georgia Southern in Aug. 2015.
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

2015 ERAU WOMEN’S TENNIS SEASON OUTLOOK Embry-Riddle Head Coach Dave Paschal capped his 10th season by leading his women’s tennis team on an improbable run to the 2014 NAIA National Championship title match. The 2013-14 edition of ERAU women’s tennis matched the program’s best ever finish on the national stage and heading into the 2015, the Eagles hope to close out their final season in The Sun Conference and the NAIA with similar success. “If anyone told me at the beginning of last year that we were going to beat the three-time defending champions, the No. 1 seed at nationals, and lose a close 5-4 match in the championship, I’m not sure I would have really believed it,” Paschal said. “But then the team progressed through the season and there were so many close matches that we won. There were matches where, I think if we had to play those teams 10 times, we might have only beaten them once, but we beat them; that was our time. I think this year’s team has to be the same way. They have to be a very gritty team; they have to learn to work very hard and to keep progressing throughout the season.” The 2015 campaign will mark the Eagles’ last season in The Sun Conference and the NAIA as the Embry-Riddle Athletics program will be transitioning to NCAA II beginning in the fall of 2015. “We want to be the team to beat in the conference, especially with it being our last year in the NAIA and in Sun Conference,” Paschal said. “We want to win that Sun Conference title, but we’ve got to work hard and learn to progress through each match because the Sun Conference is a tough conference.” The Eagles return three of the top six players from last season, including first team All-Americans Hui-I Huang and Anna Götz. Also back for the Blue and Gold is 2014 second team All-Conference pick Paula Ortiz Couder, along with Giovanna Tomiotto and Ana Gonzalez-Hoy, both of whom helped anchor the bottom half of the Eagle lineup up 2013. A two-time All-American Huang has been the Eagles’ No. 1 player since joining the team as a freshman and comes in as the 13th-ranked singles player in the ITA/ NAIA preseason poll. She was the ITA regional singles runner-up and teamed up with Ortiz Couder to capture the regional doubles crown. Huang and graduated letterwinner Kristina Marova went wire-to-wire as the top doubles team in the nation after winning the 2013 national doubles crown and Paschal is optimistic that the work ethic the junior has shown so far this year will help her have a solid season. “Christina is in a tough position just by the fact that she’s playing everyone’s best player day in and day out,” Paschal said. “She’s been playing here for two seasons and hopefully she’ll be more comfortable this year. If she keeps working the way she has been and keeps an even keel dealing with the highs and lows of playing at No. 1, I think she’s going to have a great year.” Ortiz Couder is back as the Eagles’ singles wins leader from a year ago.

2015 ERAU WOMEN’S TENNIS SEASON OUTLOOK winning matches against top NCAA II teams. So we feel comfortable with her moving up.” Götz, also a sophomore, is expected to return to the No. 2 spot in the singles lineup. As a freshman, she was 16-10 in singles and was the only Eagle with a perfect 7-0 record in conference play. A first team All-American a year ago, Paschal expects that Götz will also be able to provide leadership for the young squad. “Anna is what we call a ‘tough-out’”, Paschal noted. “If she’s plays the right game plan and she can play against anybody. Our goal for her is to make sure she starts the matches and finishes the matches with the right game plan.” Returning to the lineup after a one-year hiatus is Tomiotto, who is now in her junior campaign. A contributor to the Eagles’ quarterfinal run in 2013, she was 1314 in singles, playing the majority of her matches at the No. 4 spot in the lineup, and Paschal expects that she will be in the same position on this year’s team. “Giovanna has really gotten herself in a much better physical shape and is probably the most improved player on the team,” Paschal stated. “She’s moving so much better on the court and her confidence is way up because of that work. She’s going to be another one that we ask to step up this year and assume more of a leadership role. She leads a lot with her actions. She’s out-working everyone on the team and credit to her that she can see the results.” Another individual that Paschal noted has also made a marked improvement since her last full season of competition in 2012-13 is Gonzalez-Hoy. She was 3-3 in fall competition, advancing to the quarterfinal round of the USTA/ITA regional tournament. “Ana has also worked hard on her physical fitness,” Paschal said. “She’s moving better around the court and she may be our best ball striker on the team. If her footwork is there and she’s hitting the ball, she can play with anybody. I think this could be a very good year for her.” Back for her junior season is San Diego, Calif. native Meena Bennett. Described by Paschal as a “very good athlete”, she was 6-6 in singles as a sophomore playing at the No. 6 spot in the lineup. “Meena needs to find a little bit of consistency with her game,” Paschal observed. “I think she could be very valuable for our team competing in the lower part of the line-up and also in doubles.” Paschal has added two new faces to the lineup in freshmen Kathryn Bock and Jessica Lown. Bock hails from Winchester, Va. and is a player Paschal says “has the best serve on our team.” “Coming from up north, Kathryn is used to shorter points,” Paschal stated. “She can hit the ball hard from the baseline; she just needs to continue to work on point development strategies. She’s also going to help us a lot in doubles. Probably the best thing about her is she’s a feisty competitor and that’s something that is very valuable on the women’s side.”

“From where she started on day one to where she is now, Jessica has improved greatly,” Paschal said of Lown who picked up two wins in her first semester of collegiate tennis. Paschal projects that as she continues to get better, she will be competing for a spot in the lower part of the lineup.
SCHEDULE
A very challenging schedule awaits the young Eagle squad that begins conference play right away with a home match against Ave Maria to open the season on Feb. 1. The 18-match slate is littered with national championship contenders in both NAIA and NCAA II competition. In preparation for the transition to NCAA II, the Eagles will face five teams from the very competitive Sunshine State squad. All five teams are ranked among the NCAA II preseason top 10, including No. 1 Barry, No. 3 Saint Leo, No. 5 Lynn, No. 9 Rollins and No. 10 Florida Southern. In addition, five of the NAIA opponents on the schedule are listed in the NAIA Women’s Tennis Coaches Preseason Top 25, including Northwood (7), SCAD Savannah (8), Oklahoma Baptist (10), Cardinal Stritch (19) and Southeastern (22). After opening with Ave Maria, the Blue and Gold will take on three ranked NCAA II opponents in a row begin-
ning with No. 30 Flagler on Feb. 4, followed by Rollins (Feb. 10) and 2014 NCAA II national champion Barry (Feb. 13). The Eagles return to conference play with a road trip Southeastern on Feb. 19 and close out the two-match road trip against Saint Leo on Feb. 26. Taking full advantage of living in the Sunshine State, the Eagles’ next nine matches will be played at the Crotty Tennis Complex, the Eagles’ home court. The regular season will end with an April 4 road contest against SCAD, which will be the Eagles’ final tune-up before conference tournament play. The Crotty Tennis Complex will be the site of The Sun Conference tennis tournaments for the last time. The top six teams based on the league’s regular season standings, will qualify for tournament play, which takes place April 16-18. “I think there are three or four teams in league that could challenge for the conference title,” Paschal observed. “The teams are so close that it’s really going to come down to who has worked the hardest and who has the most confidence going into the conference tournament.” The Sun Conference tournament champion will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship, which will be held at the Mobile Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala. May 12-16.

2014 SEASON IN REVIEW Huang, Marova Win National Doubles Crown
Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang brought the ERAU women’s tennis program’s second national title back to Daytona Beach as the duo captured the 2014 ITA/ NAIA National doubles championship. The Eagles had to compete in a play-in game just to make it into the tournament field. A three-set win over conference foes St. Thomas bolstered the Eagles’ confidence and helped them to a three-set upset of the tournament’s third seed on Thursday. Faced with the daunting task of winning two matches in the same day for the national title, Marova and Huang easily dispatched the second-seeded Evangel pair of Amy Grossklag-Friz and Jenna Elliot 6-0, 6-1 in the semifinals. The Eagles’ next opponent was the Lindsey Wilson team of Jessica King and Alicia Rodriguez. Playing at what ERAU Head Dave Paschal termed “a very high level”, Huang and Marova won the opening set 6-3. In the second frame, they dropped the first two games to fall behind 0-2, but the resilient Embry-Riddle pair stormed back to take the next six games and win the national crown.
Conference Title Returns to Daytona Beach
The Embry-Riddle women rolled through their conference regular season slate, going undefeated in conference play at 7-0 on the way to the program’s fifth conference regular season crown. The top seed in the conference tournament, the Eagles blanked St. Thomas 5-0 in the semis and celebrated its third conference tournament title in four seasons after besting No. 3 seed SCAD Savannah (8-7) 5-1 in the tournament finale.
ERAU Steamrolls Favorites on the Way to National Runner-Up Finish
Seeded fifth in the 24-team tournament field, the Embry-Riddle women’s tennis team received a first-round bye and began its quest for a national title with a 5-0 win over Graceland to advance to the quarterfinals to face 2013 national champion Auburn Montgomery. The Eagles earned two doubles victories and won at the fourth, fifth and sixth spots to advance to the semifinals. ERAU’s final four foe was top-seed Xavier (La.). After the Eagles got wins at the first and third doubles spots. Paula Ortiz Couder notched the first singles win for ERAU and the senior duo of Kristina Marova and Paola Montero put their leadership on display, notching wins at the third
and fifth spots, respectively, to propel the Eagles to the title match for the second time in program history. The national title match pitted the Eagles against No. 2 seed Georgia Gwinnett. Each side earned a doubles point to tie the score at 1-1. At No. 1 doubles, topranked Kristina Marova and Hui-I Huang came away with a 9-8 (7-5) victory over No. 2 Valerie Podda and Helena Korompis, giving the Blue and Gold a 2-1 edge. In singles play, GGC took over the lead with wins at the top three positions, but the Eagles pulled level with victories at the fourth and sixth spots. All eyes then turned to the fifth court where Paola Montero and Ines Comstamanga were doing battle. Montero had an early first-set lead, but Comstamanga was able to rally to tie take the first set 7-6 (5). In the second set Comstamanga grabbed the early lead and never relinquished, scoring the clinching point for the Grizzlies, 6-2.
Four Named to NAIA All-America Roster
Just two days after the program finished as the national runner-up, members of the Embry-Riddle women’s tennis garnered individual recognition as four student-athletes were named to the NAIA All-America roster. Hui-I Huang and Anna Götz were named to the first team, while Kristina Marova and Eva Vilar garnered second team honors.

2015 ERAU MEN’S TENNIS SEASON OUTLOOK In each of the last 10 seasons, the Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team has made it to semifinals of the NAIA National Championship, including runner-up finishes in 2012 and 2014 and bringing home the national title in 2013. The 2015 season will be the Eagles’ last chance to compete for an NAIA national title as the Embry-Riddle Athletics program will be moving to NCAA II beginning in the fall of 2015. ERAU Head Coach Dave Paschal has seen his men’s program enjoy great success in the NAIA and would like to see his team close out its NAIA term on a high note. “Overall, I think this could be a very interesting year,” said Paschal. “We’re the favorites to win the conference and it would be great to go out having won the conference title 11 years in a row, but the teams in our league have added depth, so it’s going to be challenging for us this year. “We can’t worry about other teams. We have a tough enough schedule to prepare us for the national tournament. We just have to play match-by-match. I think the biggest thing for this team is how hard are they going to work this entire season and thus be prepared to fight for it the end.” The Eagles will be without four-year letterwinners Patrick Besch and Simon Felix, who between them won two doubles and one singles national title and together posted a runner-up finish in the doubles national championship in 2012. But the Eagles return a strong class that includes the reigning ITA/NAIA national singles and doubles champions and two first-team All-Americans. Junior Deni Zmak is one of the most decorated tennis players in ERAU history. In the 2014-15 season, he set program records in singles (32) and doubles (34) wins, and this season, he returns as the two-time defending national singles champion. In addition, Zmak became the only ERAU student-athlete to repeat as a national champion in doubles as he teamed up with Jaime Sanchez-Canamares Rios to win the 2014 ITA/NAIA and Super Bowl crowns. “Deni is one of those guys you feel like you can count on every single day, whether it’s a match or practice,” said Paschal. “He’s definitely the hardest worker I’ve ever had play for me with all the things he does outside of practice to keep himself in top physical shape. He believes he is going to win his match because he outworks every single guy he ever faces across the net. He is also a tremendous doubles player.” After winning team national titles at Fresno Pacific and Oklahoma Christian, Sanchez-Canamares is back for his second season with the Eagles. As a junior in 2014, he amassed a 12-7 record in singles and a 19-4 doubles mark. So far in his junior campaign, he has a USTA/ITA regional singles runner-up finish, as well as regional and national doubles titles to his credit, and he and Zmak will open the spring campaign as the topranked tandem in the nation. “Jaime wants to have a great senior year, so he is doing a lot of work on the side too,” Paschal observed “Sometimes seniors go in different ways and he’s going in the right way so he can go out with the best experience possible.

“Jaime has also become a tremendous doubles player. I remember when we competed against him when he played for Fresno Pacific or Oklahoma Christian, we weren’t afraid of him in doubles. Now he’s one of the best doubles players in the country, as evidenced by the national championship.” Also returning to the lineup are juniors Miguel Lopez Gomez and Juan Verberne, and sophomore Luke de
Caires. “I’m hoping this is his breakout year,” Paschal said of Lopez Gomez, who played at the fifth and sixth singles spots, as well as No. 3 doubles a year ago. A second team All-Conference honoree, Lopez Gomez was third on the team in singles wins with a 21-8 record and amassed 17 wins in doubles. “Miguel has talent and a good work ethic,” Paschal

2015 EMBRY-RIDDLE TENNIS
2015 ERAU MEN’S TENNIS SEASON OUTLOOK continued. “He has to put it all together with the mental and emotional side. He needs to free himself up. He can play with anybody in the country, including our top guys when he’s relaxed and plays free.” De Caires was Lopez Gomez’s doubles partner in 2014 and together the duo compiled a 14-9 doubles ledger. De Caires was one of only two players to go undefeated in conference play at 7-0, and he posted an 18-8 overall singles record, playing all of his matches in the bottom half of the lineup. “Luke has gotten himself into much better shape,” Paschal commented. “He’s working harder and he’s improved his doubles. He and Miguel had a great fall in doubles and we’re definitely expecting him to help us in doubles and to compete for one of those lower spots for singles.” Verberne saw limited action in 2014, competing in only five dual singles matches. He put together a 3-2 doubles ledger to go with his 2-3 singles tally in dual match play. “Juan is one of those guys who pushes himself to get better everyday and everyone on the team appreciates that,” said Paschal. “I think he’s going to compete for some of those lower spots and get some matches in. He’s another guy who the more free he plays and the more relaxed he is, the better he plays.” Paschal has added four newcomers to his squad, including junior transfer Fabian Zierlyn and freshmen Carlos Becke, Rodolfo Arreygue and Roberto Cuellar Rangel Zierlyn is a transfer from NCAA I Oral Roberts where he anchored the top spot for the Golden Eagles as a freshman. “Fabian had to sit out in the fall, but we got to see him play in one tournament as an independent and he really surprised us with his difference of match play versus his practice play. When he gets into matches, he turns into a different player. So, that was kind of exciting to see. I’m really looking forward to watching him play.” Becke (Hildesheim, Germany) was added to the lineup at the beginning of the spring semester. He gained experience playing on several futures tours in Spain, Thailand, Portugal and Germany and, at the time of his graduation, he was ranked No. 125 in singles in Spain. “Carlos is a very good player,” said Paschal. “He’s got a lot of experience and he has all the tools. We have high expectations for him, not only from his ability, but also from his personality. We think he’s going to have a huge impact on our program this year. “ Arreygue hails from Morelia, Mexico where he won the 16 and Under, and 21 and Under Mexican national titles and was consistently listed among the Top 16 in the Mexican junior national rankings. “Rodolfo had a tough fall because of an injury,” Paschal said. “He didn’t play all the matches because of it, but when he did play he just fought through because he’s such a competitor and that’s one thing I like about him. He’s totally focused on beating the guy on the other side of the net and not worried about his side too much. I think he is going to solidify the bottom part of our line-up and I look forward to him just battling through the year.”

Cuellar Rangel walked onto the team in the fall and is a player who Paschal notes will eventually compete for a spot in the lower part of the lineup as he works at refining his game. “Roberto’s tennis isn’t the prettiest, but it’s effective,” Paschal commented. “He fights hard, he battles, and he puts a million balls in play. He can really cause some trouble for some guys. He may not see a lot of match play this year, but I think as he progresses, as he gets a little faster, a little stronger, he can challenge for a spot on the lower part of the line-up.”
SCHEDULE
The Eagles’ 2015 slate is reflective of the preparation to transition to NCAA II with games against six opponents from a very strong Sunshine State Conference that has four teams listed in the NCAA II Top 25 rankings. The Eagles will immediately begin defense of their conference regular season title when they open the 2015 campaign on Feb. 1 by hosting Ave Maria at the Crotty Tennis Complex. After facing off against two NCAA II top-40 opponents in Flagler (30) and Florida Southern (34), the Eagles will play their second conference contest of the year against Southeastern, a team receiving votes in the NAIA Coaches’ poll. The Eagles will face one of their toughest challenges of the season on Feb. 21 when they host NCAA II No. 3
Barry at the Crotty Tennis Complex. After a road trip to Saint Leo on Feb. 26 to take on the 14th-ranked Lions, the Blue and Gold will play its next 11 matches at home, including fixtures against NAIA No. 14 Northwood (March 6), NCAA II No. 7 Lynn (March 14) and NAIA No. 17 Oklahoma Baptist (March 18). The Eagles’ final preparations for conference tournament play will include a road match at 19th-ranked SCAD Savannah (April 4) and a home contest against NCAA II No. 9 Rollins (April 9). “I’ve tried to make our schedule to where we have some matches that help build our confidence at the beginning of the year before we go into some tough NCAA Division II matches,” Paschal said. “The Sunshine State Conference is the best Division II conference in the country and we’re playing almost every team in that league, in addition to some NCAA Division I schools and several nationally ranked NAIA schools. I think our schedule is a really good schedule and I think it will prepare us for the conference tournament, as well as, the national tournament.” The Crotty Tennis Complex will be the site of The Sun Conference tennis tournaments for the last time in 2015. The top six teams based on the league’s regular season standings, will qualify for tournament play, which takes place April 16-18. The Sun Conference tournament champion will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship, which will be held at the Mobile Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala. May 12-16.

2014 SEASON IN REVIEW Zmak, Felix Sweep ITA Regional, National Titles
Simon Felix and Deni Zmak became the latest in a long list of ERAU tennis standouts to win USTA/ITA Regional titles. In singles play, Zmak dropped just 10 games in five matches to claim the regional singles crown. He teamed up with Felix in doubles to capture the doubles title and advance to the National Small College Championships. Zmak was the No. 1 seed in the ITA/NAIA singles tournament field and won three matches in a row to become the fourth ERAU men’s player to win a national title. Felix and Zmak were seeded fourth, and after upsetting top-seeded Bogajo and Charters from Lindsey Wilson, the ERAU pair rolled to the ITA/NAIA national doubles championship. After dominating NAIA play, Felix and Zmak continued their run through the Small College National Championship field. Together, they bested the other divisional winners to win the ITA Super Bowl doubles title, and Zmak did the same to wrap up the tournament as the singles Super Bowl champion.
ERAU Men Impress at NCAA I Indoor Nationals
As Super Bowl champions, Deni Zmak and Simon Felix earned a berth in the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, a tournament in which they were the only non-NCAA I competitors. They immediately made their presence known as they teamed up to upset third-seeded UCLA team of Marcos Giron and Mckenzie Macdonald. Zmak continued to make those in the NCAA I ranks stand up and take notice as he took two of the top players in Division I tennis, including sixth-ranked Giron, to three sets.
Eagles Win 10th Conference Title
Embry-Riddle continued its dominance in Sun Conference play, winning its 10th straight conference regular season title. The Eagles were a perfect 7-0 in the league in 2014, extending their unbeaten streak in conference play to 58-0, a record that dates back to 2005. The top seed in the conference tournament, the Eagles played two matches in the same day and dispatched Northwood 5-1 and Webber International to wrap up their sixth straight conference tournament crown.
ERAU Ends Season as National Runner-Up
For the fourth straight year, ERAU ended its season in the title match of the NAIA National Championship. The No. 1 seed Eagles ousted Xavier (La.), Coastal Georgia and
Vanguard on the way to a showdown against No. 2 seed Georgia Gwinnett. The Grizzlies brought a perfect 21-0 record into the title match and at the end of the contest, that record remained unblemished as the earned two doubles wins and got wins at the second, third and fifth singles spots to win the national title.

The 185-acre Daytona Beach campus, located next to Daytona Beach International Airport, has 4,600 undergraduate and 610 graduate students. Excellent flying weather and the resort communities surrounding the Daytona Beach campus offer students an outstanding environment in which to study, fly and enjoy numerous recreational and cultural activities. The campus is within an hour’s drive of the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and within easy reach of Orlando and Jacksonville, which offer a menu of arts, culture, theme parks, shopping and professional sports.
History
On Dec. 17, 1925, 22 years after the historic flight of the Wright Flyer, barnstormer John Paul Riddle and entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry founded the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. The following spring the company opened the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University began with a simple plan to train airplane pilots in a thorough, efficient manner and to cash in on a booming post-World War I interest in flying. Today, Embry-Riddle leads the world in aviation and aerospace higher education. After a period of decline in the 1930s, Embry-Riddle sprang to life again in Miami, Fla., as World War II erupted in Europe and the demand for aviators and mechanics surged. Allied nations sent more than 25,000 young men to Embry-Riddle’s Florida centers to become pilots and aviation technicians. During the Korean War the U.S. Air Force contracted with Embry-Riddle to train airmen in the fundamentals of airplane maintenance. In the following decades, Embry-Riddle expanded its international outreach and strengthened its academic programs. In 1965, Embry-Riddle consolidated its flight training, ground school and technical training programs into one location. With dollars and trucks borrowed from civic leaders, the move to Daytona Beach signaled the rebirth of Embry-Riddle as an accredited university and the start of its odyssey to worldclass status.
Academics
Embry-Riddle is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at the associate, bachelor and master levels, as well as doctoral degrees in five areas of study. At many public universities, freshmen and sophomores are taught by graduate assistants, but not so at Embry-Riddle. Classes, which average 25 students, are taught by faculty who are accessible to students in class, during office hours and through university-wide voice mail and e-mail.

Embry-Riddle has three campuses: - traditional, residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Fla., and Prescott, Ariz., and the Worldwide Campus provides educational opportunities to working adults at more than 150 locations in the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada and the Middle East.

CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER respect • Responsibility • Integrity • Sportsmanship • servant Leadership The Champions of Character initiative was established by the NAIA to help promote the “right thing” by those affiliated with sports both inside and outside the sports setting. In so doing, the organization looks to develop exemplary character and sportsmanship in NAIA competition. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship. This program educates and create awareness of the positive character-building traits afforded by sports and returns integrity to competition at the collegiate and youth levels while impacting all of society.
