W.T. “Dub” Robinson Tennis Stadium
Since 1970, the W.T. Robinson Tennis Stadium has been the home of the LSU tennis program. The “Dub”, as it is affectionately referred to, has also undergone numerous renovations and improvements to keep up with collegiate tennis facilities across the nation. Both the nationally ranked Tigers and Lady Tigers enjoy state-of-the-art locker rooms, a squad room, and brand new showers and bathrooms. The “Dub” was totally refurbished after the 2002 season to include a media room, an equipment room and a ground-floor viewing area for handicapped tennis fans. Robinson Stadium, named in honor of LSU’s former winningest tennis coach, was completed in 1970 and is the site of the Tigers’ and Lady Tigers’ home outdoor matches. It features six varsity courts and six practice courts. Both the varsity and practice courts were resurfaced prior to the 2007 season, and new lights were added
to the varsity courts after the season. The varsity courts feature an electronic scoreboard, along with six individual electronic scoreboards for each court that were added before the start of the 2009 season. The stadium can accommodate up to 550 spectators. Since Tony Minnis took over the LSU women’s tennis program, the Lady Tigers have accumulated a 163-67 overall record at home. Their best season there came in 2000, where the Lady Tigers remained perfect at home throughout the season for only the third time in the stadium’s history. They advanced all the way to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 that year as well. LSU has only had one losing season at home since the Tony Minnis era began in 1992 with the rest of the years producing above-.500 marks.

Strength
& Conditioning
The LSU strength and conditioning facility was built in 1997 and features the latest in both strength training and cardiovascular training equipment. Measuring 10,000 square feet, LSU has one of the finest strength and conditioning facilities in the nation. LSU’s strength and conditioning team took a new direction in 2000 under strength coach Tommy Moffitt. Moffitt is in charge of the LSU strength and conditioning facilities, located in Tiger Stadium and in the Football Operations Center. The LSU women’s tennis program works with Kristina Hull. Strength and conditioning can be the heart and soul of an athletic program’s success, and LSU has taken great strides to improve its strength program and facilities.
“Strength and conditioning is vital for tennis players, and this year Kristina has really helped us improve our quickness and strength. She has us doing Olympic lifts in the weight room which has helped tremendously with strength. Our entire team has gained strength as well as developed food speed on the court.”
- Nicole Kantor
LSU Women’s Tennis also utilizes the state-of-the-art LSU Football Operations Center which houses one of the most complete strength training facilities in the nation. Completed in 2006, the weight room area includes 16 multi-purpose platform, bench, incline, squat and Olympic lifting stations, along with 12 dumbell bench stations.

TRADITION
The Nation’s Elite Teams
Baseball
The Team of the 90s returned to the top of 21st-century college baseball as LSU brought home a sixth national championship in its first season at New Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers knocked off top-seeded Texas in the best-of-three College World Series championship series and were sparked by a 14-game postseason winning streak. Third-year head coach Paul Mainieri was the unanimous choice for National Coach of the Year as LSU finished the season with a 56-17 record, a Southeastern Conference regular season title and an SEC Tournament title.
Men’s Basketball
The LSU men’s basketball team captured its fourth SEC Western Division title this decade and won the Southeastern Conference regular season championship with a 13-3 record, winning the title by three games under first-year head coach Trent Johnson. LSU was 27-8 on the year and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Johnson was the consensus choice as SEC Coach of the Year and a finalist for three national coach of the year honors.
Gymnastics
The gymnastics team continued to show it is one of the nation’s elite programs in 2009 by advancing to the Super Six after capturing the NCAA Central Regional for the second year in a row. The regional championship marked the Tigers’ sixth overall, and the Super Six berth was the team’s second straight. LSU has now made 25-consecutive postseason appearances.
Track & Field
The Tigers earned a pair of top-five finishes in NCAA competition with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships followed by a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Lady Tigers finished sixth nationally during both the indoor and outdoor seasons while earning a pair of runner-up team finishes at the SEC Championships.
Soccer
The LSU soccer team continued its rise to national prominence with an outstanding 2008 season in which it captured its second-straight SEC Western Division championship and earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. The Tigers recorded program bests with a 14-4-2 overall record and a 7-3-1 mark in SEC play, while they also finished second in the final SEC standings.

Tyson Jackson became the highest LSU defender to ever be picked in the NFL Draft when he was selected as the No. 3 overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2009 draft. A second team All-SEC selection, he finished his career with 122 tackles and 18.5 sacks while leading the Tigers to a fourth-straight bowl victory in the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl against Georgia Tech.
Jared Mitchell became LSU’s first Major League Baseball first round draft selection since 2003 when he was taken No. 23 overall by the Chicago White Sox. The junior outfielder was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2009 College World Series following the Tigers’ run to a sixth national title. Mitchell, also a wide receiver on the gridiron, became just the second athlete in school history to win national titles in multiple sports.
The consensus Player of the year for the Southeastern Conference as he led the Tigers to the regular season SEC championship with a 13-3 record. Thornton averaged over 21 points a game and would be among the quickest Tigers to 1,000 points, reaching it in less than two years.

“I had a lot of choices coming out of high school, but when I visited LSU it was different. It felt like a family with the coaches and the players. LSU was the best place for me to go. It had everything I wanted, both football and academically. The atmosphere and the coaches made me feel very comfortable around them as well as the academic people and everybody involved with the program. I was from down the road in Louisiana and could have gone anywhere to school, but I chose to stay close to home.”

“I always knew that I wanted to pursue a professional career once my eligibility was over in college, so I wanted a school that would help me reach that goal. Because of its strong reputation and tradition, I chose LSU. I wanted to go to a school that was hardworking on and off the court and that would also improve its players’ games, and I found that at LSU. Being at LSU brought the best out of me and has made me a better team player, and that has been priceless for me in the real world. I think fondly of my time on the LSU team, and I am proud to be a part of the Lady Tiger family.” “It was really quite an honor to be able to play for LSU. Being from Lockport, everybody down there is a big LSU fan. Once I graduated from high school and had to make the decision where I was going to play, LSU was the obvious choice because I had grown up an LSU fan and it was a place where my family could watch me play. LSU really helped me grow both as a player and a person. I have nothing but fond memories of the place.”

Dr. Michael V. Martin Chancellor, LSU
Dr. Michael V. Martin assumed the chancellorship of Louisiana State University and A&M College on August 1, 2008. Prior to his appointment as LSU’s eighth chancellor, Dr. Martin established a distinguished career in higher education, serving most recently as president of New Mexico State University. Before arriving at NMSU in 2004, Dr. Martin served for six years as vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida, leading the university’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. He was elevated to senior vice president of the University of Florida shortly before being selected as NMSU’s president. Previously, he was vice president for agricultural policy and the dean of the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at the University of Minnesota. He began his academic career at Oregon State University as a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. An academic leader dedicated to the land-grant mission, Dr. Martin is recognized as a strong voice for higher education. In 2007, he received the Justin Smith Morrill Memorial Award, named after the author of the bill creating land-grant universities, which honors outstanding service on behalf of the land-grant mission. Only six individuals have been designated to receive this award since it was first given in 1980.

An active scholar, Dr. Martin has authored numerous book chapters and articles for academic journals, trade publications and the popular press and recently published pieces for The Chronicle of Higher Education and University Business. Some of his philosophy is summed up in the following quote: “It is the tradition of land-grant universities to be non-traditional,” written as part of a 2001 article titled “The Land-Grant University in the 21st Century,” published in the Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics. He traced the history of the land-grant movement from the mid-1800s and concluded that “the fundamental land-grant principles of accessibility, practical as well as classical education, research and discovery in the public interest, and connectedness to all the people remain powerful and profound.” A native of Crosby, Minn., Dr. Martin earned a bachelor’s degree in business and economics and a master’s degree in economics at Mankato State College (Minnesota State University) in Minnesota. He received his Ph.D. in applied economics from the University of Minnesota in 1977. Dr. Martin and his wife, Jan, have two children, both adopted from South Korea. Amanda, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, is a graphic artist in Saint Paul, Minn.

LSU INTRO THIS IS LSU
LSU Director of Athletics
preview coaches
Joe Alleva enters his second year as LSU’s Director of Athletics after being hired to lead one of the nation’s most powerful athletic programs on April 4, 2008. Alleva joined LSU after 10 years of outstanding leadership as the director of athletics at Duke University. He officially took over at LSU on July 1, 2008. Under Alleva’s guidance in 2008-09, LSU reached new heights in terms of athletic success while continuing to be recognized as one of the top enterprises in college athletics. A veteran leader in college athletics, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence. He is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva, 56, is well-respected for sustaining high standards of excellence and integrity in athletic programs, hiring the finest coaches in the country and the high level of success achieved by studentathletes. Under Alleva’s direction, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA post-season play for the first time in school history, and it culminated with the baseball team winning the national championship. In addition, six teams finished in the top 10 nationally. The Tigers hold claim to being the only school in the Southeastern Conference to participate in a bowl game and the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments during 2008-09. Furthermore, LSU student-athletes volunteered a total of 2,360 hours for community service projects. LSU earned a ninth-place ranking in the 2009 Learfield Director’s Cup, which measures the overall athletic success for institutions across the country. LSU was second only to Florida in the Director’s Cup among SEC institutions as the Tigers accumulated points in 18 of a possible 20 categories in the standings, also a first for the school. Upon being hired at LSU, Alleva immediately made an impact by hiring Trent Johnson to lead the men’s basketball program. Johnson, the 2009 SEC Coach of the Year, wasted little time in turning the Tigers into a winner as LSU claimed the 2009 SEC regular season title and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. LSU also had top 10 national finishes in gymnastics, men’s and women’s indoor track and field and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. Thirteen of LSU’s 20 sports finished the year ranked among the top 25 in the nation. The Tiger football team capped its season with a record ninth-straight bowl appearance as LSU closed out 2008 with a 38-3 win over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. During the offseason, Alleva helped secure the funding necessary for the addition of a state-of-the-art artificial turf practice field, which compliments the surface the Tigers have in their indoor practice facility. The addition of the outdoor artificial turf field gives the LSU football program one of the nation’s finest all-around facilities. Not only did LSU teams set records but so did
the fans as more than 1.5 million fans filled venues on the LSU campus. LSU set the school record for overall attendance in the sports of football, baseball and softball. Alleva oversaw the grand opening of two of the premier baseball and softball facilities in college athletics, Alex Box Stadium and Tiger Park. LSU also broke ground on a basketball practice facility that will house both the men’s and women’s basketball teams starting in December of this year. The new basketball practice facility will feature two
full-length courts as well as locker rooms and other amenities for both squads. In addition, LSU opened a new gift center for its fans – the LSU SportsShop. The LSU SportsShop, a spectacular, free-standing facility that features the latest in LSU apparel and merchandise, is located adjacent to Mike’s Habitat. Under Alleva’s guidance, LSU has one of the most lucrative apparel and shoe contracts with Nike while also having one of the nation’s most attractive multimedia rights contracts with CBS Collegiate Sports Properties. LSU athletic budget is now approaching $85 million, which allows the university to compete at the highest level in the nation. Alleva has a long-term vision for continued improvements to LSU’s athletic facilities in order to insure that the Tigers are among the best in the country well into the 21st Century. One of his top priorities is the enhancement of Tiger Stadium and making Tiger Stadium and the North Stadium Drive corridor a showplace for the university. Alleva’s innovative plan is to make a plaza area between the

lady TIGERS REVIEW History
Maravich Assembly Center and Tiger Stadium that would recognize LSU’s national championship teams and distinguished alumni. This special area, along with Mike’s Habitat, and the LSU SportsShop, would become the focal point for visitors to campus. Alleva is also pursuing a major renovation to the golf course at the University Club and is developing plans for a new gymnastics practice facility, indoor tennis center and improved soccer and track facilities. “Joe Alleva brings a wealth of experience and accomplishment to LSU,” LSU President John Lombardi said of hiring Alleva. “I’m confident we’ve found a new leader for LSU athletics who exemplifies the vision and integrity needed to lead our sports programs to new heights, a champion of student athletes who believes in the highest standards of competition both on the field and in the classroom.” Alleva’s impressive tenure as director of athletics at Duke propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Also, his fundraising reached extensive heights providing new facilities or renovations for all 26 sports at Duke, which enhanced the experience for every student-athlete. Alleva is active on the national collegiate athletics scene, having served on the Football Bowl Certification Committee. He sat on several Atlantic Coast Conference committees and served on the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. Alleva majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. Alleva began his 32-year career at Duke University in 1976. He spent 28 years in the athletic administration prior to becoming director of athletics in 1998. Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham more than 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program Alleva is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff and Jenny.

One of the true legends of college football in the South, Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss 3-0 in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for the 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful 11-year professional career.

About LSU Retired Jerseys
The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald and Macklin comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

A legend in the college baseball ranks, Bertman created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an assistant on the gold medal-winning U.S. squad in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from coaching following the 2001 season and is the LSU athletics director emeritus. Bertman was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
Tommy Casanova is the only threetime All-American in the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During his Tiger career from 1969-71, Casanova personified versatility for his myriad of talents as he played offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while earning his medical degree.

The Southeastern Conference The Southeastern Conference men’s and women’s tennis programs continue to be among the nation’s leaders on the collegiate hardcourt, and the trend continued this past season. The conference made another strong national showing in 2009 as the Georgia women advanced the semifinals and the Georgia men reached the quarterfinals at the 2009 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships in College Station, Texas. On the women’s side, the Bulldogs made it to the semifinals before being defeated by the national champion Duke team, 3-2. This marked the 24th-straight
year that at least one SEC team advanced to the national semifinals. All six of the SEC’s national team titles have come in the last 17 years with Florida’s four (1992, 1996, 1998 and 2003) and Georgia’s two (1994 and 2000). In the singles tournament, Arkansas’s Aurelija Miseviciute made it to the quarterfinals, and Georgia’s Chelsey Gullickson reached the semifinals. In doubles, the teams of Kristi Boxx/Karen Nijssen, Ole Miss; Marrit Boonstra/Joanna Mather, Florida; and Carolina Escamilla/ Caroline Lilley, Kentucky all made it to the Round of 16 while Natalie
Pluskota/Caitlin Whoriskey, Tennessee advanced to the semifinals. 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 Nicktitas won back-toback 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.

SEC Commissioner
Michael L. Slive
The office of the commissioner was formed in 1940 in Jackson due to the great amount of detail work developing, especially in recruiting and eligibility. Former Mississippi Governor Martin S. Conner took office as commissioner Aug. 21, 1940. Conner later became ill and the secretary of the conference, Dean N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee, served as acting commissioner during the fall of 1946. The office moved to Birmingham with the appointing of Bernie H. Moore as the second full-time commissioner on Feb. 21, 1948. Moore, a former LSU coach, guided the SEC to national respect in his 18-year tenure. A.M. (Tonto) Coleman succeeded Moore upon his retirement April 1, 1966. The Alabama native, who was reared in Texas and experienced in athletic coaching and administration, served six and a half years. Dr. H. Boyd McWhorter, then Dean of Arts and Sciences at Georgia, secretary of the league since 1967, accepted the position upon the retirement of Coleman Aug. 1, 1972. Under his leadership the SEC experienced unparalleled growth. In McWhorter’s
first year the SEC distributed $1.57 million and 14 years later (1986), the league distributed $15 million in revenue to the member institutions. Dr. Harvey W. Schiller, an Air Force colonel and faculty chair at the U. S. Air Force Academy, followed McWhorter upon retirement, taking office Sept. 15, 1986. Under his guidance the SEC established itself as a leader in the areas of athletic scholarship and marketing. Roy F. Kramer succeeded Schiller on Jan. 10, 1990. Kramer, who has served on numerous NCAA committees, joined the league office after spending 12 years as athletic director at Vanderbilt. Kramer held the office of Commissioner for more than 12 years before retiring in the summer of 2002. Michael L. Slive, who served as Commissioner of Conference USA for seven years, was appointed the seventh Commissioner of the Southeastern Conference on July 2, 2002.

2010 Preview
LSU INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW coaches lady TIGERS REVIEW History
With the loss of an unforgettable senior class, the young LSU women’s tennis team finds itself in a season to build upon. Last season’s starting lineup included three seniors who were considered some of the most experienced and talented players to ever pick up a racket for LSU. For the past three seasons, the No. 1 spot was filled by Megan Falcon who ended her Lady Tiger career as arguably one of the best competitors in the nation and the program’s storied history. With a three-time singles All-American at No. 1, Mykala Hedberg played consistently at No. 2 where she clinched clutch matches and paired with Falcon, dominated in doubles. After sitting out her senior fall campaign recovering from injury, Staten Spencer gave tremendous effort every time she stepped foot on the court as she played an integral part in the wins over conference foes. How does a new team fill these roles? With the traditions and lessons the 2009 seniors left behind, those that remain finished as a No. 24 nationally ranked team and, with their experience, must step up and help lead a 14th-ranked freshmen class to success
on and off the courts. Without a doubt, the 2009-10 team has thus far shown the greatest potential that head coach Tony Minnis has seen in his tenure at LSU.
THE SENIORS The 2010 team is led by a threemember senior class, who has dealt with their fair share of adversity. This group has been on three NCAA tournament teams, and the trio has no plans of ending that trend. “These seniors have been great. They’ve improved every season since they were freshmen. They’ve done extremely well in tennis and academically. They’ve been great role models for the rest of the players,” said head coach Tony Minnis. “The goal I have is to send them out on the right note. We put a lot of our identity as a team on the seniors, and this group meets that persona.” Nicole Kantor has been a steady force for the Lady Tigers for the past three seasons. The St. Louis, Mo., native was the 18th-ranked recruit in the nation coming out of high school and has played consistently in the middle of
2010 LSU woMEN’S TENNIS media guide
the lineup at the No. 3 and 4 positions. Finishing second on the team in singles wins last season with 25, the coaches and players will count on Kantor to be competitive as always and strong in pressure situations. “Kantor’s had a great three years. She’s very consistent and competes hard. She’s evolved into a solid doubles player. We have to keep her focused on improving because the competitiveness is there,” Minnis said. Sloane Mathis is a walk-on from New Orleans, La., but provides depth and maturity to a very young team. Mathis has been a great contributor to the Lady Tigers, but, more importantly, she has been an outstanding encourager since the day she stepped on the courts. Her experience has made her tougher mentally and physically, and with Mathis on hand and ready to play when needed, the team is sure to find success. “Sloane has shown some glimpses of a lot of promise. She has become tougher mentally and is competing better. I think she will be able to contribute if called upon during the season,” said Minnis.

2010 Preview Hannah Robinson was a top-rated recruit like Kantor when she joined the Lady Tigers in 2006, and the Monroe, La., product wasted no time in making a huge impact on the program. As a sophomore, Robinson was named to the All-SEC Second Team and showed no sign of slowing down. Since then, she has dealt with injury but has recuperated and only looks forward. “Hannah was on the right path to move into a possible No. 1 position. She was All-SEC two years ago, and it would be nice if we could get her back to her form where she was a year and a half ago because she was playing some unbelievable tennis,” Minnis said.
THE JUNIOR LSU’s solo junior Kylie Adamek, like Mathis, is a walk-on but shows promise with each passing season. Adamek claimed solid wins in the fall and shows great improvement and is another option for a singles or doubles spot when needed. The Lady Tigers will rely heavily on Adamek’s optimism and support throughout the season. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement with Kylie from last season to this season. She played pretty well in the fall and had a couple of good wins,” said Minnis. “I see a lot more maturity. She’s making some good strides in improving her game.”
THE SOPHOMORE The Lady Tigers’ lone sophomore, Whitney Wolf, was ranked the No. 1 player coming out of Louisiana by tennisrecruiting.net when she signed with LSU and has risen to the occasion ever since. The Pride, La., native finished a fantastic fall as she led the Lady Tigers with a 10-3 tournament record, with one of those victories over a nationally ranked opponent. Wolf made an immediate impact at the middle of the lineup in singles last season and is expected to climb to the top. With her fight and powerful serve, this Lady Tiger is certainly a force to be reckoned with. “Whitney is unbelievable. I think she could be one of the best players in the country. She’s matured a lot from last year. She’s had an outstanding fall. Her potential is limitless. She needs more experience and to continue working on her game and getting better,” Minnis said.
THE FRESHMEN Minnis and assistant coach Lisa Jackson welcomed three freshmen to the lineup for the 2009-10 season, and the three have already made serious

Whitney Wolf
contributions to the success of the team. “The freshmen bring so much enthusiasm to our team. I think they’re pretty talented. I’m really excited about this class. Their attitudes are great; they’re hungry and spirited. They should bring a lot to our team,” said Minnis. Kaitlin Burns was a five-star recruit who was listed at No. 52 in tennisrecruiting.net’s top-100 players when she committed to LSU. Burns reached as high as No. 3 in the state of North Carolina and earned All-America honors from the National High School Tennis All-American Foundation after her junior season. Both Minnis and Jackson believe Burns’ contributions are necessary for the team to achieve success. “Kaitlin is a player that I think will skyrocket. I was really impressed with her fall performance,” Minnis said. “Coming from the juniors, she’s made some tremendous jumps, and if she continues to improve like she did in the fall, she’s going to have an unbelievable career here at LSU.” Keri Frankenberger signed with LSU as a four-star recruit and rated as high as No. 86 in the nation by tennisrecruiting.net. The Gainesville, Fla., native competed in the 64-seed ITA Collegiate Summer Circuit hosted by Florida State and defeated sophomore Wolf to win the championship. The eager freshman suffered an injury in 2010 LSU woMEN’S TENNIS media guide
the fall but is recovered and ready to compete. Frankenberger is expected to be a fresh ingredient in both the singles and doubles lineup. “Keri is one of the best doubles players I’ve seen. She’s instinctive and talented. It’s unfortunate she had an injury. She’s got unbelievable upside and a tremendous amount of potential,” said Minnis. Newcomer Ebie Wilson hails from Mobile, Ala., and comes to the Lady Tigers as a five-star recruit. Wilson checked in as Alabama’s top-ranked player and ranked No. 44 nationally by tennisrecruiting.net. Already this fresh face has shined in collegiate tennis as she captured her first tournament title in the fall. With her phenomenal work ethic, this tennis player is sure to blossom in her career at LSU. “Ebie is solid as a rock in every area. She competes really hard and works hard. Her game is getting better and better. I think she’s going to do really well at LSU,” Minnis said.
A STRONG SLATE Once again, the regular season will be challenging for LSU as it faces 14 opponents who competed in the NCAA Tournament. “In our sport, it’s not as much about your record as it is quality wins,” Minnis explains. “We’re limited by the NCAA to 25 dates a season, so that’s why it’s important for us to go out and
2010 Preview
LSU INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW coaches lady TIGERS REVIEW History
Seniors Sloane Mathis, Hannah Robinson, and Nicole Kantor
play the best teams in the country year-in and year-out.” There is no arguing that the SEC is one of the toughest conferences in the nation. With the league placing 10 teams in the top-30 and the other two finishing in the top-75, the Lady Tigers will face strong competition week-in and week-out. Not only will conference foes be a test, but the non-conference matches prove to be some of the toughest the Lady Tigers have ever faced. At home and on the road, the Lady Tigers will face some of the most elite programs in the nation. According to Minnis, the purpose of making such a tough schedule is to prepare the team for its ultimate goal – post-season action. “We’ve got a tough schedule, period. On the road, we play top-10 teams. At home, we face equal competition. It’s going to be really tough, but our schedule makes us better because we will be in a situation where the girls will see every time they step on the court what it takes to play at a certain level,” said Minnis.
HIGH EXPECTATIONS With a successful 2009 season in the past, the Lady Tigers look forward to a season of new challenges and another strong run at the NCAA Tournament. Take a hungry team with a testing schedule, and it is no wonder there are high hopes for this group in 2010. “The goal that I have for the team is to do things correctly on a consistent basis, and I think the rest will take care of itself,” Minnis said. “Our main focus is to compete in the NCAA Tournament and make it to the Sweet 16.” With the talent, ambition and upside shown, this Lady Tiger squad is not one to be taken lightly.

Tony Minnis enters the 2010 season as the most decorated coach in LSU’s 34-year program history. Entering his 19th season as head coach of the LSU women’s tennis team, Minnis has collected a host of accolades that make him one of the most respected coaches in the nation. In 2009, with the Lady Tigers 5-2 win over Oregon, Minnis captured his 250th-career victory and was named the Southwest Regional Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his 18-year tenure. “I don’t really think about that much,” he said. “One thing I’ve learned as a player and a coach is to instill in yourself and your team an attitude that when one thing is over you move on to the next. It’s nice to know I’ve had those accomplishments in my career here, but I try to focus on each year.” After his team finished the 2009 season ranked No. 24 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association polls with a 14-11 overall record and reached as high as No. 16, Minnis was selected as the head coach of the Southern Girls 18s National Team at the USTA National Teams Championships. The Baton Rouge native led the team to the USTA National Championship as it claimed the title for the first time since 1997. Last season, Minnis led his Lady Tiger team to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th time in his 18 seasons as he was named the Southwest Regional Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career. Minnis also received the award in 1995, 1999, 2004 and 2007. The Lady Tigers advanced to the second round of the tournament for the second consecutive season. Under Minnis’s direction, the team reached a few milestones in 2009 as the Lady Tigers defeated the Florida Gators for the first time in program history. Outside of the SEC, the Lady Tigers knocked off Texas A&M, 4-3, in College Station, Texas, for the first time since 1997. In the fall, Megan Falcon and Mykala Hedberg advanced to the finals of the ITA Southwest Regional Doubles Championships, and there the duo claimed the first championship win during the Minnis era. After a season in 2005-06 in which LSU did not make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 11 years, Minnis guided a youthful, inexperienced Lady Tiger team to the NCAA Tournament in 2006-07 as the Southeastern Conference Western Division co-champions. The 2006-07 season marked the second time LSU finished atop the SEC West standings since the conference switched to Eastern and Western divisions in 2002. More than that, Minnis led the team to the top of the SEC West standings even though three, four or sometimes five newcomers started during the season. The team also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time in Minnis’s career as LSU’s head coach. Minnis was instrumental in bringing in three-time singles All-American Falcon, who finished her sophomore season in 2007 at 38-3 and raced all the way to the semifinals of the NCAA Individual Championships. Falcon’s semifinal finish was the furthest any LSU player has reached at the NCAA Individual Championships, surpassing two other Minnis recruits – Bruna Colosio in 2000 and 2001 and Suzana Rodrigues in 1994 – who both made it

to the quarterfinals. Falcon was also named the SEC Player of the Year in 2007, the second player under Minnis to receive the honor after Colosio was selected as the league’s top player in 2001. With the conclusion of her senior campaign in 2009, Falcon ranked No. 8 on LSU’s all-time winningest players list and became the only Lady Tiger in the program to earn three singles AllAmerica honors. Besides great play on the tennis court, Minnis has also stressed hard work in the classroom, and the results have shown as the team was named an ITA All-Academic Team with a cumulative grade point average of 3.385 in the 2007-08 year. Not only was the team as a whole honored for its performance off the courts, but a school-record seven Lady Tigers were named ITA Scholar-Athletes for maintaining a grade point average of at least a 3.50. In 2009, five Lady Tigers earned ITA Scholar-Athlete accolades, and fifth-year senior Staten Spencer became the first women’s tennis player at LSU to earn an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship. Minnis returned to his hometown in 1992 to take over the LSU women’s tennis team. By earning his 80th career victory at LSU in 1997, he passed Phillip Campbell (1984-88) as the winningest women’s tennis coach in Tigers history. Minnis came to LSU knowing what it takes to excel in the sport. He was a tennis star at Southwestern Louisiana from 1984-88. He served as team captain his freshman and senior seasons and is USL’s all-time winningest singles player with an impressive 94-40 career mark. He followed his playing career with a job as an assistant tennis coach at USL as well as working as the club professional at several tennis clubs in the Lafayette, La., area. But, Minnis said, his LSU experience has taught him the most about the game. “I’ve learned a lot over my career, especially about how very, very important it is to communicate with your players,” he said. “I know the roller coasters that come with coaching and I’ve learned to take them in stride. I have been so fortunate to be in this tremendous environment at LSU because you get to learn from every single coach here. There are some great coaches and that’s the beauty of having an athletic department as good as this one.” With those years of experience and lessons has come a pile of awards and achievements for Minnis and his Lady Tigers.

In 2004, Minnis guided the team to a final ITA ranking of No. 20 in a season that included an NCAA Tournament berth, an SEC Western Division Championship and an appearance in the SEC Tournament semifinals. The Lady Tigers lost to eventual SEC Champion Florida. During the 2001 campaign, Minnis and the Lady Tigers put together a solid campaign and finished the season with a 14-10 overall record. The squad advanced to the NCAA Tournament and finished the year with a No. 27 national ranking. Bruna Colosio, who graduated after a record-breaking senior season in 2002, was one of the top five players in the nation and the 2001 SEC Player of the Year. She excelled under Minnis’ constant tutelage and received AllAmerica status in both 2000 and 2001. During an unexpected run at the NCAA Championships in 2000, Minnis led LSU to its second Sweet 16 appearance in school history. The Lady Tigers upset sixth-ranked Pepperdine, 5-4, in the second round of the tournament. The upset is considered the most impressive victory in team history. LSU fell in the Sweet 16 to USC. In 1999, Minnis was named the Southwest Regional Coach of the Year after reaching the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight season. The season was supposed to be a rebuilding one,

but Minnis led his squad to upset victories over both 10th-ranked Tennessee and 15th-ranked Arkansas on its way to a final ranking of No. 28 in the nation. In 1997, Minnis was named the SEC Coach of the Year when he led LSU to the regional finals. The Lady Tigers advanced to the championship match of the Southwest regional by beating Texas A&M, 5-0. Minnis was recognized as the Louisiana Coach of the Year for the third time in four years. Senior Suzana Rodrigues finished her career ranked fifth in all-time singles wins at 108-42 overall. She and teammate Laura Olave won the 1996 National Clay Court Doubles title. The tandem earned All-America honors after placing 10th in the final doubles rankings. LSU posted its highest national ranking ever under Minnis in April of 1995 when the Lady Tigers leapt from No. 30 to No. 15 after upsetting 11th-ranked Tennessee, 5-3, in the opening round of the NCAA Championships. The Lady Tigers fell to eventual NCAA runner-up Florida, 5-0, in round two. Minnis was named the Southwest Region and Louisiana Coach of the Year after guiding the Lady Tigers to their first-ever win at the NCAAs and their first postseason appearance since 1991. As a player, Minnis competed in the 1988 NCAA Team Championships and was a semifinalist at the NIT in 1986. He had a 37-6 three-set record in his first three seasons at USL. During his four years there, the Ragin’ Cajuns posted a 78-39 overall record and finished each year ranked in the Top 25. In his senior season, USL was ranked 15th in the final polls and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championships. Minnis comes from a family loaded with tennis experience. His father, Howard, was the head tennis coach at Southern University for several years and was a professor there before he passed away. His sister, Patricia, was a four-year letter winner at LSU from 1988-91. His brother, Patrick, was USL’s No. 1 singles player after Minnis’ departure. Minnis played high school tennis at Redemptorist in Baton Rouge. He graduated from USL in 1988 with a degree in finance and earned an MBA in 1996.

2007 Southwest Regional Assistant Coach of the Year
lady TIGERS
Lisa Jackson is entering her fifth year as assistant coach for the Lady Tigers, and she has been instrumental in the success of the LSU women’s tennis program. Last season, Jackson helped guide the Lady Tigers to their second consecutive NCAA second round appearance. Jackson has been a vital part in the recruitment process for the Lady Tigers as she traveled all over the country and world to secure top-notch players who will add to the program’s future success. In 2007-08, the team took a positive step up by advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, only one year after reaching the first round. In addition to her work with the Lady Tigers on the court, Jackson assisted in bringing in five-star Louisiana native Whitney Wolf. Before the 2006-07 season, Jackson, along with head coach Tony Minnis, reeled in the nation’s 17th-ranked recruiting class according to tennisrecruiting.net, which included current players Hannah Robinson, a four-star recruit out of Monroe, and Nicole Kantor, a five-star player from St. Louis. Not only has Jackson been an outstanding recruiter for LSU, but she has also been a hands-on coach, picking up the racket and practicing with the team to help them improve. It is not odd to see Jackson at practice volleying back and forth with a player to provide them with a practice partner for the day. Her hands-on approach helped the Lady Tigers rebound from a 12-12 season in 2005-06 to go 16-10 the following year and guide the team back to the NCAA Tournament. Because of her efforts and the team’s improvement, Jackson was awarded by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association as the 2007 Southwest Regional Assistant Coach of the Year. Jackson has also been steady at helping Minnis manage the day-to-day operations of running the program, something Jackson did when she was at UL-Lafayette. She served as the Ragin Cajuns’ associate head coach for two years before arriving in Tiger Town. “She was like a head coach at ULL, so she has brought that added experience of being a head coach,” Minnis commented on his assistant. “She has a lot of enthusiasm, and the work ethic she brings is a real positive for our program.” In her first year in Lafayette, Jackson led the ULL tennis team to a 7-14 record, a vast improvement from the team’s 1-13 finish a year before. In 2005, she went even beyond that, leading the team to a 10-9 finish, its first winning season since 2001. “I think one of the things that was so impressive and one of the major reasons I looked to hire her was what she was able to do at Lafayette,” Minnis explained. “We competed against ULL the past couple years and saw the major improvement in
the team and how much better they got in that short time span. I was very impressed with what she did for that program.” Coming all the way from her homeland of Johannesburg, South Africa, Jackson started her own college career at William Carey College in Gulfport, Miss. While there she was selected to the NAIA secondteam All-America and was also the MVP of her team. After one season she decided to transfer and made the move to the other side of Louisiana where she played for the University of Texas at Arlington for the remainder of her collegiate career. Her impressive career there included earning a top-30 national ranking in doubles, becoming a two-time recipient of the Southland Conference Player of the Year Award in 1999 and 2000 and helping her team win the Southland Conference Championship all three years. At UT-Arlington, Jackson also earned both her bachelor’s (2001) and master’s (2003) degrees in psychology. She stayed on staff at UT-Arlington as a graduate assistant with the tennis program until earning her master’s degree.

2009 Review
LSU INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW coaches lady TIGERS REVIEW History
A Season To Remember The 2008-09 season was truly a season to remember. When times were slow for the Lady Tigers, it was just an opportunity to standout and reach milestones that will be hard for future teams to top. The season was full of ups and downs, but when it was said and done, the Lady Tigers came together and made a stellar run to the NCAA Tournament once again. MAKING HISTORY LSU began the 2009 dual season with outstanding potential and a team goal to reach new heights. Under the leadership of an irreplaceable four-member senior class, the Lady Tigers faced challenges at times and turned those setbacks into stepping stones in achieving the unthinkable. The team first traveled to the West Coast to face four quality opponents over a two-week period. The Lady Tigers captured three wins while on their quest but fell short to then-third ranked UCLA in their last battle in the west. After their mountain trip
and a No. 24 national ranking at hand, the Lady Tigers claimed their homeopener against SMU and then went back on the road to face a competitive Texas A&M team at College Station. LSU picked up an epic win as the team won their first match over Texas A&M, 4-3, since 1997 after battling through two hours of rain and a facility change. With the season well underway, LSU began Southeastern Conference competition on the road but not without struggle. The Lady Tigers dropped their first two SEC challenges to Alabama and Auburn but returned home to win four matches, including the team’s first SEC victory over
then-13th ranked Kentucky. Among those victories was head coach Tony Minnis’ 250th career win, which came against Oregon. “The accomplishment meant a lot to me because I am fortunate enough to work with so many great players and coaches who have helped our teams earn that many wins,” said Minnis. The victories lifted the Lady Tigers to a No. 21 national ranking. After their four-match win streak, the Lady Tigers hit a slump when they fell to Georgia at home and Tennessee on the road. Disappointed with only one conference win on the season, the team welcomed the Florida Gators to Baton Rouge for their
2010 LSU woMEN’S TENNIS media guide
last weekend of home competition. The Lady Tigers jumped ahead early to claim the lead as they clinched the doubles point. After five hours of playing a phenomenal match, Megan Falcon clinched LSU’s first victory over the Gators, 4-3. Entering the match, the Gators held a 34-0 series record over the Lady Tigers. Later that weekend, LSU made history for the third time in 2009 as it hosted South Carolina for its final home match. The seniors were honored for their contributions to the program as the day served as Senior Day. The Lady Tigers triumphed in a grueling, fivehour duel where the three seniors competing won their singles matches, and junior Nicole Kantor provided the match-clinching point as the Lady Tigers captured their third-ever victory over the Gamecocks. With a weekend sweep on

its record and its highest national ranking of the season, No. 16 LSU played on the road for its final three matches of the regular season and looked to keep its momentum in full swing. The Lady Tigers dropped their matches to Ole Miss and Mississippi State on Easter weekend and then lost to Arkansas. The regular season ended with Arkansas, and postseason competition began. The team looked to bounce back in a rematch against Ole Miss at the SEC Tournament, but the Lady Tigers fell short to the Rebels. After falling in the SEC Tournament, LSU would not stay down long as the team was sent back out west to Palo Alto, Calif., to challenge Long Beach State for the second consecutive season. The Lady Tigers defeated the 49ers, 6-1, in 2008 and repeated in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. The Lady Tigers won their match, 4-0, and their next test was against an overlooked No. 13 Stanford team. The Cardinal entered the match with incredible talent and momentum as their 150 home match win-streak was on the line. LSU’s run ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and the team was not able to snap that streak as Stanford took over the Lady Tigers, 4-0. “I don’t think I’ve ever dealt with a team that went through that much adversity and still prospered,” said head coach Tony Minnis. “I think it was as good of a year from beginning to end as we’ve had in awhile.”

INDIVIDUAL HIGHLIGHTS Not only did the team make history and have amazing success, but several Lady Tigers excelled individually. Megan Falcon became the first Lady Tiger to earn three AllAmerica honors in singles. She amassed a 34-8 record, including a 19-3 dual record and 17-8 mark against ranked opponents. Falcon began her senior campaign strong in the fall as she defeated NCAA Champion Amanda McDowell to capture the ITA Indoor Tournament
title. Later, partnered with Mykala Hedberg, the duo claimed the ITA Southwest Regional Doubles Championship for the first time under Minnis. The Alameda, Calif., native rose to the occasion when she defeated Marrit Boonstra of Florida to clinch LSU’s first-ever triumph over the Gators. It was the only match Falcon clinched all season, and it was the first time in her career in which the outcome of a match rested on her racket. Falcon showed her potential and as a result was unanimously named to
Staten Spencer

the All-SEC First Team for the third consecutive season. She was also honored as the Louisiana Player of the Year for the third straight season, and she made the NCAA Tournament in both singles and doubles for the second straight season as well. “Megan is one of the greatest competitors I’ve ever seen,” said Minnis. “She represented LSU well as one of the greatest tennis players in the country.” Falcon was not the only Lady Tiger to shine on the court as Nicole Kantor served as one of LSU’s most consistent players. Her unique playing style enabled her to finish second on the team in singles wins and third in doubles wins while clinching a team-high four matches. “Kantor stepped up tremendously and clinched key matches for us last season,” Minnis said. “She was one of those players that we could consistently count on for a point.” Hedberg completed her campaign as one of LSU’s most prolific doubles players. With 87 doubles wins in her career, including 27 in 2009 and eight ranked wins, Hedberg and Falcon garnered a No. 19 national ranking and were ranked as high as No. 14.
TRUE STUDENT-ATHLETES Five Lady Tigers were awarded for their successes in the classroom with ITA-Scholar Athlete honors. Megan Falcon, Nicole Kantor, Sloane Mathis, Hannah Robinson and Staten Spencer all earned the academic accolade for possessing at least a 3.50 GPA while lettering last season. Falcon completed her senior year with a second ScholarAthlete honor, while Kantor, Mathis and Robinson earned their third. For the first time in the program’s history, an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship was bestowed upon Spencer for her outstanding work in the classroom and her undeniable leadership on and off the tennis courts. In 2009, she competed as a fifth-year senior and completed her first year of graduate school in Economics at LSU. After she earns her master’s degree, Spencer plans to help build and strengthen the economies of African countries. The Memphis, Tenn., native earned her fifthconsecutive ITA-Scholar Athlete award and became the only Lady Tiger in the program’s history to achieve this accomplishment. “For Staten to balance academics and tennis and to excel in both just says a lot about the person she is,” said Minnis.

1976 Lady Tigers: Inaugural Season
Tennis HISTORY
In the fall of 1973 the Lady Tigers tennis team was formed as a club sport with Pat Newman as head coach and Jay McCreary as the Coordinator of Club Sports. The fledgling program began with eight players who bought their own racquets and balls. It has since developed into a national collegiate tennis power over the decades. From the early days of limited schedules and funding, the Lady Tigers have come a long way, becoming a dominant tennis power in the state of Louisiana and making its presence known regionally and nationally. In 1975, the Lady Tigers signed their first collegiate player to an athletic scholarship for the following season, acquiring Ann Ellis from Houston, Texas. Next was Karen McCarter, a walk-on from a big tennis family in Shreveport, La. The following year, Kay McDaniel, another Shreveport product, and Elizabeth Palfrey of Baton Rouge joined the Lady Tiger family and LSU was on its way to becoming a national power, finishing in the top 20 in the nation for the first time. The Lady Tigers experienced an outstanding recruiting season in 197677, signing the No. 1-ranked player in the South in Ebie Taylor of Mobile, Ala. From Texas came two outstanding players in Lisa Boettcher of Pasadena and Carol Reger of Fort Worth. With those players, LSU won the state championship, placed in the top 10 in nationals and produced the first Lady Tiger All-Americans in tennis, Kay McDaniel and Ebie Taylor. The program has continued to escalate, including finishing in the top 30 in the final rankings 10 times since the 1990s.

Women’s Tennis
All-Americans In its 33-year history, the LSU women’s tennis program has produced an All-American 12 times. Only three years after the official inaugural season, two Lady Tigers were named All-Americans in 1978 in Ebie Taylor and Kay McDaniel, Nos. 2 and 12 on the all-time wins list at LSU, respectively. Sixteen years later, the next selection came in the form of Suzana Rodrigues, who earned her status as a singles All-American as a freshman in 1994. Fifth on the list of all-time wins, Rodrigues was named an All-American again as a senior in 1997, that year receiving recognition for her outstanding doubles play. Her partner Laura Olave shared the All-America distinction that year. Another pair was recognized as All-Americans in 2000 when Bruna Colosio and Ana Paula Mores won the award. Fittingly, they each ended their careers with the same number of match wins, 97, which places them in a tie for eighth on the all-time wins list. Colosio was named a singles All-American again in 2001, finishing her career as one of the top players to wear the Purple and Gold.
Megan Falcon
2007 ITA Singles All-American 2008 ITA Singles All-American 2009 ITA Singles all-american LSU’s latest All-American, Megan Falcon had arguably the most successful season in Lady Tiger history as a sophomore in 2006-07. The Alameda, Calif., native made her debut as a Lady Tiger last season by reeling off win after win at the ITA All-American Championships in the fall. By the time the tournament ended for Falcon, she had defeated nine ranked opponents, including five in the top 50. After a fast start in the fall, Falcon began last spring ranked No. 2 in the nation. Through all of LSU’s dual season matches playing at the No. 1 spot in singles, Falcon went 24-0 and ran her record to an amazing 34-2 heading into the NCAA Individual Championships. Accomplishing something no other Lady Tiger had ever done before, Falcon raced to the semifinals of the championships, only dropping one set along the way. En route to the final four, Falcon knocked off four ranked opponents, pushing her record against ranked adversaries to 26-2 on the year. However, Falcon’s pursuit of the individual national championship was denied when USC’s Lindsey Nelson beat her, 7-6(2), 6-2. Overall, Falcon finished 38-3 and tied for seventh in school history with 38 wins in a single season. After an amazing individual season, Falcon deservingly received several accolades. She was named an ITA All-American in singles finishing ranked No. 2 in the nation, the 2007 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, First Team All-SEC, Southwest Regional Player to Watch, ITA National Co-Player to Watch, Honda Award Finalist, LSWA Louisiana Player of the Year and the LSWA Newcomer of the Year. One season later in 2007-08, Falcon followed up on her brilliant sophomore campaign by earning a second singles All-American honor. To open the fall season Falcon was ranked No. 1 in the nation - the first Lady Tiger to be crowned as the nation’s top singles player. For the second straight season Falcon led LSU in wins with a 27-7 record including 12 victories over ranked opponents, and she finished the year ranked No. 15. Falcon again captured the ITA All-American Championships consolation title in the fall. Just like in 2007, Falcon earned FirstTeam All-SEC honors and was named LSWA Louisiana Player of the Year as well as earning ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition for the first time in her career. For her senior campaign, Falcon completed her incredible run at LSU listing eighth on the program’s all-times wins list with a 99-18 career record. The three-time Louisiana Player of the Year earned her third-consecutive singles All-America honors, while also being unanimously named to the FirstTeam All SEC for the third-straight season.

Kay McDaniel, who played for LSU from 1975-79, racked up 92 wins in a Lady Tigers uniform, a number that places her 12th on the list of all-time winningest players in LSU women’s tennis history. She is also third on the list of match wins in a single season with 43 in 1977-78. McDaniel became the first LSU women’s tennis All-America selection, along with Ebie Taylor, in 1978, a year that saw the Lady Tigers go 19-5 and earn the title of Louisiana AIAW Champion. She next toured the professional courts from 1980-86, competing against such players as Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf. She once ranked as high as No. 30 in singles (1983) and No. 20 in doubles (1986). The United States Tennis Association Tennessee Hall of Fame named McDaniel to its list of 2005 inductees, and she was honored at a banquet Feb. 5, 2005, at the Nashville Marriott in Nashville, Tenn.
