SEASON PREVIEW

PLAYER PROFILES

RETURNING PLAYERS The Penn State women’s tennis team returns eight players from its 2012-13 roster. Penn State is led by seniors Chelsea Utting, Marie-Frederique Bedard and Carmen Sandor. Utting had her best season as a Nittany Lion last year compiling a 17-13 singles record and a team-leading 21-10 doubles record en route to becoming a member of only the third Nittany Lions pair to reach the NCAA Doubles Tournament in program history. As a result of her never-give-up attitude and eagerness to learn, Bedard came back from injury and became an important factor for Penn State in the spring, winning six singles and three doubles matchs. According to Denny Wine, “the sky is the limit” for a player like Sandor. Last season Sandor set a career-high with 19 singles victories. She also tallied 13 doubles wins playing with five different partners and in all three doubles spots in the spring. The Nittany Lions also bring back five sophomores to mesh with the veteran leadership. Devan McCluskey is coming off of an impressive freshman season where she finished second on the team with 20 singles victories including eight in the fall which was the most for a freshman since 2008. Jacqueline Zuhse also impressed in her first collegiate season winning 16 singles and 11 doubles matches, playing her way into No. 3 singles after starting the season at No. 6. Katherine Whiteaway won 12 matches in her freshman year playing in various roles for the team. She started her spring season winning three of her first four doubles matches playing in the No. 2 spot. Emily Rivers and Lisa Petruzillo made their Nittany Lion debuts at the WMU Super Challenge. TALENTED NEWCOMERS The 2013-2014 Penn State team features five new members on its roster, including three freshman. Samantha Tutelman joins the Nittany Lions from New York where she won several USTA Junior Championships and was rated a top-50 recruit by TennisRecruiting.net. Melissa Minniti comes to Penn State from Gaithersburg, Maryland where she played four years of varsity tennis for Quince Orchard High School. She played No. 1 singles her final two seasons and captained her team to the state tournament her senior season where she also competed in the state’s singles tournament. Katia Blik comes to Happy Valley from Moscow, Russia. She attended Hampton School and the German School London. Penn State also brings in Taylor Shukow and Dasha Sapogova who will join the team in January at the start of the spring semester. Shukow hails from Boca Raton, Fla. where she trained at the Evert Tennis Academy with Chris and John Evert. Sapogova, a Minsk native, comes to Penn State having spent her last five years in Spain playing at School IPSE in Barcelona. BUILDING OFF OF THE FALL Several Nittany Lions made great strides during the 2013 Fall campaign. Senior Marie-Frederique Bedard led Penn State in singles victories with six during the fall including five 6

consecutive wins spanning two tournaments. At the Cissie Leary Invite in Philadelphia Bedard won all four back draw matches to take home the back draw title defeating Temple’s Yana Mavrina in the final. Senior Carmen Sandor led the Nittany Lions in doubles play, finishing with five victories on the fall. Teaming with Bedard at the Cissie Leary Invite, the duo won four consecutive matches en route to the back draw doubles title. It was Bedard’s second back draw final victory of the weekend. Senior Chelsea Utting saw limited action this fall dealing with minor injuries but earned two singles victories in Midland at the Racquet Club Invitational against top competition. In her first fall as a Nittany Lion, Samantha Tutelman got off to an impressive start finishing with five singles victories on the season. After dropping her first collegiate match she went on to win her next four advancing to the back draw championship against Blair Shankle of Baylor. She also competed at the Yale Invite winning one singles and one doubles match. Taking on a larger role this year, Katherine Whiteaway notched four singles victories and added three more in doubles matching her totals from the previous fall in three fewer matches. Whiteaway impressed at the Cissie Leary Invite winning three consecutive matches to earn a spot in the back draw final. Teaming with Sivan Krems of Princeton, she also won four matches advancing to the semifinals in the main draw. Devan McCluskey and Jacqueline Zuhse both brought home wins at the Racquet Club Invite to begin the fall. McCluskey won three consecutive matches in the back draw of singles while Zuhse advanced to the second round of main draws in both the singles and doubles tournamant. The Nittany Lions as a team finished the fall an even .500 in both singles and doubles competition. COMPETITIVE SCHEDULE As a member of the Big Ten, the Nittany Lions will continually face some of the toughest competition in the nation. Seven members of the Big Ten, not including Penn State, finished last season in the Top 75 of the ITA rankings. 13 of Penn State’s 23 opponents for the 2014 season finished the season in the ITA Top 75. Penn State will play nine of their scheduled 13 ranked teams away from University Park, Pa. RECRUITING Penn State continues its outlook on recruiting by finding athletes that are able to succeed on and off the court. “It is imperative that the coaching staff recruit players who have a strong desire to improve and develop their game to the next level,” said Denny Wine. “We are looking for studentathletes who love the challenges of the game and who expect growth in their game. The Penn State family focuses on the complete student-athlete. Our strong academic traditions speak for themselves and we welcome those expectations of recruiting the student-athletes who will uphold our academic and athletic traditions on and off the court. I believe it is a privilege to wear blue and white.”

The Penn State tennis facilities are first-rate. In addition to the Penn State Indoor Tennis Center which houses four Decoturf courts, a state-of-the-art outdoor facility opened in September of 1998. The second-to-none facility was named the USTA Outstanding Tennis Facility Award in 1999, just one year after its opening.

Neither of the Sarni’s is a Penn State graduate, although they have been supporters of academic and athletic programs at the University and both have had children attend Penn State.

The Sarni Tennis Center is a $2.3 million facility that features seven lighted Plexi-cushion courts including a stadium court with seating for 1,000 fans; a team clubhouse with locker rooms, meeting and video rooms; and a racket stringing area. Plans are underway to purchase a major scoreboard to enhance the facility.

In addition to the gift from the Sarni family, approximately $500,000 in University funding went into the project, which will also provide for student use of the facility.

The addition of this wonderful factility now means that Penn State can enter bids to host major collegiates championships. State-of-the-art stadium lighting also allows for the Nittany Lions to schedule evening matches, host large tournaments and build a sense of excitement about Penn State tennis going into the future. Vincent and Sandra Sarni got the ball rolling for the facility with their gift of $675,000. Vincent Sarni, a retired chairman and chief executive officer of PPG Industries, and his wife are tennis enthusiasts.
