Chris Cagle enters his fourth season with the Nittany Lions, his first full season as the Head Coach of the women’s tennis team. Cagle was announced Interim Head Coach for the women’s tennis team in December of 2013. Cagle’s first season at the helm of the women’s tennis program was no easy test as the team battled their way through injuries through the duration of the spring. Starting freshman at the top two spots in singles for the majority of the dual season, Cagle led Dasha Sapogova to All-Big Ten Second Team honors after winning 15 matches despite only competing in the spring. The 15 wins are the most by a freshman since Lauren Holzberg had 16 in 2006. Cagle coached the Nittany Lions to their first win over Nebraska in program history when the team rallied back from a 3-0 deficit to knock of the Huskers 4-3, with Sapogova taking the clinching match at No. 1 singles in three sets. The Nittany Lions got off to a quick start under the tutelage of Cagle winning their first three matches of the season over a two-day span. His first conference win came against Wisconsin at home when Katherine Whiteaway knocked off Sydney Rider in a grueling three-set match to break the tie and give the Nittany Lions a 4-3 victory. Cagle spent three years as the assistant coach to Jeff Zinn’s men’s team. The men’s tennis team went 11-14 in his first year at Penn State and saw the duo of Jason Lee and Russell Bader selected to compete in the NCAA Doubles Tournament. During his second season with the men’s team, the Nittany Lions finished 8-17. Cagle served one season as a volunteer assistant coach to Zinn at Wake Forest, where he played an active on-court role, helping the Demon Deacons reach the NCAA tournament. In 2011, Wake Forest posted a 14-12 record, notching their11th straight winning season. The Demon Deacons won 10 matches against nationally ranked opponents, including a 4-0 win over No. 30 Wisconsin to open the season and a 4-0 victory against No. 46 Virginia Commonwealth in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

SARNI TENNIS CENTER
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. PENN STATE 2013–14 • WOMEN’S TENNIS
