2018 Season Preview
GEORGIA RETOOLED FOR CHAMPIONSHIP RUN The college tennis season consists of three segments starting with fall individual tournaments, then the indoor portion for the team followed by the outdoor team season. During the fall, the Bulldogs fine-tune their game in preparation for the team season. With the latest fall slate complete, head coach Jeff Wallace reflected on how his latest team is taking form as he enters his 33rd season directing the Bulldogs. Under his steady leadership, the Georgia program has advanced to 31 consecutive NCAA Tournaments and finished nationally ranked in the top 25 throughout his tenure including in the top 10 in 28 seasons. During the 2017 fall season, Georgia’s cumulative singles record was 79-33 and doubles was 31-19. Do you look at those numbers or rather how each Bulldog performed? “Mostly just how each Bulldog performed. You just want each player in the fall to pick up as many wins as they can, beat the players that they need to be beating, try to grow their game as much as possible and even knock off some players to help them move up in rankings. The main part is accumlating results and getting ready for the dual match season. We learn a lot about things that they need to work on. The competition is great, it gives a good guage on where we need to improve.” Was there any aspect of the game that you tried to key on this fall? “We spent so much time on doubles because we have so many new players and different combinations. I think we’ve found some good ones. We have the ITA Kickoff Weekend coming up so it will be fun to see these different teams playing with each other. We will have a freshman on pretty much every court which is exciting. We are a super young team. In singles though, we have to realize that we have a lot of great players and that is the mark of a really good team. Our depth this season should be really good. We shouldn’t have many holes anywhere. It is important for us, because we’ve had a few little injuries in the past so it is important to take care of ourselves and be healthy as the season progresses.” The four freshmen Bulldogs which made up the nation’s top recruiting class combined for 44-18 in fall singles. Are you excited about their results? “It is obviously a great, great group. But the bottom line is that they are 0-0 in my mind, because we haven’t played a dual match yet. Although we have the singles and doubles results and a lot of good wins, we all know this is about the team and the dual matches in front of us. They is what will define the season and what will show in the record books. I know they are really excited to go out there and play for the team and see what they can do. I think they are going to bring a lot to the program in the next few years.

This year’s team features three seniors in Kennedy Shaffer, Laura Patterson and Mariana Gould. How will their leadership help on and off the court? “The leadership is really key. That is something that will be really important when you have six players that are underclassman. The three seniors are going to contribute a lot on the court, no doubt, but where they can really make a difference and really make this a special year for themselves and the program is to provide the type of leadership that is going to be neccessary and required for us to have the ultimate success.”

Head Coach Jeff Wallace
Jeff WaLlace Head Coach | 33rd Year Georgia ‘85 Career: 696-173 (.801)
As the nation’s winningest active women’s tennis coach, Jeff Wallace has built the Georgia Bulldogs into one of the elite college programs. The 2018 season will mark his 33rd year with the Bulldogs. The 2017 season marked another successful year for the Bulldogs highlighted by a No. 6 ITA final ranking and 19-6 mark. Georgia made its 31st consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament and four Bulldogs earned five All-America honors. In 2016, Georgia finished with a No. 7 ITA final ranking and a 22-5 mark, while three Bulldogs earned All-America honors. Wallace led a youthful Georgia squad in 2015 to a 24-7 record and the program’s 11th trip to the NCAA Final Four. The Bulldogs sported a roster with five freshmen and only three upperclassmen, but Georgia ran through a difficult schedule to an impressive record, reaching the SEC Tournament Championship and making its deepest run in the NCAA Tournament since 2009. In 2014, Wallace garnered ITA Regional Coach of the Year honors after the Bulldogs enjoyed another banner season, going 24-5 with a final ranking of No. 4. Georgia captured the SEC Tournament title, the NCAA Tournament’s No. 1 overall seed for the first time in school history, advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals plus saw the top duo of Lauren Herring and Maho Kowase reach the NCAA Doubles Final. Wallace became one of three coaches in women’s tennis history to reach the 600-win plateau in 2013. He is one of five active collegiate tennis coaches with at least 600 wins, and is one of five UGA coaches to reach the mark. 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 Chelsey Gullickson winning the NCAA singles title at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. For the past seven years, Georgia has finished the year ranked in the top-eight nationally, and in 28 of Wallace’s 32 seasons at the helm, the Bulldogs have ended the year in the top-10. Wallace’s teams are the picture of consistency. With the 2017 NCAA bid, Georgia has appeared in 31 straight NCAA

Wallace's Quick Hits Personal Birthplace: Portland, Oregon Education: University of Georgia, 1985 Family: Wife, Sabina; Daughter, Brittany Sabina (28) Son, Jarryd Jeffrey (27)
The Wallace Era • 2 NCAA Team Titles: 1994, 2000 • 3 National Indoor Team Titles: 1994, 1995, 2002 • 8 SEC Titles: 1989, 1990, 1994, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, 2013 • 6 SEC Tournament Titles: 1994, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014 • 4-Time ITA National Coach-Of-The-Year: 1991, 1994, 2000, 2009 • 4-Time Regional Coach-Of-The-Year: 1990, 1994, 2000, 2014 • 5-Time SEC Coach-Of-The-Year: 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 2007 •.801 winning percentage is the best among active Division I coaches with a minimum of 600 victories. Tournaments and has advanced to the Final Four 11 times. Only once during his time as coach of the Bulldogs has the team missed the NCAA Tournament, and that was his first year in 1986.
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.
NCAA 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. The 2000 Bulldogs went 27-2, winning the Southeastern Conference title and the NCAA National Championship. In the title match on the campus of Pepperdine, Georgia dethroned the defending champion Stanford Cardinal 5-4, snapping a 48-match winning streak. Wallace was named the Wilson/ITA National Coach of the Year.
USTA/ITA National Team Indoors Under Wallace, the Bulldogs have been among the most successful teams at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championships. The annual event attracts the nation’s finest programs. The Bulldogs have won the title three times (1994, 1995, 2002) and have reached at least the semifinals 17 times. In 2017, Georgia reached the semifinals for the third-straight year, joining North Carolina as the only other program to do so. The Bulldogs defeated No. 10 Duke and No. 3 Pepperdine, before falling to top-ranked Florida, but Georgia would get its revenge in conference play. 2018 Georgia TENNIS
Head Coach Jeff Wallace Developing Talent His record for developing players and having them maximize their potential has been evident throughout his tenure. For example in 2015, he guided the team to a 24-7 record and the program’s 11th trip to the Final Four, the team’s first trip to the NCAA Semifinal since 2009. The Bulldogs finished the season ranked No. 5 in the country. In 2013, the Bulldogs won their ninth regular season SEC championship after going 24-4 and clinching its third consecutive 20-plus win season. The Bulldogs went undefeated at home (14-0) for the first time since 2009 and 12th time in program history. In 2001, Agata Cioroch arrived from Poland 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. 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. She would finish her career in 2012 as the school’s first ever eight-time All-American and own the record for victories. Meanwhile, Lauren Herring became the fourth Bulldog under Wallace to be named SEC Freshman of the Year, and the sophomore All-SEC tandem of Maho Kowase and Lilly Kimbell posted a school record of their own by going 22-0 at No. 3. 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.
Success in the Wallace Era In 28 of the past 32 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 HondaBroderick Award/tennis, 35 Bulldogs have earned All-America honors 107 times, and 57 different Bulldogs have been listed on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
Family A native of Portland, Oregon, Wallace is married to the former Sabina Marie Horne. They have two children, Brittany Sabina (28) and Jarryd Jeffrey (27). Brittany, who is married to Chris Sjogren, is a graduate of Valdosta State and is working in Atlanta. Jarryd, a 2015 UGA graduate who is married to the former Lea Babcock, is training full-time as a sprinter for the U.S. Paralympic Team. He is a two-time Paralympian (2012, 2016) who competed in London, England and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jarryd has set several world records, including the 100-meter sprint (10.71 seconds) at the 2015 ParaPan American Games and the 200-meter sprint (22.08 seconds) and the 4x100meter (40.73 seconds) at the 2013 IPC Athletics Worlds. He has medaled seven times. Sabina, a former All-SEC distance runner at Georgia, was inducted into the North Bay (Ontario, Canada) Sports Hall of Fame in 1996. She has continued to run competitively and has helped Wallace train for road races and marathons. Sabina is the track representative for Georgia’s “G” club, an alumni association for University of Georgia letter-winners. Also, Wallace received the 2002 Distinguished Alumni Award from the Recreation and Leisure Studies department of the University of Georgia’s College of Education.

Did You Know?
In the program’s 43 years, Georgia has only had one letterwinner that reigns from The Golden State. Lisa Salvatierra played for the Bulldogs from 1993-95, earning All-SEC doubles honors en route to Georgia’s fourth National Championship in 1994. Salvatierra played sparingly in singles, going just 2-0 on the No. 6 court, but was a fixture in the doubles lineup on the No. 3 court with Anne Chauzu. The duo went 10-2 overall including a perfect 6-0 in SEC play. Salvatierra also picked up Academic All-SEC honors in 1994. The San Francisco native did not start her collegiate career in Athens, but rather Salt Lake City at the University of Utah. The Bulldogs have yet to have an AllAmerican that has come from the state of California.

2017 Season Review
A Look Back At 2017 Overview of the Season The 2017 Georgia Bulldogs advanced to the Round of 16 for the program’s seventh-straight time. After a two year absence, the NCAA Championships returned to the Dan Magill Tennis Complex to a tone of over 13,456 attendees. In a stiff Sweet Sixteen matchup, 12th-ranked Pepperdine edged No. 5 Georgia 4-3 in a third set on the deciding court. Individually, Georgia’s dynamite duo of Elena Christofi and Kennedy Shaffer advanced to the Elite Eight of the Doubles Championships, while Ellen Perez reached the Round of 16 in the Singles Championships. The Bulldogs’ season also included a SEC regular season runner-up finish, a semifinals appearance at the ITA National Team Indoors, and a 10-match regular-season win streak. Amidst that regular-season tear, the Bulldogs defeated top-ranked Florida, snapping a then-NCAA allsport 163 home match win streak record. Final Rankings For the seventh-consecutive year, the Bulldogs capped the year ranked in the top 10. The Bulldogs had four singles players and two doubles pairs in the final ITA individual rankings. Perez led the group in singles rankings at No. 16, followed by Christofi (No. 24), Shaffer (No. 49), and senior Caroline Brinson (No. 70). In doubles, Brinson/Perez finished at No. 10, while the Christofi/Shaffer duo was No. 26. Four Garner All-America Accolades Perez was one of 10 women nationally to earn All-America honors in singles and doubles this year, while joining the exclusive company of only one other player that has done so each of the last two years. As Perez’s doubles partner, Brinson received her first-career All-America honor due to their seeding in the Doubles Championships and their final ranking. The dominant play of Christofi and Shaffer slingshotted the tandem to the quarterfinals of the Doubles Championships, securing doubles All-America honors. 2018 GEORGIA TENNIS

Georgia has made 28 appearances at the ITA National Indoors dating back to 1988, the first year of the tournament. It has been held in Madison, Wisconsin (19882010, ’16) by the Badgers and in Charlottesville, Virginia by the Cavaliers (2011-15). Yale played host in 2017, while the tournament returns to Madison in 2018. With last year’s trip, Georgia established a claim as one of only two programs (North Carolina) to reach the semifinals in each of the last three years. The Bulldogs have been to six consecutive National Team Indoors. The Bulldogs have won three titles (1994-95, 2002), finished second four times (2001, ’04, ’09, ’15) and tied for third nine times (1989-’93, ’98-00, ‘16). Georgia owns a 57-24 overall mark at the tournament, and that’s the second most wins of any program. The Bulldogs did not attend in 1997 due to multiple injuries.

Tennis Facilities
DAN MAGILL TENNIS COMPLEX
DAN MAGILL (1921-2014)
The University of Georgia
tennis programs owe much to the hard work and dedication of legendary Bulldog Dan Magill.
The Dan Magill Tennis Complex has long stood as a beacon of excel- • Capacity: 5,000 lence in collegiate tennis. With a total of 16 courts (12 outdoor and four indoor) • Built: 1977 and a total seating capacity of more than 5,000 fans, it is one of the largest • Courts: 12 outdoor/4 indoor on-campus tennis facilities in the country. • Hosted: 34 NCAA 1st/2nd In 2006, the NCAA opted to have one combined site for the men’s and Rounds and/or Championships women’s tennis championships. Georgia has served as a host for the combined NCAA Tennis Championships in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2015, and 2017. Regarded as one of the best collegiate tennis facilites in America, the complex hosted the men’s NCAA Championships a total of 24 times, the women’s Championships three times and both genders five times, most recently in 2017. It played host to 13 NCAA Championship in a row from 1977-89. The complex underwent a $7.5 million development and renovation project in 2002 that included the construction of brand-new clubhouses for the men’s and women’s programs. In 1991, the complex received lights thanks to the generous support of Oscar-winning actress and Athens native, Kim Basinger. Five of Georgia’s six National Championships in men’s tennis and one of the two women’s NCAA titles were won on their home courts at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Aside from Georgia’s best players, the Magill Tennis Complex has hosted classic matchups featuring such stars as John McEnroe and the Bryan brothers. Former Bulldog All-American John Isner is having a successful professional career ranked in the top 20 in the world. Former Bulldog Chelsey Gullickson captured the 2010 NCAA singles title at the Magill Tennis Complex and went on to play in the US Open in singles and doubles. Recent Bulldog Ellen Perez has competed at the 2016 US Open as well as the last two Australian Opens (2016-17).

He also spearheaded the
move to locate the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame facility on the Georgia campus. For his efforts, the entire facility was officially named the “Dan Magill Tennis Complex”
Henry Feild Stadium Court
Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Courts
in 1993.
Magill passed away in Au-
gust 2014 at the age of 93, but not before leaving behind a legacy that will stand the test of time.

Community Service
Bulldog SERVICE The UGA women’s tennis team has a long-standing history of service to the Athens and northeast Georgia communities. Over the years, the team has embarked on two community service projects in the area with Habitat for Humanity in September and the Salvation Army Angel Tree initiative in December. Head coach Jeff Wallace’s dedication to building character and wellrounded student-athletes extends far beyond the most recent season, though. Since the Southeastern Conference (SEC) began handing out the honor in 2004, a UGA women’s tennis player consistently has appeared on the SEC Community Service Team. In addition, the Bulldogs are one of the most decorated programs in the nation when it comes to academic awards. A total of 97 student-athletes have earned a spot on the SEC Academic Honor Roll since 1984 plus an additional 12 have made the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll that the league office began in 2003. All of this speaks volumes to the team’s ability to pursue excellence both on and off the court.
“It’s always great for our team to get out in the community and give something back to it.” Head Coach Jeff Wallace
Over the years, the Bulldogs have assisted the local Habitat for Humanity chapter with the construction of a house and helped out the Salvation Army Angel Tree initiative by packagaing and organizing toys for the less fortunate youth in the Athens Area. In each of the past two years, Caroline Brinson (right) was named to the SEC Community Service Team for women’s tennis.

“We always enjoy getting out in the local community and giving back a little. It’s important to us that we continue to make a differences in peoples’ lives both on and off the court.” Assoc. Head Coach Drake Bernstein
