ABOUT THE COVER With over 30 years of sustained success at the highest level of collegiate tennis, the University of Tennessee women’s tennis program can be best described as a “Perennial Winner.” The secret to the Orange and White’s continued achievement lies in the fact that the team’s coaches Mike Patrick and Sonia Hahn-Patrick are able to plant the seeds of success on an annual basis. Much like perennial flowers, Lady Vol teams bloom year after year, growing back stronger and more powerful each season.

2008-09 LADY VOL TENNIS


2009 SEASON PREVIEW PERENNIAL WINNERS With over 30 years of sustained success at the highest level of collegiate tennis, the University of Tennessee women’s tennis program can best be described as a “Perennial Winner.” The secret to the Orange and White’s continued achievement lies in the fact that the team’s coaches Mike Patrick and Sonia Hahn-Patrick are able to plant the seeds of success on an annual basis. Much like perennial flowers, Lady Vol teams bloom year after year, growing back stronger and more powerful each season. With their deepest and most talented roster in years, the Lady Vols will be looking to build on a solid 2007-08 campaign and make their 15thconsecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. For the first time in four seasons, the UT squad will be eight players deep, with each one holding enough talent to vie for a spot in the starting lineup. According to Patrick, that depth will play a critical role in Tennessee’s success in 2009. “Each player will really have to bring their best to practice each and every day this year if they want to keep a steady position in our lineup,” Patrick said. “We are hoping that added competitiveness in practice will carry over to the court during the season and push our team to become even more successful than we have been in recent years.” Another benefit of the larger roster is the ability to field a solid doubles lineup from top to bottom. That was extremely evident this fall when the Orange and White won over 70 percent of its doubles contests, despite trying out seven different combinations. Leading the way was the duo of junior Caitlin Whoriskey and sophomore Maria Sorbello which earned a preseason ranking of No. 19 in the nation after tallying a team-best seven victories in the fall, including three over ranked opponents.The pairing of sophomore Jennifer Meredith and freshman Natalie Pluskota also proved to be a solid match, as it amassed a 5-1 mark and won a flight title at the Southeastern Conference Coaches Fall Classic. Not to be downplayed though, is the tradition of winning that has been established on the singles courts. Since the fall of 2000, the Lady Vols have won over 1200 singles contests, doing so at over a 60 percent clip. In order to continue at that pace this season, however, UT will have to overcome the loss of Ghizela Schutte, who graduated this past spring with 62 of those victories during her career. Equally as important, though, will be finding a way to replace her leadership off the court. “Ghizela provided a lot for our program over the past few years,” Patrick said. “It will not be easy for one person to replace everything she

Juniors Zsófia Zubor and Caitlin Whoriskey will look to build on a solid sophomore season in which they reached as high as No. 2 in the ITA doubles poll.

did for our team, but we feel comfortable that we have a number of people ready to step up and contribute. Although we only have one senior this season, this is easily one of our most talented teams in recent years. If we are able to harness that talent, use the experience that we gained last season and play to our full potential, we will have a chance to have a pretty successful season.” Looking to fill the leadership void left by Schutte will be the team’s lone senior, Samantha Orlin. The native of Miami, Fla., looks poised for a breakout season following one of the most productive falls of her career. Playing against some of the nation’s top competition, Orlin accumulated a 6-4 record that included the first two victories over ranked opponents of her career. In her final match at the University of Virginia Invitational she downed No. 68 Jennifer Stevens from Virginia, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, before taking out No. 36 Lauren Lui of Northwestern in straight sets, 7-6 (5), 6-3, in the quarterfinals of flight five action at the Furman Fall Classic. Those two wins propelled her into the national spotlight for the first time, as she was awarded a placement of No. 77 in the country heading into the spring portion of her senior campaign. As a junior, the 5-6 lefthander put up a 19-15 singles record while playing primarily at the No. 3 position in the lineup. For her career, Orlin has fashioned a 65-46 mark, including 22 wins as a sophomore and 18 during her rookie season at Rocky Top. “As the most experienced player on our roster, Sam has a chance to play high in our lineup this season,” Patrick said. “She has always been an outstanding team player, and we will count on her to be a strong leader both on and off the court.” Two other players that will be relied on heavily for significant contributions are Whoriskey and fellow junior Zsófia Zubor. In addition to forming one of the most powerful doubles pairings in the nation, they each have established themselves as productive members of the singles lineup, having won a combined 88 matches in just over two seasons. Whoriskey, who went 12-6 from the No. 1 singles position in 2007, is the team’s leading candidate for the top spot again this year. Despite battling injuries for most of her sophomore campaign, the East Sandwich, Mass., product was still able to garner an at-large selection to the NCAA Individual Championships in Athens, Ga., at the end of the year.This past fall, she finished tied for the team lead with eight victories, including a perfect

2009 SEASON PREVIEW 2-0 record against ranked opponents, which helped her claim a national ranking of 92nd in the ITA preseason poll. As impressive as her singles résumé is, Whoriskey’s biggest impact has come when paired with Zubor in doubles action. Since joining forces near the end of their freshman season, Whoriskey and Zubor have tallied an impressive 34-18 record, emerged victorious at the prestigious Riviera/Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-American Championships, earned a ranking as high as No. 2 in the nation and received a pair of bids to compete in the NCAA Championships where they advanced to the Round of 16 in 2007. “In my opinion, Caitlin has the potential to be one of the top 10 players in the nation this season,” Patrick said. “If she remains healthy and continues to develop her game at the rate at which she has, the possibilities are endless for her.” In addition to her accomplishments with Whoriskey, Zubor is quite the accomplished singles player herself and will also challenge for a spot high in the lineup. One of the most versatile players on the roster, Zubor, who hails from Nyiregyhaza, Hungary, saw action at five different spots in the lineup as a sophomore en route to recording a 16-10 mark. She picked her game up to another level last semester, notching seven wins in tournament play, all in straight sets. “Zsófia is playing with a lot more confidence than she was a year ago,” Patrick said. “She is one of our most consistent players and when she is on top of her game, she has proven that she can compete with anyone in the country.” A perfect complement to the three upperclassmen is the sophomore trio of Rosalía Alda, Meredith and Sorbello. They each bring a unique set of skills to the squad that makes the Lady Vols a difficult team to match up with. The tallest player on the roster at 5-11, Alda used her hardhitting style to solidify both the No. 6 singles position and No. 2 spot in the doubles lineup for UT during her freshman season. In addition to finishing with a singles record of 18-13, the Round Rock, Texas, native went 23-11 in doubles matches while paired with Schutte. This season, Alda will combine efforts with Sorbello in tandem play. If the limited fall results are any indication, fans of the Orange and White should not expect much of a drop-off, as the duo was 3-1 in tournament action.

Sophomore Jennifer Meredith will play a critical role in the middle of both the singles and doubles lineups in 2009 after a solid freshman campaign, in which she won 19 singles contests and 21 doubles matches.

After spending her rookie campaign primarily at the sixth singles positions, sophomore Rosalía Alda will contend for one of the top three spots in 2009.

“Rosalía is a versatile player who has the ability to play near the top of both our singles and doubles lineups,” Patrick said.“She is probably our most powerful player, and I am extremely excited to see what she will accomplish as she continues to develop the rest of her game.” As a counterpoint to Alda’s power, Meredith employs more of a finesse-style game to the squad. Her deliberate and methodical play proved to be quite effective during her freshman season, as she was 19-12 on the year, including a 13-5 mark in dual-match action. Her true forte lies in doubles, however, where she has amassed a 31-15 record in just a year and a half, despite having played with five different partners. She seems to have found a match in Pluskota, though, as they combined to go 5-1 near the end of the 2008 fall schedule. “Jennifer is just an unbelievable competitor,” Patrick said. “She is very smart tactically and can be extremely tough to play against. She has the ability to use the entire court and is really effective at changing the pace and keeping her opponent guessing.” The third and final sophomore, Sorbello, is an all-around talent that is just now beginning to scratch the surface of her potential. After sitting out last season to serve a year of residency, she saw her first competitive action for UT this fall, going 4-5 in singles play while working off some rust. The effects of the layoff were not evident when she was playing doubles, however, as she put together a 10-5 record playing with Whoriskey and Alda. “Maria has worked very hard over the past year to get herself ready for this season, and I know that she is excited to get out on the court,” Patrick said. “She has a tremendous amount of natural talent and will play a big role in both our singles and doubles lineups.” Rounding out the Tennessee roster in 2009 are a pair of freshmen from widely varied backgrounds in Pluskota and Katie Lee. A Lady Vol fan her entire life, Pluskota comes to Rocky Top from Newnan, Ga. Rated a “Five-Star Recruit” by TennisRecruiting.net, Pluskota opened her career in the Orange and White with a solid fall campaign in which she amassed a 7-3 singles record, including victories in five of her first six contests. She was terrific in doubles play as well, notching a stellar 9-3 mark, despite splitting her time between two tandems. She seemed to particularly click with fellow Georgia native Meredith, however, as the duo won five of its six matches together.

2009 SEASON PREVIEW “Natalie brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our team,” Patrick said. “She has as much talent as anybody on our roster but needs to gain some experience playing at the collegiate level.The quicker she adjusts to the college game, the more successful we will be.” Lee, who joined the program just in time for the spring schedule in January, becomes the second Australia native on the roster and seventh player from “Down Under” in program history. Ranked as high as No. 88 in her home country, Lee had a very productive junior career, reaching at least the quarterfinals of singles play in seven different tournaments in 2008, while winning doubles titles in five. She is a former teammate of both Sorbello and UT men’s tennis player John-Patrick Smith while training under Charlie and Daphne Fancutt in her home city of Brisbane. “Katie is a tremendous competitor with quick hands and a great volley,” Patrick said. “She should immediately add some competitive depth

to both our singles and doubles lineups and work her way up as she gets acclimated to our program and life in another country.” The Big Orange coaches typically schedule as tough, or tougher, than any other team in the country and this season is no different. Of the squad’s 20 opponents, 16 are rated among the top 75 in the nation and seven are found among the top 25 in the ITA preseason poll. SEC rival Georgia leads UT’s list of opponents at No. 6, while fellow conference squad Florida is right on its heels at No. 7. Rounding out the list of top-25 opponents are 12thrated Vanderbilt, No. 13 Miami, 14th-ranked Arkansas, No. 17 Notre Dame and No. 23 Kentucky. The Patricks, who look to have set themselves up to have yet another annual contender, will carefully prepare their charges throughout the campaign so that they may be in full blossom at the end of the season yet again and further their reputation as “Perennial Winners.”

A respected leader in the coaching community, Mike Patrick has established a reputation for his ability to elevate collegiate tennis programs and players to the highest level of performance. For the 12th consecutive season, his efforts will continue to be bolstered by his wife and co-head coach, Sonia Hahn-Patrick. The union has proven to be very beneficial in all aspects of Tennessee women’s tennis. Last year, Patrick continued to add to his résumé, leading the Orange and White to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th-consecutive campaign and a final ranking of No. 24 in the nation. He also earned his 18th winning season in 21 years at Tennessee, concluding the campaign with a 15-10 record. On Jan. 26, Patrick reached the 400 career wins milestone as UT defeated Illinois, 6-1. By the end of the year, he had run his career record to 412-244 (.628) in 23 years of coaching. Already the winningest coach in Tennessee women’s tennis history with a mark on 356-216 (.622), Patrick also put up a record of 47-12 (.797) in two years as the head coach at Kentucky, as well as a 9-16 (.360) record as the leader of the men’s team at Arkansas in 1986-87. During the fall portion of the 2007-08 season, Patrick helped guide the sophomore tandem of Caitlin Whoriskey and Zsófia Zubor

In one of the more trying years of his career, Patrick continued his NCAA Tournament streak in 2005-06, leading a depleted squad to an appearance in Atlanta, Ga., where it dropped a heartbreaking, 4-2 decision to the University of Pennsylvania. The Big Orange concluded the campaign ranked 32nd in the final Fila Collegiate Tennis Rankings, while the doubles team of senior Melissa Schaub and sophomore Ghizela Schutte ended the year with a national placing of 44th. During the 2004-05 campaign, Patrick and Hahn-Patrick guided Tennessee to a 15-9 record, including two wins against top-10 foes, and finishing in the top 20 nationally for the 16th time in the past 17 campaigns. The Big Orange qualified for its 11th straight NCAA Championships and easily defeated Boston University, 4-0, in the opening round. With a trip to its ninth consecutive Sweet 16 appearance on the line, UT battled hard against host Harvard but fell, 4-1. Individuals flourished under the tutelage of the coaching tandem, as sophomore Victoria Jones picked up first-team All-SEC accolades, while sophomore Blakeley Griffith and junior Sabita Maharaj found homes on the second team. Additionally, Maharaj was awarded a bid to the NCAA Singles Championship for the second straight year.

Patrick’s Coaching Philosophy:

“I believe that each player is an individual with her own talents and weaknesses. As a coach, I have to look at what is going to improve each student-athlete. It is my intention to work with the tools each player possesses in order to maximize the output. A player who works with me cannot be afraid to work hard.” to the doubles title at the prestigious ITA AllAmerican Championships. The duo earned seven victories in six days, including four over opponents ranked among the top 10 nationally, to become the first team since 2004 to win the doubles title at the tournament after advancing through the qualifying round. Whoriskey and Zubor later earned a national ranking as high as No. 2 in the country. In 2006-07, the Lady Vols scored a dozen victories over ranked squads en route to earning a 14-11 overall record and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. UT’s most dramatic triumph came in the Southeastern Conference quarterfinals against No. 23 South Carolina where senior Blakeley Griffith, with the score tied at 3-3, closed out the win with a threeset victory over Gira Schofield, allowing the Lady Vols to advance to the tournament’s semifinal round for the second straight season. Griffith later earned All-SEC First Team honors and was ranked 29th in the country in the season’s final poll.

The work comes first, and the results and rewards come later. I think that goals are important, but once they are written down, the process to achieve these objectives is what will make them better competitors.They cannot be afraid to fail. Striving for perfection is not scary; however, not willing to try is.” of Caitlin Whoriskey and Zsófia Zubor to the doubles title at the prestigious ITA All-American Championships.

2008-09 LADY VOL TENNIS


2007-08 SEASON IN REVIEW WELCOME TO ROCKY TOP “TENNIS”-EE!

Already one of the top destinations for tennis fans from around the globe, Rocky Top “Tennis”-ee! only continued to add to its allure in 2008, as the Lady Vols scored their 14th-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and 13th winning season in 14 years. Led by co-head coaches Mike Patrick and Sonia Hahn-Patrick, the University of Tennessee offered up one of the most exciting brands of tennis in the country, finishing with a 15-10 overall record. As always, the Big Orange faced one of the most challenging schedules in the country, as only six of its 25 opponents were not ranked, 11 were among the top-25 and seven had earned placements among the top 15 in the nation. Of UT’s 15 victories, nine came against ranked foes, including four of the team’s six conference triumphs and a win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Overall, the Lady Vols finished 6-5 in Southeastern Conference play, once again claiming a winning league record, something they have done every season since the conference instituted a round-robin schedule format in 2000. Tennessee christened the 2008-09 season by hosting the St. Mary’s Classic in Knoxville, Sept. 14-16.The squad came away with a pair of flight titles in both singles and doubles. The tandem of sophomores Caitlin Whoriskey and Zsófia Zubor led the way, winning the first flight championship on the opening day of play, followed by a flight three title by the freshman duo of Jennifer Meredith and Rosalía Alda. Two days later, Zubor and junior Samantha Orlin finished off the competition with style, emerging victorious in the sixth and eighth singles flights, respectively. A week later at the Furman Fall Classic, the Orange and White found success once again, returning to Knoxville with three singles flight titles and a doubles flight championship. This time it was the pairing of Alda and senior Ghizela Schutte that did the damage in doubles play,

During her final season at Rocky Top, Ghizela Schutte put up a 25-12 doubles record as well as a 15-16 mark in singles play. She was also named to the SEC Community Service team, a fitting end to the career of a player that gave so much to the Lady Vol tennis program.

completing a perfect run through the third flight, while Orlin, Zubor and Alda followed suit in their respective singles flights. Just days later, Whoriskey and Zubor traveled to Pacific Palisades, Calif., to compete in the prestigious Riviera/Intercollegiate Tennis Association All American Tennis Championships. Over the course of the next week, the two sophomores would firmly cement their place as one of the most dangerous pairings in the nation, as they became the first team since 2004 to win the title after advancing through the qualifying draw and fifth SEC squad to win the event since 2001. During the seven-day competition,Whoriskey and Zubor defeated the top teams from four different leagues, including the Big Ten, Southeastern, Pac-10 and Atlantic Coast Conferences, and took down the then-Nos. 2, 3, 4, 7, 35 and 54-ranked pairings in the country. The Lady Vol duo took out the No. 3-ranked squad of Kristi Miller and Whitney McCray from Georgia Tech, 7-5, 6-3, to close out its remarkable performance at the competition. The title earned the sophomore combo a spot in the ITA National Indoor Championships, Nov. 1-3, in Columbus, Ohio, where they picked up an 8-2 victory over Maria Klokotzky and Anna Karavayeva from Fresno Pacific before being ousted in the semifinals of the consolation draw. On Oct. 19, the Big Orange hit the road once again, making the trip to Chapel Hill, N.C., to compete in the ITA Southeast Regional Championships. After a solid opening day that saw four different Lady Vols win their singles contests, only Schutte advanced past day two before she bowed out in the Round of 16. The final stop of the fall came in Auburn, Ala., where UT took part in the SEC Coaches Tournament. Meredith, Orlin and Alda highlighted the action once again, as each tallied a pair of singles victories over the weekend. Prior to the commencement of dual-match play, Tennessee was well represented in the ITA preseason poll, led by Whoriskey and Zubor who were ranked as the No. 2 doubles team in the nation. Other members of the team earning recognition in the listing were Schutte and Alda, who ranked as the 26th-best doubles tandem in the country, while Zubor served as the team’s lone representative on the singles chart, coming in at No. 95. Utilizing the momentum from its solid fall performances, the Big Orange raced out to its best start in four years, winning its first four dual matches. The Lady Vols opened the season in style, sweeping in-state rival Middle Tennessee State, 7-0, in Knoxville on Jan. 18. UT won all nine matches and dropped just one set on the evening, as co-head coach Mike Patrick improved his record in home openers to an astounding 20-1 during his tenure at Rocky Top. Just three days later, the Orange and White outlasted No. 12 North Carolina in a marathon match that lasted over seven hours, winning 4-3. After clinching the all-important doubles point, Tennessee got singles wins from Whoriskey, Meredith and Zubor to pick up the victory. On Feb. 17, the Lady Vols dismantled Illinois, 6-1, to give Patrick the 400th win of his collegiate career. After sweeping the doubles point, UT dominated the singles portion of the contest, winning all but two sets on the day. Following quick wins from Whoriskey and Meredith on the first and fourth courts, respectively, Orlin slammed the door shut with a 7-5, 6-2, triumph over Marisa Lambropoulous at the No. 3 slot in the lineup. In a virtual repeat of its match against the Fighting Illini the previous day, the Orange and White defeated another Big Ten foe, Purdue, by a 6-1 score at the Knoxville Racquet Club on Jan. 27. The victory improved the Lady Vols’ record to 4-0, matching their best start to a season since the 2002-03 campaign. Tennessee finally suffered its first loss of the season on Feb. 3, when it was unable to close out its match against No. 22 Wake Forest, falling 4-3. Playing on the road for the first time, the Big Orange came out of the

2007-08 Season In Review gates swinging, quickly staking claim to the doubles point with wins on the second and third courts. A victory by Zubor put her squad up 2-0, but that would be the last UT tally on the scoreboard until it was too late as the Demon Deacons rattled off singles wins in the next four contests to earn the win. After a 12-day layoff, the Lady Vols suffered another road setback when they dropped a 4-3 decision to No. 25 Michigan on Feb. 15. For the first time all year, the Orange and White was unable to come away with the doubles point, losing all three contests. The Wolverines continued to apply the pressure in singles play, jumping out to a commanding 3-0 lead before UT was able to respond. Despite getting wins from Meredith, Orlin and Whoriskey to tie the contest at three-all, Tennessee could not quite finish off the comeback attempt as Whitney Taney edged out a three-set, 6-0, 6-7 (5), 7-5, win over Schutte on court two to end the match. The Big Orange finally got back on track against No. 27 Indiana two days later, tallying a come-from-behind, 4-3, triumph for its first road victory of the season. Although UT won the doubles point for the sixth time in seven matches, it could not sustain its momentum in singles play as the Hoosiers took a 3-2 lead with three quick wins. With the final two matches headed to deciding third sets, the match looked to be a toss-up. Fortunately for fans of the Big Orange, Whoriskey and Alda shouldered the pressure and finished off their opponents to put their team back in the win column. Although it needed a late comeback for the second consecutive match, Tennessee moved its record to 6-2, edging out No. 53 Virginia, 4-3, on the road on Feb. 24. After going up 2-0 with wins on the first and third doubles courts, and a victory by sophomore Connor Vogel at the sixth spot in the singles lineup, the Cavaliers came roaring back with three wins of their own to go up 3-2. Once again, the Lady Vols needed to win their final two matches to earn the victory and they were able to do just that with Meredith and Schutte coming through in the clutch. Despite falling behind early, Schutte never gave up.The South Africa native dropped her first set to Jennifer Stevens in a tiebreaker, 6-7 (5) and was trailing 3-0 in the second frame before collecting herself and mounting a sensational comeback. Schutte would dominate the final two sets, winning by scores of 6-4 and 6-3, respectively, en route to her 10th singles victory and first match-clinching win of the season. Tennessee finally got a little breathing room two days later as it closed out its season-long, six-match road trip with a 5-2 win over Mississippi State in Starkville.Although the Big Orange would eventually win the contest, it was unable to claim the doubles point for just the second time of the season, falling at the first and second positions. The Lady Vols got wins from Schutte, Zubor, Orlin, Meredith and Alda in singles play, however, to cruise to the victory. In its first home date in over a month, UT had its four-match winning streak snapped by fifth-ranked Florida, falling 7-0 to the Gators on March 7. The Lady Vols lone win on the day, an 8-5 triumph by the duo of Schutte and Alda over Whitney Benik and Lolita Frangulyan on court two, was a big one however, as the victory marked the first time that a Florida doubles team had lost in dual-match play all season. In what looked to be becoming a trend, Tennessee scored yet another come-from-behind win two days later, its fourth of the season, defeating No. 29 South Carolina, 4-3. After winning all three doubles contests, UT started slow in singles, dropping the first two matches. Although Vogel tied it up at 2-2 with a win on court six, the Gamecocks moved to within a single point of securing the match with their third triumph of the day. Facing a familiar do-or-die situation, the Big Orange barely even blinked before mounting a spectacular comeback. Junior Samantha Orlin started the rally with a gutsy, 7-6 (3), 6-1, win over Miljana Jocic on the fourth court, to set up a memorable win by Meredith at the fifth position.

Junior Samantha Orlin tied for the team lead in singles wins in 2007-08 with a record of 19-15, playing primarily from the No. 3 spot in the lineup.

After dropping the first set, 2-6, and falling behind 2-5 in the second set, the Marietta, Ga., native fought off her opponent, Megan McGavock, to win the second frame, 7-5. With Tennessee’s fate squarely in her hands, Meredith continued to befuddle her opponent with a variety of slices and off-speed attacks to win 6-1 and give the Big Orange its ninth victory of the season and third in conference action. With Spring Break the following week, the Lady Vols stepped out of conference play to travel to the Aloha State for matches against No. 13 Duke and Hawai’i. After dropping a hard-fought, 2-5, loss to the Blue Devils, UT responded with a 7-0 blanking of the Rainbow Wahine to close out the non-conference portion of its slate before returning to Knoxville. Tennessee’s return to the mainland was not a pleasant one, however, as it suffered a 6-1 setback to No. 22 Arkansas on March 21. Zubor scored the lone Lady Vol point on the day, earning her 13th singles victory of the season. The Big Orange bounced back with one of its best performances of the season though, traveling to Baton Rouge, La., to bounce No. 26 LSU, 6-1, just two days after the loss to the Razorbacks. After getting a pair of wins in doubles play to take a 1-0 lead, Alda, Schutte, Orlin, Zubor and Meredith tallied singles victories to lead the Lady Vols to the dominating win. Orlin’s 6-3, 7-5, triumph over Nicole Kantor on the fourth court clinched the win for UT. The following weekend,Tennessee closed out the home portion of its schedule with a pair of conference wins over Auburn and Alabama. The match against the Tigers came down to the wire, but the Lady Vols were able to emerge victorious, with the 71st-ranked Whoriskey defeating No. 24 Fani Chifchieva, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, to seal the win. Fortunately, the contest against the Crimson Tide was much less eventful, as the Orange and White was able to send Schutte out a winner on Senior Day with a 7-0 triumph. The Cape Town, South Africa, product was perfect in her final appearance at Rocky Top, earning wins in the No. 2 positions in both doubles and singles play. Arguably the toughest stretch of UT’s schedule came over the

2008-09 LADY VOL TENNIS

2007-08 SEASON IN REVIEW next three matches as it hit the road to face the top three teams in the ultra-competitive SEC Eastern Division, No. 13 Vanderbilt, No. 25 Kentucky and No. 8 Georgia. The difficult run proved to be a bit too much for the Big Orange which dropped decisions at all three venues. Despite the three losses, Tennessee entered the SEC Tournament in Auburn,Ala., as the fifth-seed and opened with a dominating performance against Mississippi State, easily winning 4-0. The injury bug hit the next round though and the Orange and White was not able to advance past Vanderbilt, losing 4-0 despite tremendous effort. The task was made even more difficult when both Whoriskey and Meredith had to sit out the singles portion of the contest due to injuries and UT was forced to forfeit the sixth singles position to the Commodores. The early loss in the conference tournament turned out to be a blessing in disguise, however, as it provided the Lady Vols extra time to rest up prior to the beginning of the NCAA Tournament. As the No. 25 team in the nation, UT traveled to Atlanta, Ga., to compete in the opening rounds of its 14th-consecutive NCAA Championships. First up for the Big Orange was No. 36 Illinois, which entered the tournament with a 12-10 record. For the second time in 2008, however, UT had little trouble dispatching the Fighting Illini, shutting them out 4-0. Vogel sealed the deal for the Big Orange with a clutch, match-clinching triumph from the No. 4 position in the singles lineup after the Lady Vols picked up the doubles point by winning at the second and third positions. The 2007-08 season came to an end the next day, however, as thirdseeded and defending national champion Georgia Tech proved to be too large of an obstacle for Tennessee to overcome. The Yellow Jackets fought off the hard-working Lady Vol squad to win 4-0 and knock them out in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. In the final ITA Division I poll, the UT women’s tennis team earned a placement of No. 24, giving the squad a year-ending ranking in the top-25 for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons. The Lady Vols concluded the

season with a 15-10 overall record. The campaign was not over for two members of the team though, as the duo of Whoriskey and Zubor had previously earned an at-large bid to compete in the doubles portion of the NCAA Individual Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Whoriskey also earned an at-large bid to the singles draw. A year after reaching the Round of 16, the Tennessee tandem was unable to duplicate that feat, falling in the opening round to the fifth-ranked Southern Cal pairing of Amanda Fink and Gabriela Niculescu, 7-6 (5), 3-6, 2-6. Whoriskey was also ousted in the first round, dropping a 6-2, 6-1,decision to No. 9 Sanaz Marand from North Carolina. In a fitting end to her career, Schutte was tabbed to the SEC Community Service team for her work in the Knoxville community. For a player that fought through countless injuries and gave so much to the program in terms of leadership both on and off the court, the award could not have been more accurate. She finished her career at the 12th position on the UT doubles wins chart with a record of 69-51 in tandem play. She also amassed a four-year singles mark of 62-46 during her time at Rocky Top. Whoriskey also picked up postseason laurels, being named to the All-SEC Second Team. She finished the year with a 16-9 singles record, including a 12-6 mark from the top position in the lineup. Even more impressive though, was the fact that she recorded five of UT’s eight singles victories over ranked opponents during the year. “It says a lot about the character of our team that we were able to finish top-25 in the country with a team that as many injuries as this one did,” Patrick said. “In a sport like this, when you lose a couple of your top players, it can really hurt, but we persevered and made it through some tough times. Hopefully, that’s toughened us up and we will help us to be even more successful in years to come.” With yet another successful season in the record books for the Lady Vols, the reputation of the program continues to grow. For those looking for high-level tennis, the answer is clear. Just make the trip down to good ol’ Rocky Top “Tennis”-ee!

SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE “The Standard for Excellence”

The Southeastern Conference women’s tennis programs continue to be the nation’s leaders on the collegiate hardcourt and in 2007-08 the trend continued. The conference made another strong national showing in 2008 as Florida reached the semifinal round where it was defeated by eventual national champion UCLA, 4-2. This marked the 23nd straight year that at least one SEC team advanced to the national quarterfinals. All six of the SEC’s national team titles have come in the last 15 years with Florida earning four (1992, 1996, 1998 and 2003) and Georgia winning two (1994 and 2000). In the singles tournament, 11 SEC players were selected to the singles bracket, while seven doubles teams were chosen. The league has garnered five NCAA women’s doubles titles since 1989, when Mississippi State’s Jackie Holden and Clair Pollard took the title. In 1991, the Lady Gator duo of Jillian Alexander and Nicole Arendt won the crown. Florida’s Dawn Buth and Stephanie Nickitas won back-to-back titles in 1996 and 1997 and advanced to the doubles finals in 1998. The last national doubles title won was in 2001, by Florida’s Whitney Laiho and Jessica Lehnhoff. Four of the last 15 women’s singles champions belong to SEC players, bringing the SEC’s NCAA singles titles to six. SEC WOMEN’S TENNIS • • • • • • •

• From 1980-81 and from 1984-89, the SEC champion was determined by the accumulation of points in an individual flighted tournament. • In 1982 and 1983, the SEC experimented with the team dual match format for the conference tournament. The winner of the tournament was crowned SEC champion. However, after a two-year trial, the SEC went back to a points system in an individual flighted tournament to determined the SEC champion. In 1990, the SEC brought back the team dual match format for the conference tournament and a points system was put in place to determine the SEC champion. • From 1990-98, the SEC champion was determined by total aggregate points accumulated at the conclusion of the conference tournament: one full point is awarded for each regular-season conference win, one half-point for wins in the first two rounds of the conference tournament, one-half point for receiving a first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in the conference tournament semifinals and finals. • For the 1999 season, the same points system was in place with a couple of changes: one full point for first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in any round of the conference tournament. • In 2000, the SEC changed the determination of its tennis champion to the team with the best winning percentage in conference regular-season dual matches (one per opponent for a total of 11 matches).

Tennessee All-Americans The University of Tennessee Lady Volunteer tennis program is steeped in tradition. In its 32-year history, 12 individuals stand out as AllAmericans. The trend started in 1978 when Australia natives Paula and Peta Kelly arrived on campus and promptly began to lay the foundation on which the program has flourished. The Kellys earned All-America status three times as a doubles tandem.The Kellys’ teammate, Michelle DePalmer, was the next Lady Vol to pick up the honor in 1981 for her singles play. In 1989, Stacey Martin received the honor in singles, and three years later Shannon Kagawa and Mandy Wilson became the second Tennessee All-America doubles team. In 1995, Margie Lepsi joined the list for her singles play. Lepsi and doubles partner Manisha Malhotra earned doubles honors from 1996-98, and in 1997, Malhotra became the first Lady Vol to be an All-American in singles and doubles in the same year. Alison Ojeda earned All-America honors in singles play following her successful 2001 season. Vilmarie Castellvi picked up the honors in back-to-back years for singles in 2002 and 2003. Castellvi was also recognized in doubles in 2003 with Melissa Schaub. Tammy Encina rounds out the membership in the elite group, snagging the accolade for singles in 2003.

ALL-SPORTS AWARDS For three of the past five years, the University of Tennessee Women’s Athletics Department, the Lady Vols, have claimed the Southeastern Conference women’s all-sports award as presented by The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group. In 2008, the Lady Vols placed fourth, totaling 64 points for an 8.00 average (in eight sports). In 2007-08, 10 of 11 teams sponsored by the UT women’s athletics department (basketball, cross country, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, and tennis) participated in postseason play. Tennessee finished third overall, with 128.50 points. The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group, which includes 14 newspapers throughout the Southeastern United States, awards trophies to the league school that captures each of the three all-sports titles. A first-place SEC finish is worth 12 points, second is given 11 points, and so on. A school’s point total is divided by the number of sports it fields to arrive at the average. The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group took over coordination of the SEC All-Sports rankings in 1994-95. Prior to that, the league office tabulated the SEC All-Sports totals from 1973-94 and it was given out annually as the Bernie Moore Trophy. As a combined men’s and women’s program, UT finished 16th in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup with 952.75 points. Tennessee used a women’s basketball national championship and top-ten finishes in women’s soccer, women’s swimming & diving and women’s track & field, as well as men’s basketball, men’s swimming & diving, men’s track & field and men’s tennis to earn the top 20 finish. Developed jointly by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today newspaper, the Director’s Cup standings combine points awarded based on each institution’s finish in up to 20 sports - 10 women’s and 10 men’s. 2007-08 FINAL SEC ALL-SPORTS STANDINGS OVERALL Place 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

UT WOMEN’S ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Women’s Athletics Department at the University of Tennessee is to provide opportunities for intercollegiate athletic participation and academic excellence at the highest possible level. Our goal is to enable outstanding studentathletes to maximize their potential both athletically and academically, while maintaining an environment which fosters sportsmanship and integrity. UT ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT COMPLIANCE STATEMENT Compliance with NCAA rules is one of the highest priorities for the University of Tennessee and our athletics department. As a member of the NCAA, the University of Tennessee is responsible for the actions of its boosters and fans. Even the best intentions may violate NCAA rules. We need your help in observing all SEC and NCAA regulations. Boosters and fans must be careful of their interaction with prospective and current student-athletes. Therefore, we encourage our boosters and fans to “Ask Before You Act” by contacting the Compliance Office staff: Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance Todd Dooley or Senior Associate Athletics Director Donna Thomas (865-974-4275). REPRESENTATIVES OF ATHLETICS INTERESTS, BOOSTERS There are many ways an individual can be classified as a representative of Tennessee’s athletics interests. You are a “representative of The University of Tennessee’s athletics interests,” if you have been involved in a booster club, made financial contributions to the athletics program or booster organizations; provided benefits to an enrolled student-athlete; assisted in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes, or been involved in the promotion of UT athletics. Please note that once you have been identified as a representative of University of Tennessee athletics interests, you retain that identity indefinitely. RECRUITING, EXTRA BENEFITS AND INDUCEMENTS Only coaches and athletics department staff members can be involved in the

recruiting process. All “athletics representatives” who are not employees of UT are prohibited from contacting a prospect by telephone, letter or in-person, on- or off-campus, for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at UT. It is not permissible for prospects, student-athletes or their relatives and friends to receive any extra benefits or special arrangements from a booster. Extra benefits include, but are not limited to: cash or loans in any amount; co-signing or arranging a loan; providing gifts of any kind (e.g. clothing, airline tickets, or holiday cards); providing special discounts for goods and services; use of an automobile. If you are an established friend or neighbor of a prospect, you may have contact with the prospect provided you do not try to recruit the prospect on behalf of UT, and that such contacts are not made at the direction of UT’s coaching staff. Please note that a prospect is a person who has started classes for the ninth grade. EMPLOYMENT The Compliance Office must keep written records verifying all student-athlete employment. NCAA rules stipulate that compensation may be paid to a student-athlete only for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with the going rate in that locality for similar service. NCAA rules also prohibit employers from using the name or picture of a student-athlete to directly or indirectly advertise, recommend or promote the sale or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Do not provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. Compensation may not include any remuneration for value or utility that the student-athlete may have for the employer because of publicity, reputation, fame or personal following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability. REMEMBER: “PLAY BY THE RULES” TENNESSEE ATHLETICS COMPLIANCE (865) 974-3871 (Men’s) (865) 974-4275 (Women’s) www.VolsPlayByTheRules.com


The 2008 V O L SCA RS

The event is a sports award show modeled after the ESPYs. Tennessee studentathletes begin the evening on the “orange” carpet with media interviews in true Hollywood style, followed by a dinner and awards show. Some of the awards of the evening include: Best TV Moment, Best Comeback Game, Best Supporting Role (male and female) and Mr. Tennessee and Miss Tennessee.

THE TRADITIONS... NICKNAME The formation of the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discussion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes. After long consideration and debate, it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as “Lady Volunteers” or “Lady Vols.” The University of Tennessee, as the state’s land grant university, draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state. Tennessee acquired the name “The Volunteer State” in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans. The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V. Brown issued a call for 2,800 men to battle Santa Anna, and some 30,000 volunteered. The name “Volunteers” or “Lady Volunteers” is frequently shortened to “Vols” or “Lady Vols” for the men’s and women’s athletic teams. MASCOT The official mascot is Smokey, a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953. The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons. The present Smokey, the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the family of the late Rev. W.C. Brooks of Knoxville, is appropriately called Smokey IX. Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot. At Lady Vol events, a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders. CHEERLEADERS Tennessee is one of a handful of women’s athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-in-aid. The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring.

ROCKY TOP Over 40 years ago, a husband-wife song writing team, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg, Tenn., penned the song “Rocky Top.” Since that time, the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams. Rocky Top Wish that I was on ol’ ROCKY TOP, Down in the Tennessee hills; Ain’t no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP, Ain’t no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP, Half bear, other half cat; Wild as mink, but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that. [CHORUS] ROCKY TOP, you’ll always be Home sweet home to me; Good ol’ ROCKY TOP-ROCKY TOP Tennessee. Once two strangers climbed ol’ ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still; Strangers ain’t come down from ROCKY TOP, Reckon they never will. Corn won’t grow at all on ROCKY TOP, Dirt’s too rocky by far; That’s why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar. [CHORUS] (Copyright 1967 by HOUSE OF BRYANT Publications, P.O. Box 120608, Nashville, TN 37212)

SCHOOL COLORS The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore, a member of the first football team in 1891, and were later approved by a vote of the student body. The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profusion on “The Hill.” GRADUATION RATE The Women’s Athletics Department at the University of Tennessee is fully committed to the academic progress of each student-athlete in the Lady Vol program. When coaches recruit, they look for talented athletes who will work as hard in the classroom as they do during competition. In fact, nearly all Lady Vol student-athletes who have remained with the program through their senior years have earned, or are in the process of earning, their degrees. In addition, 620 Lady Vols have been awarded a sum of 1,211 Academic All-Southeastern Conference citations after 47 student-athletes joined the ranks in 2007-08. SPORTSMANSHIP Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredient for wholesome athletic competition. The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans, students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors. The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the The Lady Vol tennis team has a strong following within the Knoxville community and enjoys University’s reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at a tremendous home-court advantage. sporting events.

Hundreds of Lady Vol supporters, adorned in black tie and tennis shoes, gather at the Knoxville Convention Center for the annual Salute to Excellence. The event features a sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, music and dancing. Salute is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the women’s athletics department.

Friends of the Lady Vol program may bid on a large variety of items during the silent and live auctions.

Lady Vol fans who attend Salute get the chance to interact with some of the athletes from various teams, such as these two ladies with Alex Fuller.

In its continuing efforts to enhance and upgrade the quality of its women’s athletics teams, the University of Tennessee will be giving the Goodfriend Tennis Center and UT Varsity Courts a makeover. Included in the first phase of improvements will be a new team building to be located directly above the stands at the outdoor courts. This three-story structure will be shared by both the men’s and women’s teams.The first level will feature a spacious team room, as well as a large film study room, lobby and areas for the display of various awards. Office space and a conference room, for the coaches of both squads, will be located on the second floor, while the entirety of the top level will be designated as a hospitality room with a large balcony overlooking the six outdoor playing courts.

GOODFRIEND TENNIS CENTER

Originally introduced in 1997 as the UT Indoor Tennis Center, the structure was rededicated as the Goodfriend Tennis Center in January of 1999. The Lady Vols previously used the Cedar Bluff Racquet Club, a private facility west of campus, as their indoor home for tournaments and home matches. The Goodfriend Tennis Center is the exclusive indoor practice and competition facility for both the Tennessee women’s and men’s tennis teams. Featuring four courts recently resurfaced by World Class Tennis, the Goodfriend Tennis Center has permanent seating for 500 spectators, women’s and men’s locker room facilities along with public restrooms. The three-story structure is located adjacent to the outdoor UT Varsity Courts, on the corner of Caledonia Avenue and 20th Street. Now in its 33rd season of use, the UT Tennis Stadium is one of the most consummate collegiate complexes in the country. The site of the Lady Vols’ home outdoor matches, it has served as the site of the 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2003 NCAA Southeast Regionals, 1992 ITA/Rolex Southeast Regional Championships and the 1991 and 2003 SEC Women’s Tennis Championships. The stadium and courts, built in 1976, feature permanent seating for 2,500 spectators, six courts resurfaced by World Class Tennis prior to the 2007 season and overhead lights, which were added in 1987 thanks to a donation by former Vol great Paul Annacone. Just behind the bleachers is a two-story structure which houses concession stands, restrooms, equipment rooms and meeting areas on the first level. Covered booths, one for radio and television, and additional space for the media comprise the second level.
