As a team, the Hurricanes rolled off an impressive 16-0 record at home in 2008-09, while also registering 12 consecutive victories leading into the ACC Tournament championship match. In 2007-08, Miami finished with a 17-6 overall mark, snapping a string of four consecutive 20-win seasons. But, leave it up to Yaroshuk-Tews to master that into a great season. In postseason play, the Hurricanes flourished to yet another Regional title (Coral Gables, Fla.) en route to a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament before bowing out to No. 5 Baylor in Tulsa, Okla. The Hurricanes ended the season ranked No. 14 in the nation and No. 4 in the South region. In that 2007-08 Sweet 16 march, Miami may-well have played one of their toughest schedule in recent years. The ‘Canes faced off against 18 nationallyranked foes on the year, walking away with a 12-6 record against top-notch competition. Those teams include opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), which boasts one of the toughest conferences annually with almost every team ranked somewhere in the ITA polls at some point every season. The biggest accomplishment, however, may have been on Apr. 12 when the Hurricanes defeated No. 45 North Carolina State, 6-1, in Coral Gables to collect their 14th win of the year. With that win, history was made as Yaroshuk-Tews etched her name as the winningest coach in program history with 132 career victories, moving past former UM coach Ivan Duvenhage who spent seven seasons in Coral Gables from “My goal is to get this team 1982 through the 1988 season.

The Hurricanes went 5-3 against teams ranked among the Top 10. Of UM’s big wins under Yaroshuk-Tews, the Hurricanes defeated then No. 3 Texas before capturing a win over their second third-ranked opponent, North Carolina. In the regular season finale, Miami took down ACC rival, seventh-ranked Duke. With the goal to remain on a winning path, Yaroshuk-Tews guided her team to the NCAA tournament where they upset second-ranked Notre Dame in the quarterfinals and third-ranked Southern California in the semifinals. Miami ended its impressive run at the NCAA Tournament with a 4-1 loss to two-time defending champion and top seeded Stanford in the championship final.

Miami had not defeated the Gators since the 1986 season. The Hurricanes ultimately advanced to the sweet sixteen for the first time since 1999 and defeated No. 11 Tulane, 4-1, to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since the 1986 season.

Over the summer, Thomsen aided in bringing in top recruits Danielle Mills and sophomore transfer Anna Bartenstein. Mills was a highly-rated recruit from Bradenton, Fla., while Bartenstein was a top player at Tulane University before deciding to transfer to the University of Miami. “I am extremely excited for the future at the University of Miami,” states Thomsen. “The core group of girls that we have brought in, along with our outstanding juniors and seniors, “I am extremely excited for Paige [Yaroshuk-Tews] and I feel as if the future at the university this team can do some great things as long as we stay focused and con- of Miami.

In just one season at the helm of the OCC program, Thomsen helped to turn around the Pirates’ program from the prior year. In 2005-06, the Pirates of OCC had a losing record, but under the direction of Thomsen, they were able to establish themselves as a state playoff contender and finish among the top eight in the final rankings. Prior to his stint at OCC, Thomsen spent time on the high school ranks, serving as head boys’ varsity coach and head girls’ junior varsity coach at Newport Harbor High School in his hometown of Newport Beach, Calif. In a short matter of time, Thomsen quickly established the Sailors’ program as a legitimate tennis force. In his time as head coach, Thomsen led the Sailors boys’ varsity team to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section playoffs four out of five years. In 2004, the team finished fifth out of 16 participating teams at the All-American High School Tournament in Southern California. He also ran a successful women’s program, guiding the Sailors to three undefeated seasons from 2002-2005. Thomsen also co-founded the Latin American Sports Camp in Buenos Aires, Argentina in February of 2000, and served as the camp’s director in its first year of operation. He also has six years of experience as a private instructor in California where he trained and developed both professional players and nationally-ranked juniors. After reaching the No. 1 ranking in the state at Golden West Junior College in Huntington Beach, Calif., Thomsen was offered a scholarship to the attend and play tennis at the University of Oregon in Eugene. At Oregon, Thomsen lettered two seasons for the Ducks before graduation in 1999 with a degree in Sociology. Upon graduation, Thomsen played on a satellite tour in South America before moving in coaching in 2001.

With a deep understanding of the game; a commitment to excellence; and an undying desire to produce quality student-athletes on and off the court, this will be the third year for Jeff Thomsen as part of the University of Miami women’s tennis program in the form of assistant coach. His duties at UM include, but are not limited to, organizing practices, assisting with player development and recruiting. In his first season at Miami, Thomsen helped in the continued development of an All-America performer in Laura Vallverdu (a two-time All-American for the Hurricanes). He was also part of helping the Hurricanes enjoy a trip to their 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament while riding into the Round of 16. The team enjoyed a stellar 17-6 overall record in 2007-08 while Vallverdu also captured All-ACC honors as a sophomore. “One thing that I’ve always preached throughout my coaching career has been one essential philosophy,” comments Thomsen. “I believe each girl has her own playing style, and as coaches we have to develop them not only as a player, but as a human being as well.”

The following season Applebaum returned to USTA Doubles finals with teammate Kim Sands; the duo finished second. • The 1985 squad earned a trip to the NCAA team finals and finished the year as the nation's No. 2 ranked team. That team also posted a record of 29-6, marking the best dual match mark in the program’s history at the time. • The 1986 squad went 19-4 and advanced to the NCAA semifinals before finishing the year with a No. 3 national ranking. • In 2004, the Hurricanes stunned the No. 1 ranked University of Florida Gators at the NCAA Regionals in Gainesville, Fla. The win, which is seen as arguably the biggest upset in women’s tennis history, was also the first time the Hurricanes defeated the Gators since the 1986 season. Miami advanced to the Elite Eight after defeating No. 11 Tulane, 4-1, in the Sweet sixteen. The Hurricanes fell to No. 8 UCLA, 4-3, to finish the season ranked 15th in the country. • That same season, Megan Bradley became the first Miami player to advance to the semifinals
since the 1988 season at the 2004 NCAA Singles Tennis Championship. During her run in the NCAA tournament Bradley improved her record to 37-6 to become the all-time single season win leader at Miami. • In 2005, Bradley was seeded first in the NCAA Singles Championship after posting a dominating 43-1 overall record her senior season. Despite falling in the Round of 32, Bradley finished with a 44-2 overall mark—a UM single season record. Bradley and sophomore Audrey Bañada were seeded third heading into the NCAA Doubles Championship where they reached the Quarterfinals for the first time since Paula Iverson and Marietta Verbruggen did so in 1992. • Also in 2005, Ronnie Reis and Lise Gregory became the first Miami players to capture an ITA National Indoor Championship doubles title. The following year, they cemented their names in the history books with Miami’s first ever NCAA doubles title. • Miami returned to the top of the collegiate tennis world in 2006 when the Hurricanes reached the NCAA finals for the first time in 21 years. The Hurricanes become only the second Atlantic Coast Conference team, joining Duke’s 1998 squad, to compete in the NCAA final. Though Miami fell to Stanford, 4-1, the Hurricanes had been on a tear since the onset of the NCAA Tournament. After sweeping

through the Coral Gables Regional, Miami reached the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time since 2004 with a 4-1 victory over 23rdranked Fresno State in the Round of 16. Miami then defeated No. 2 seed Notre Dame, 4-0 in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinal for the first time since 1986. The Hurricanes then topped third-seeded USC, 4-1, to advance to the NCAA final. Sophomore Audra Cohen became Miami’s second-consecutive No. 1 overall seed for the singles championship and paired up with senior Melissa Applebaum as the doubles tournament No. 2 overall seed. Though Cohen was upset in the Round of 16, Miami’s Applebaum/Cohen duo reached the NCAA doubles quarterfinals. Miami reached the quarterfinals for the third time in four years in 2007 but the story for UM was Audra Cohen, who won the NCAA Singles title for the fist time in the history of the UM women’s tennis program. In 2008, the Hurricanes made it 13 consecutive seasons advancing to the NCAA Tournament, hosting and claiming the Coral Gables Regional with wins over Quinnipiac and No. 22 Notre Dame. It was also Miami’s third consecutive trip to at least the Round of 16. The 2009 Hurricanes had three players earn All-America honors, while UM advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the fourth time in the last six years. Laura Vallverdu advanced to the NCAA Singles Championship match.

Donna E. Shalala became the fifth President of the University of Miami on June 1, 2001. President Shalala is an accomplished scholar, teacher, and administrator whose career has been marked by a variety of leadership positions reflecting her interest in young people. While attending college, she played tennis and still plays a competitive game of doubles. She also enjoys golf, skiing, and other outdoor activities. Recognizing that first-rate facilities are a key part of achieving success on the field, last year Hurricanes football embarked in an exciting new chapter with the move to Land Shark Stadium. This state-of-the-art complex offers both players and fans world-class amenities that are unparalleled in college sports. In 1987 President Shalala, a distinguished political scientist, became chancellor of a Big Ten university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She led what was then the nation’s largest public research university. In 1992 Business Week magazine named her one of the top five managers in higher education, and in 2005 was named one of “America’s Best Leaders” by U.S. News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. President Shalala’s success at Wisconsin was reflected in athletics as well. She hired a new football coach, recruiting Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame. Four years later, Wisconsin won the Big Ten football championship and represented its conference in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 30 years. President Shalala served on the first Knight Commission, a committee to review college athletics, and has served on the board of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Foundation. In May 2008 she was selected as an Independent Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation. In 1993, she was named U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years, becoming the nation’s longest-serving HHS Secretary. In 2000 she led the official U.S. delegation to the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Post described her as “one of the most successful government managers of modern times.” In 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush called upon her healthcare expertise to co-chair the Commission on Care for Returning Wounded Warriors, to evaluate how wounded service members transition from active duty to civilian society. In June 2008, President Bush presented her with the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, at a ceremony in the White House. The medal recognizes exceptional meritorious service to individuals who have contributed to national security, world peace, or cultural endeavors. As president of the University of Miami, President Shalala presides over one of the most successful college athletic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football program has consistently ranked in the top of the polls. In 2001 the baseball team won its fourth College World Series and the football team won its fifth national championship. In 2003 the men and women’s basketball teams began playing in a new, on-campus facility, the BankUnited Center. Other Hurricanes sports, from tennis to track, have also earned national recognition. This year UM celebrated the opening of the newly renovated Mark Light Stadium at Alex Rodriguez Park and a new basketball training and practice complex. The Black Coaches Association honored her with its Image of Excellence Award for 2007. As to her commitment to UM athletics, President Shalala said, “College sports are a vital part of our students’ experience while at the University. They also help build community and instill a great sense of pride in our athletes and their accomplishments. The young men and women who play Hurricanes sports are devoted to their game both on a personal and team level, and it shows in their inspired performances time after time. Now it’s up to the fans to show their support and cheer them on to many more victories.” For a sports fan like President Shalala, there is no better place to call home than the University of Miami.

Kirby Hocutt is in his second year as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. Introduced as UM’s new Director of Athletics on Feb. 8, 2008, Hocutt began his tenure as the university’s 11th Director of Athletics on June 1, 2008. Hocutt, 37, came to Miami after serving as the athletic director at Ohio University since 2005. Prior to that, he spent six years at the University of Oklahoma and served as associate athletic director for external operations and sports administration before his stint at Ohio. In his first year in Coral Gables, Hocutt established a master plan for major facilities improvements in addition to initiating the development of a strategic plan for the University of Miami athletic department. He oversaw a number of facility improvements in his initial year, including the construction of a basketball practice facility as well as upgrades to Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the Neil Schiff Tennis Center and Cobb Stadium. For the first time in nine years, a new Ring of Honor class was inducted under Hocutt’s direction, as Edgerrin James, Jim Kelly, Cortez Kennedy, Jim Otto and Gino Torretta were added to the prestigious class of UM football greats. Two UM head coaches – Paige Yaroshuk-Tews (Women’s Tennis) and Nicole Lantagne Welch (Volleyball) – earned Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors in Hocutt’s first year at Miami while UM student-athletes earned 15 All-America honors during the 2008-09 season. The women’s tennis team became the first women’s program at UM to win an ACC title, claiming the regular season championship after going 25-4 overall and 10-1 in league play. A former star linebacker at Kansas State, Hocutt has a total of 18 years experience in intercollegiate athletics, including five as a student-athlete. At Ohio, Hocutt significantly reorganized the athletic department’s annual giving program. His leadership led to an increase in fundraising by more than 75 percent, including the securing of the second-largest major gift in school athletics history. He also increased season ticket sales in football by 112 percent and in men’s basketball by 50 percent. In his three years at Ohio, the school won 11 team championships and four head coaches were recognized as conference Coaches of the Year. In 2006, the football team played in its first bowl game in 38 years.
At Oklahoma, Hocutt was the primary administrator for football and the sport supervisor for baseball, men’s and women’s golf, as well as men’s and women’s tennis. His duties included supervision of the athletics development office, athletics ticket office, special events, stadium suite program, athletics endowment program, letter winners association and the department’s facility use and rental program. Hocutt led Oklahoma’s athletics fundraising to an all-time high in annual giving and capital campaigns. From 1998 to 2005, Oklahoma’s annual giving increased from $3.4 million to more than $17 million. That 400 percent increase in annual giving was one of the highest percentage increases in intercollegiate athletics history. Beginning in 1999, Hocutt served in a leadership position in the strategic planning for a $100 million capital campaign. The $120 million campaign was unique in that it focused on facility construction or improvements for each of Oklahoma’s 20 sports. Prior to joining the Oklahoma staff, Hocutt served as the assistant director of licensing at the NCAA. In that position, he worked with corporate partners and licensees to create new revenue producing initiatives to support and promote all 81 NCAA championships. He began his career in sports administration as the assistant director of marketing and promotions at Kansas State University. While at Kansas State, he implemented revenue-producing activities for the athletics department, including corporate partner sponsorships and ticket sales. Hocutt was a four-year letterman at linebacker at KSU, leading the Big 8 Conference in tackles and being named to the All-Big 8 Conference team during his junior season. In 1993, The Sporting News selected him as one of the top 20 underrated players in the nation. Hocutt also served as a team captain his senior season. Two of Hocutt’s coaches at Kansas State were Bob Stoops, head football coach at Oklahoma and Jim Leavitt, the head football coach at USF. A member of the Orange Bowl Committee, Hocutt was also named to the Miami-Dade Sports Commission Board of Directors on Oct. 1, 2008. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University in 1995 and his master’s of education degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2001. He and his wife Diane have two sons, 7-year-old Drew and 5-year-old Brooks.

Compliance
• General correspondence, including letters, U.S. Postal Service postcards and institutional note cards; • Game programs, which may not include posters, and one Student-Athlete Handbook; • NCAA educational information; • Pre-enrollment information subsequent to signing a National Letter of Intent with the university; • One athletic publication (e.g., media guide or recruiting brochure); • Official academic, admissions and student services publications published or videos produced by the institution and available to all students; • Schedule and business cards; • Questionnaires which may be provided prior to your junior year; and • Camp brochures which may be provided prior to your junior year. Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete (Prospect)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. You are no longer a prospect if you have done any of the following: (1) Officially register and enroll in a minimum full-time program of studies and have attended classes in any four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or (2) Participated in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (3) Officially register and enrolled and attend classes during the summer prior to initial enrollment and receive institutional athletics aid. How do I know if I’m being recruited? A coach is recruiting you if they try to convince you directly, or through your fam-
ily, to attend their school and participate in intercollegiate athletics. There are several ways to be recruited: (1) a coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Coaches and authorized institutional staff members are the only individuals who may recruit you. Representatives of athletic interests (boosters) may not call, write or make in-person contact with you anywhere for the purpose of recruiting you to a university and participating in athletics. When can a coach contact me? Off Campus Contact In the sport of basketball, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning the first day of classes of your senior year. In all other sports, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning July 1 after your junior year. Telephone Calls In all sports other than football and basketball, a coach may call a prospect one time per week after July 1 following the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school. In the sport of football, a coach may initiate one telephone call to a prospect between April 15th and May 31st of the prospect’s junior year. Additional calls are not permitted prior to September 1st of the beginning of the prospect’s senior year in high school. In the sport of men’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month from June 15 of the prospect’s sophomore year through July 31 of the junior year. Beginning August 1 of the senior year a coach may make two telephone calls per week. Only one call per week may be made to a two-year or four-year college prospect. In the sport of women’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month during the months of April (on or after the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Final Four) and May of the prospect’s junior year in high school, one telephone call between June 1 and June 20 and one telephone call between June 21 and June 30 of the prospect’s junior year in high school. Three telephone calls to a prospect are permitted during the month of July, with no more than one call per week. In the following circumstances unlimited calls to a prospect are permitted: (1) during the five days immediately preceding an official visit to the University of Miami, (2) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent and the two days following the signing date, and (3) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with a prospect For all sports, coaches may receive telephone calls placed by a prospect at the prospect’s expense at anytime, including before July 1 following the prospect’s junior year in high school.
Letters In sports other than men’s basketball, letters and recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1 at the beginning of your junior year in high school. In men’s basketball, recruiting materials may be provided starting June 15 at the conclusion of the prospect’s sophomore year. What is a Contact? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. What can a school offer me to attend their University? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements such as cash, clothing, cars, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend a NCAA school. A University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. The institution can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the University of Miami but this renewal is not guaranteed. In addition, they can offer you quality academic and medical support, as well as the opportunity to compete for one of the nation’s top programs. What can I do during this process? Enjoy your high school years and work hard both in the classroom and in your sport. At the beginning of your junior year you should sign up for the NCAA Clearinghouse. Your high school guidance office can provide you with the information to register. COMPLIANCE CONTACT INFORMATION NCAA, P.O. Box 6222 Indianapolis, IN 46206 (317) 917-6222 (800) 638-3731 www.ncaa.org

The 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility houses 20 custom designed weight lifting stations, 17 cardio-vascular machines, a stretching station, a dumbbell and rehab station and over 44,000 pounds of weights. Each year when freshmen players report, baseline data is collected and a weight-training program is designed. Under the guidance of the strength staff, each student-athlete’s progress is closely monitored and documented. UM student-athletes also have use of the state-of-the-art track at the Cobb Stadium for Soccer, Track & Field. Known as one of the nation’s top training tracks, Hurricane student-athletes have the opportunity to work on all facets of speed training.

ACC “Tradition of Excellence” Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 56th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 109 national champiJohn d. Swofford ACC Commissioner onships, including 60 in women’s competition and 53 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 160 times in men’s competition and 91 times in women’s action. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC is unrivaled in NCAA annals. With North Carolina’s victory over Illinois in the 2005 NCAA title game, ACC teams have captured 10 NCAA basketball championships, including six over the last 18 years. No conference has posted a better NCAA Tournament record than the ACC since the NCAA’s inaugural tournament in 1939. With an impressive 85-43 mark over the past 10 years, ACC teams have posted an NCAA Tournamentbest mark of 329-164 for a sterling .667 winning percentage against the nation’s toughest competition. In the 24 years of the current 64-team field, the ACC has produced 22 Final Four teams, an average of almost one per year and five more than any other conference. Since the 1985 NCAA Tournament when the field was expanded to 64 teams, ACC teams have been even more impressive compiling a 233-115 (.670) NCAA record, including 63“Sweet 16” appearances and 22 Final Four berths — all NCAA Tournament bests. Since 1985, 63 of the 120 ACC teams receiving NCAA berths have won at least two NCAA Tournament games. Following their title run in 2005, North Carolina’s Tar Heels lead all ACC schools with four NCAA basketball championships to their credit. Duke has claimed three national titles, NC State two and Maryland one. The Tar Heels have captured NCAA titles in 1957, 1982, 1993 and 2005 while the Blue Devils won their third title in 2001, following back-to-back championships in 1991 and 1992. The Wolfpack walked away with the coveted crown in 1974 and 1983 while the Terps claimed the 2002 national title. The ACC has 10 or more NCAA Tournament wins in four of the last eight years and 13 times overall and the league has not posted a losing record in NCAA Tournament play since 1987. The conference’s 19-year non-losing streak in NCAA Tournament play is tops among all conferences. Since 1981, the ACC has produced 37 consensus All-Americans - 17 more than any other conference and has accounted for 25 percent of the nation’s consensus All-Americans (37-of-146). Seven of the last 12 and nine of the last 16 consensus National Players of the Year have come from the ACC. Since 1975, the ACC has had 16 consensus national players of the year — 13 more than any other conference. Nine of the ACC’s 16 National Players of the Year were unanimous selections. A year ago the ACC led all conferences with 53 players on NBA rosters. In addition, over the past three years 33 ACC players have made their NBA debuts, including 15 in 2006, eight in 2007 and 10 last year. This past June the ACC had four players selected in the annual NBA draft. The ACC has had the most, or tied for the most, first round draft picks in four of the past seven years and in 10 of the last 16. Since 1986, the ACC has had 89 first round selections (17 more than any other conference) and has had at least one first round selection in 20 consecutive NBA drafts. In 2007, the ACC became the first conference in NCAA history to have 10 teams finish the season with 20 or more wins. In addition, 10 ACC teams took part in post-season play, including an ACC record seven NCAA Tournament teams.
For the first time in league history, the ACC surpassed the 2.4 million mark in attendance in 2006-07. The 12 league schools totaled 2,435,441 over 213 regular season games and six ACC Tournament sessions. For the third consecutive year, the ACC surpassed the 2.2 million mark in basketball attendance in 2008, with the 12 league teams totaling 2,355,822 over 203 regular-season games and six tournament session. The stature of ACC basketball is no where more clearly defined than by the league’s regional and national television exposure. A record-setting 285 television appearances involving ACC teams, highlight the 2007-08 basketball schedule, including 162 appearances on national television networks.
The Championships The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 2008-09 academic year —12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, volleyball, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing.
A History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest — drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when Georgia Tech was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State , and then expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Tech. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting with the 2005-06 academic year.

Neil Schiff
Dedicated in 1987, the home of Miami tennis is a 16 court facility with seating fro 1,000 spectators. The facility hosts many of the nation’s top amateur events, including the International Junior Orange Bowl Tournament.
The Neil Schiff Tennis Center, home of the Miami men’s and women’s tennis teams, was completely funded by donations of approximately $1 million from friends and family of Neil Schiff. A 1948 graduate of the University of Miami, Schiff spent the majority of his life in dedicated service to his alma mater. At the time of this passing in 1985, Schiff was vice chairman of UM’s Board of Trustees. His passing was felt deeply by the tennis community and the young men and women who prospered through his love and support of Hurricane tennis. The Neil Schiff Tennis Center houses 16 courts. The eight varsity courts are flanked on two sides by seating for more than 1,000 spectators, including 144 courtside chair backs. The varsity courts are designed for open spectator access, with spacious walkways that allow a clear view to every court in use during a match. Each court is individually lit by eight low mounted halogen lights that meet the uniform lamination criteria set by the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association for championships play. The lighting system received the 1987 Tennis Industry Magazine Court of the Year Award. The tennis house is adjacent to the courts and includes a reception area, offices for the men’s and women’s tennis coaches and a plush new refurbished VIP/Player’s Lounge that is complete with a large screen TV and three tinted glass walls for viewing matches in air conditioned comfort. The facility was built to support college, amateur and professional tennis competition and to serve as the home for many of the nation’s top amateur events. The NSTC annually hosts the International Junior Orange Bowl tournament and has hosted the NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championships Regional. • • UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI • 2009-10 WOMEN’S TENNIS • hurricanesports.com
The Centre Court Club
62
The Centre Court Club, established in 1994, is a community support group designed to provide “grass roots” support for the men’s and women’s tennis programs at the University of Miami. The objective of the Club, which consists of over 200 members, is to assist the athletic department in fundraising and in promoting Miami tennis in Dade County as well as throughout Florida. This community support group helps generate even greater interest and enthusiasm in the program by putting together mailing lists, distributing schedules and information, and by holding tennis clinics. The Centre Court Club is instrumental in putting together the men’s and women’s postseason tennis banquet. Past banquets have been highlighted by the appearance of tennis legends and former UM greats Gardnar Mulloy and Doris Hart. With the continued growth and dedication of the Centre Court Club and continued support from the administration and athletic department, Miami tennis will no doubt remain at the top of the national scene. Each presented one of their tournament championship trophies to serve as the permanent team MVP trophies. In addition, the Centre Court Club is always looking for ideas to improve fan enjoyment at Hurricane matches. One project completed by the Centre Court Club was the building of an awning over the chairback seats at the Neil Schiff Tennis Centre, creating a shaded area for fans to better enjoy the great tennis action.
