2012 Season Preview
GEORGIA AMONG THE FAVORITES FOR 2012 TITLE
Georgia looks to culminate the 2012 season by hoisting a trophy in front of its home crowd as the Bulldogs will once again serve as the host of the NCAA Championships. The Bulldogs return a majority of the 2011 team that reached the quarterfinals at the NCAAs and finished with a No. 8 national ranking. Senior All-Americans Chelsey Gullickson and Nadja Gilchrist direct a squad that features one junior, five sophomores and one freshman. Gullickson captured the 2010 NCAA singles title in Athens and now takes aim at being a part of the latest Bulldog championship team. At times last year, Georgia’s lineup was comprised mostly of freshmen. After garnering a year of experience, the sophomore class is poised to make an evener stronger contribution in 2012, according to head coach Jeff Wallace. Kate Fuller teamed up with Gullickson in doubles to earn All-America honors last season going 17-6. They reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship and finished with a No. 8 ranking. Maho Kowase led the team with a 31-11 record as a freshman and was tabbed first team All-Southeastern Conference. Fuller and Lilly Kimbell made the 2011 All-SEC Second team. Kimbell went 26-10 in singles (10-1 in SEC) while Fuller was 18-10 (8-2 in SEC). Meanwhile, Alina Jerjomina (146) and Rachael Hart (4-1) along with Kelli Jordan (1-1) look to provide depth in the lineup once again this year. Lauren Herring rounds out the 2012 edition of the Bulldogs. A native of Greenville, N.C., she ranks among the na-
tion’s top newcomers according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Herring is ranked seventh in the Newcomer/Freshmen rankings. Also, she checks in at No. 20 overall in doubles with Fuller. The four Bulldogs in the preseason ITA singles rankings include Gullickson (No. 9), Gilchrist (No. 43), Kowase (No. 56) and Kimbell (No. 123). Gullickson and Gilchrist, who formed an All-America tandem in 2009 and 2010, will play again together in 2012. They are ranked No. 15. In 2010, they reached the semifinals of the NCAA Championships. 2011 Fall Review Georgia’s projected lineup went 55-20 in singles and 25-9 in doubles during fall tournament action, good for a winning percentage around 73 percent. “I thought we had an outstanding fall that featured a lot of tennis, playing close to 100 matches in singles (60-36 overall) and 51 in doubles (38-13 overall),” said Wallace. “The idea is to get out there in the fall and compete and get better each day. I am excited about how we performed because this team is more experienced and ready to build on what they did last year. After reaching the NCAA quarterfinals last year, they want to go much further. We’ve got the ability to have a special year, and it’s an honor to playing host to the NCAA tournament again.” Georgia’s fall highlights included: l Gullickson won the ITA Southeast Regional in Gainesville, Fla.

Head Coach Jeff Wallace
JEFF
WALLACE Head Coach 27th Season
GEORGIA SUCCESS UNDER WALLACE As the nation’s winningest active women’s tennis coach, Jeff Wallace has built the Georgia Bulldogs in to one of the elite college programs that both wins and plays host to NCAA Championships. The 2012 season marks his 27th year with the Bulldogs, and the NCAA Championships will be in Athens again. In 2009 following another memorable campaign when Georgia advanced to its 10th NCAA Final Four, Wallace became the first person to ever be named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Coach of the Year four times. The 2010 season featured sophomore Chelsey Gullickson winning the NCAA singles title at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. In 2011, the Bulldogs finished the year ranked No. 8 after going 19-5.
Proven Winner
During his tenure, Wallace’s squads have claimed two NCAA championships, three USTA/ITA National Team Indoor titles and seven Southeastern Conference crowns. A four-time National Coach of the Year recipient and four-time SEC Coach of the Year, Wallace’s career record is 559-141. His .799 winning percentage is the best among active Division I coaches with a minimum of 500 victories. Wallace’s teams are the picture of consistency. With the 2011 NCAA bid, Georgia has appeared in 25 straight NCAA Tournaments and has advanced to the “Final Four” 10 times. Only once during his time as coach of the Bulldogs has the team missed the NCAA Tournament, and that was his first year back in 1986.
Developing Talent
His record for developing players and having them maximize their potential has been evident throughout his tenure. For example, Agata Cioroch arrived from Poland

2012 Georgia Women’s Tennis
1994 and 2000 NCAA Team Championships 1994, 1995 and 2002 USTA/ITA Indoor Team Titles Bulldogs have won Eight Grand Slam Titles Two HONDA Award winners for Tennis One College Tennis Player of the Year Three National Senior-of-the-Year selections 27 Bulldog All-Americans honored 86 times 46 Bulldogs on the SEC Academic Honor Roll 80 times 38 Bulldogs selected to the All-SEC First Team 82 times
in 2001 and played No. 5 for the Bulldogs as a freshman. Two years later, she became Georgia’s top talent and in 2004 was the No. 1-ranked player in college tennis for much of the season. Cioroch concluded her career as a five-time All-American with two grand slam singles titles. Strong doubles teams are a key component for a successful college tennis team. There have been six Bulldog tandems under Wallace to finish the season ranked No. 1. Georgia tennis has thrived under Wallace. While the depth of talent can vary each season, the results remain consistent. This was no more evident than in 2002. Despite having only one player earn All-America honors, Georgia went undefeated during the regular season, won the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor title, the SEC championship and advanced to the NCAA “Final Four.” The 2002 squad finished with a 26-2 record and final national ranking of No. 3. Georgia went 13-0 at home and extended its home winning streak to 50 straight. In 2009, two of Georgia’s top players were freshmen: Chelsey Gullickson and Nadja Gilchrist, and by the end of the year they had earned All-America honors. Gullickson was named the ITA National Rookie of the Year, advanced to the NCAA Singles semifinals and tied a school record with 69 combined wins. Gullickson and Gilchrist became the first freshmen in school history to play No. 1 doubles in the lineup. In 2010, the pair earned All-America honors again and Gullickson became the second Bulldog to win an NCAA singles title in Athens under Wallace and the third overall in the history of the program.
Success in Wallace Era
In 22 of the past 26 seasons, Georgia has finished with a top 10 national ranking including No. 1 in 1994 and 2000. In the Wallace era, seven Bulldogs have won grand slam titles, two have won the Honda-Broderick Award/tennis, 27 Bulldogs have earned All-America honors 86 times, and 46 different Bulldogs have been listed on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
Playing/Coaching Career
A 1985 graduate of the University of Georgia, Wallace capped his playing career under legendary Bulldog head coach Dan Magill in 1984 after winning the SEC singles title at the No. 6 spot. The very next season, his first as coach of the Bulldogs, Wallace led a struggling team up the path of respectability by posting a 20-9 mark and landing a spot in the final Volvo Tennis/ITCA Top 25 poll. In 1987, just two years removed from a losing record, Georgia advanced to the national championship match. Although they didn’t win it that year, the Bulldogs would have their day.

1994 NCAA National Champions
The 1994 season ranks as one of the most dominant ever in women’s tennis history. It found Georgia on the champion’s pedestal in every major team tournament possible: NCAA Champions, USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Champions, and SEC regular season and tournament champions. Top that all off with a 27-2 overall record including a perfect 14-0 SEC mark and a season sweep of arch-rival Florida and it’s easy to see why Wallace was named coach of the year.

GEORGIA played for the 1987 NCAA Championship in its first year in the tournament. GEORGIA played host to the NCAA Championships in 1994, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2010. In 2012, the NCAA Championships will return to the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. GEORGIA has served as an NCAA first/second round site 10 times since 1999, owning a perfect record of 20-0. Georgia did not play host to the early rounds in 2003 and 2006. BULLDOGS THAT CAME CLOSE TO FINISHING AT THE TOP In 1992, Shannan McCarthy was the runner-up to Florida’s Lisa Raymond. In 1994, the All-America tandem of Lettiere and Michelle Anderson was the nation’s top-ranked doubles team and top seed at the 1994 NCAAs, but a foot injury sidelined Anderson. Consequently, the duo was forced to withdraw from the tournament, but they had accumulated enough big wins to remain No. 1 in the final rankings. In 1998, Georgia’s top-ranked and top-seeded doubles tandem of Vanessa Castellano and Marissa Catlin were forced to withdraw when Catlin contracted mononucleosis a week before the championships. That duo finished the season ranked third. In 1999, the All-American duo of Catlin and Castellano won two Grand Slam titles (Clay and Indoor) and reached the finals in the other two (All-American and NCAAs). They were ranked No. 1 the entire regular season and at season’s end. In 2000, the tandem of Catlin and 2009 BULLDOGS: NCAA FINAL FOUR Lori Grey clinched the NCAA team title and then a few days later advanced to the doubles final. They also finished the season ranked No. 1. Grey and Agata Cioroch became the fifth Georgia duo to end the season ranked first in the nation in 2003. They reached the 2003 NCAA quarterfinals in doubles while Cioroch made it to the semifinals of the singles. In 2005, Shadisha Robinson and Caroline Basu gave the Bulldogs their sixth duo to end the season at No. 1 in the ITA rankings as the pair went a school record 28-4.

Endowments ENDOWMENTS ENSURE FUTURE OF ATHLETICS
The Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program was instituted to allow supporters of
the University of Georgia Athletic Association to invest in the educational opportunities of UGA student-athletes. The program is vital to the future of Georgia Athletics by providing the long-term solution of keeping pace with escalating expenses. A gift to establish a scholarship provides income towards funding a scholarship each year and permanently memorializes the donor or any individual whose honor the scholarship is named. A full scholarship is endowed through a gift of $150,000.
There are four women’s tennis scholarship endowments including one established
by the UGAAA in honor of the 2000 team which won both the NCAA and SEC titles. For more information about the Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program or other giving opportunities, please contact the UGAA Development office at (877) 423-2947. Leighton Ballew Scholarship Endowment Lilly Kimbell is the 2011-12 recipient of the Leighton Ballew tennis scholarship. It is awarded annually to an international student-athlete who has demonstrated commitment to the University in an outstanding manner, both in the classroom and on the court. If no international student-athlete exists, selection of a student-athlete recipient is based on the aforementioned criteria. The late Mr. Ballew was a UGA faculty member for 40 years and founded the drama department.
