THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
Dedicated to excellence in academics and athletics, the College of William and Mary in historic Colonial Williamsburg is proud to offer one of the finest athletic facilities in the country—the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center. Located on South Henry Street adjacent to the graduate housing complex, the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center, which opened in 1995, boasts impeccable tennis facilities and houses the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Women’s Tennis Hall of Fame. Recently, the courts at the Tennis Center were resurfaced during the summer of 2007. The facility was made possible through a generous gift from Mark H. McCormack, a 1951 graduate of William and Mary, and his wife, former world-class tennis professional Betsy Nagelsen. As the former chairman, president and chief executive officer of International Management Group, McCormack was widely recognized as the founder of the sports marketing industry. The McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center features six indoor tennis courts using the GreenSet GrandPrix Surface (rubberized base under color coat), air conditioning and indirect lighting at a competitive level. The facility also includes member and team locker rooms, several spacious lobbies and spectator viewing that boasts 362 stadium seats as well as a mezzanine seating area. In addition, the ITA and Rolex generously donated a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard. The Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Women’s Tennis Hall of Fame contains a collection of artifacts and records pertaining to collegiate women’s tennis, and enshrines former players, coaches and contributors that have impacted the sport. The Hall of Fame also functions as a library, archive and research center for intercollegiate women’s tennis.

No. 45 Auburn and No. 62 Marshall. She clinched five of the Tribe’s dual-match wins on the year, including the team’s 4-3 upset of No. 16 Texas. After turning in a stellar first two seasons with the Green and Gold, Sabacinski missed the majority of last season with an injury. She suffered a season-ending injury during the fall season and missed all of the Tribe’s spring action. In her initial two campaigns with the College, she was a mainstay in the lineup, winning 50 singles matches in the process. Sabacinski owns a trio of wins over nationally ranked opponents during her career, showing her ability to compete at the highest levels. Like Sabacinski, sophomore Katie Kargl battled injury through most of her rookie campaign. She gutted out nearly every one of her singles matches, while tallying a team-best winning percentage of 65.5 percent and finished with a 19-10 ledger. She capped the fall campaign of her rookie season ranked No. 29 in the ITA East Region after amassing a team-best 12-5 mark. Kargl also recorded 15 doubles victories during her first season with the Green and Gold. Along with the four returning players, the College welcomes four incoming freshmen to the fold in Anik Cepeda, Marlen Mesgarzadeh, Amanda Morejon and Nina Vulovich. A five-star recruit from the Tennis Recruiting Network, Cepeda finished last year ranked second in the state of Texas and was a four-time regional champion. She earned a career-best national ranking of No. 68 from the Tennis Recruiting Network in 2008. Cepeda was a four-time district champion and finished fifth at the Texas Grand Slam. Mesgarzadeh was ranked as high as No. 538 in the ITA Junior Combined World Rankings prior to joining the Tribe. She was also ranked as high as No. 58 in the

German women’s rankings and as high as No. 5 in the junior rankings. Mesgarzadeh won the 2006 German Doubles Championship. Vulovich, like Cepeda, joins the Tribe with national credentials, playing at Blueprint Academy. She was ranked as high as No. 59 nationally by the Tennis Recruiting Network in 2006. Vulovich also garnered the No. 83 spot in the final 2005 USTA National Junior Girls U16 Rankings. Morejon is the final addition to the Tribe class out of Berkeley Prep in Florida. She was the Berkeley team MVP during each of her final four seasons and played on the varsity from seventh grade on. Morejon was undefeated during both her junior and senior seasons and claimed regional and district championships during her final two seasons. The Tribe will once again play a challenging schedule that includes matches against 16 teams that finished last season in the national rankings. The College will play at least three top five teams from last season with the possibility of playing a fourth. The Green and Gold will have match ups with No. 1 Duke, No. 2 Northwestern and No. 5 Notre Dame. The Tribe could also face No. 3 Georgia in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend. The College will meet CAA foe Georgia State in the first round of the event with the winner facing the victor between Georgia and No. 54 Virginia Tech. The Tribe also face No. 28 Virginia, No. 30 Florida International, No. 37 Ohio State, No. 40 Wake Forest, No. 44 VCU, No. 45 Princeton, No. 40 Yale, No. 53 Old Dominion, No. 59 Boston University, No. 62 Brown and No. 67 Marshall during the dual match season.

The Tribe women’s tennis team enters its second season under the direction of head coach Meredith Geiger-Walton and will sport of a bit of a different look with four incoming freshmen joining a group of four returners. Leading the way for the Green and Gold will be a pair of seniors in All-CAA players Ragini Acharya and Carmen Pop as well as redshirt junior Lauren Sabacinski. Last season, the College tallied 10 dual-match wins while playing an incredibly difficult schedule, but included in the victories was a triumph over top-20 Texas at the ITA Kick-Off Weekend. Acharya, Pop and Sabacinski arrived at the College as a heralded recruiting class and have combined for 185 singles wins and 153 doubles victories. As a team, the Green and Gold have tallied a 48-23 dual-match record, including a pair of CAA Championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances. Acharya returns as the College’s top player after playing at the No. 2 singles slot last season. Over her career, Acharya enters her final campaign with 85 singles wins, just 12 wins shy of moving into the Tribe’s all-time top 10 for career singles wins. She is a three-time First-Team AllCAA in singles and a two-time first team doubles honoree. Acharya entered the 2009 fall season ranked No. 107 nationally. Last season, Acharya led the team in singles victories with 21. Pop continued to show improvement last season and capped the year by garnering Third-Team All-CAA honors in singles competition. She finished the year with a 20-12 singles ledger, including a team-best 14 dual-match victories, while playing primarily at the No. 4 singles slot. She was also one of three players to win at least 20 singles and 20 doubles matches last season. Pop was named CAA coPlayer of the Week after going 2-0 against

The Tribe advanced to the NCAA Round of 16 in 2007 after winning a pair of regional matches in Williamsburg as the No. 15 seed. William and Mary’s rise to national prominence is due, at least in part, to the team’s success at the NCAA Championships. In 13 of the last 15 seasons, and 17 overall, the Tribe has competed in the NCAA Championships as a team, while also sending numerous individuals to the NCAA Championships in singles and doubles. Although the College had previously placed athletes in the NCAA Tournament as individuals or doubles teams, William and Mary first reached the NCAAs as a team in 1989. In the spring of 1992, the Tribe achieved its first victory at the NCAA Tournament, defeating 15th-ranked Miami in the first round. In the spring of 1997 the Tribe earned its first victory in the round of 16. The Green and Gold posted a 5-0 victory over fifth-ranked Georgia to earn a trip to the quarterfinals for the first time in school history. In 1998, the Tribe again advanced to the quarterfinals earning a 5-3 victory over sixth-ranked California in the round of 16. In 2007, the Tribe returned to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2003 season. The College garnered the No. 15 seed in the tournament and hosted the NCAA Regional, while rolling past Richmond and Wake Forest. The Tribe saw its first NCAA All-American in 1991 when Kristine Kurth advanced to the second round. Julie Shiflet would pick up the honor in 1992 when she reached the round of 16. Karen van der Merwe earned two of her three All-America honors in 1992 when she advanced to the round of 16 on the singles side and teamed with Michele Mair to reach the round of 16 on the doubles side. She added her third honor in doubles in 1993 when she teamed with Katrin Guenther to reach the quarterfinals. Guenther would add another All-America honor in 1995 when she teamed with Lauren Nikolaus to reach the quarterfinals at the NCAAs. Nikolaus would add a whopping five more AllAmerica honors to the Tribe’s trophy case, as she captured the award in singles in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and in doubles with Johanna Sones in 1997 and Michelle O in 1998. The first individual to represent the Tribe was Namratha Appa-Roa, who qualified in the singles draw in 1986. During the past 20 years, W&M has placed a member of the team in the singles draw of the NCAAs 25 times, while 17 teams qualified for the doubles championship. Moulton-Levy and then-senior Candice Fuchs competed in the NCAA Doubles Tournament in 2005, with Moulton-Levy also earning a berth in the singles tournament. The duo reached the quarterfinals of the event and earned All-American honors. It was the second straight year that a W&M doubles team reached the quarterfinals, as 2006 graduate Megan Muth and 2005 graduate Amy Wei also accomplished the feat in 2004. In 2006, Moulton-Levy left her mark on the NCAA Singles Championship, becoming the first W&M player to advance to the semifinals of the 64-player tournament. She earned All-America honors for the second time in her career, defeating a pair of top-10 foes on the way to the semifinals. Moulton-Levy went on to garner All-America honors in singles during both the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Although William and Mary can boast of team accomplishments at the NCAA Championships, numerous individuals and doubles teams have also had success at the NCAAs. Megan MoultonLevy and Katarina Zoricic advanced to the championship round of the NCAA Doubles Tournament in 2007, the deepest a W&M doubles team or singles player has ever advanced at the event. Last season, the pair advanced to the quarterfinals to earn All-America honors for the second straight season. In all, 13 different athletes have captured 26 All-America honors for William and Mary, while 29 different athletes have represented the team in 46 events at the NCAAs in either singles or doubles since 1986.

William and Mary match-by-match results for every season since 1978-79. Women’s tennis competition began at W&M in the 1921-22 academic year, but results are not consistently available until the 1978-79 season. W&M began playing women’s tennis as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association in the 1984-85 season. The CAA champion has been determined by a dual-match tournament beginning with the 1995 season. Prior to that, the league champion was determined by an individual tournament.

WILLIAM & MARY REFLECTS ON THE LIFE OF MARK MCCORMACK
Mark McCormack with W&M Director of Special Events Millie West and Former President Timothy Sullivan
“Mark McCormack was truly an honored son of the College. Few individuals in the course of their lifetime have the chance to see and feel and know the influence they have had on the quality and character of an institution. Mark’s influence on William and Mary can be seen not only in the physical buildings he made possible by his generosity, but in the highest level of excellence he expected from his alma mater and from those of us fortunate enough to call him a friend.” - Former W&M President Timothy J. Sullivan

Mark McCormack with wife, Betsy Nagelsen
William and Mary lost a favorite son on May 16, 2003, with the death of Mark Hume McCormack, a 1951 graduate of the College. McCormack had been in coma since January after suffering a heart attack. Named by ESPN as one of the century’s most influential people in the business of sport, he revolutionized the world of sports marketing with the founding of International Management Group (IMG). A devoted and dedicated supporter of Tribe athletics, he and his wife, Betsy Nagelsen founded W&M’s McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center, endowed a tennis scholarship and were continuing sponsors of the ITA Women’s Tennis Hall of Fame. Also a member of W&M’s Board of Visitors, McCormack chaired the College’s fund-raising campaign in 1993 that raised $153 million and was the honorary chair of a campaign for William and Mary, which raised over $500 million for the College.
Mark McCormack Tribute
THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
“Obviously his loss is enormous, to both the athletics department and the general campus community. He was an icon and a founder of an industry and his generosity touched many within the W&M community. What made Mark even more special was, despite his hectic schedule, he always found the time to show a special interest in the lives of our student-athletes and took the time to establish lasting personal relationships.” - W&M Director of Athletics Terry Driscoll “There is no way that I can adequately express the loss of a person like Mark McCormack. He was a devoted contributor of time, resources and talent to the College of William and Mary, and especially the men’s and women’s tennis programs.” - W&M Director of Special Projects Millie West “Personally, the area that impressed me most about Mark McCormack was that he always wanted to blend in and not stand out. He came to the tennis center he built for our program and would just want to watch, he wasn’t out to call attention to himself or make himself look impressive. Professionally, he was the W&M men’s tennis program. He donated the money and vision to build the best tennis center in the nation, but he also gave the program much more in terms of his time and interest in its progress and success.” - W&M Head Men’s Tennis Coach Peter Daub “There are not enough words to describe what Mark McCormack has done for me and the W&M women’s tennis program. His generosity and support played a direct role in all of our team’s successes. One of the many traits that I truly admired was his ability to treat everyone with respect and make them feel special and appreciated.” - Former W&M Head Women’s Tennis Coach Brian Kalbas MARK McCORMACK CLASS OF 1951

The College of William and Mary is a public university located in Williamsburg, Va. Founded in 1693 by Royal Charter issued by King William III and Queen Mary II of England, William and Mary is the second oldest college in the country after Harvard. William and Mary has a long history of liberal arts education and a growing research and science curriculum that demonstrates a strong commitment to undergraduate research. The College, which became a state university in 1906, has been designated a “Public Ivy,” and for nine straight years has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the sixth-best public university in the country – and the nation’s top small public university. Also referred to as “the alma mater of a nation,” the College has educated four U.S. Presidents – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler, which is the third most of any college in the country. William and Mary also claims several firsts, including the 1776 creation of Phi Beta Kappa – the country’s first academic honor society – the first honor code of conduct for college students, and the first collegiate law school, established in 1779. William and Mary is also home to the Sir Christopher Wren Building – the country’s oldest academic building still in use – and the President’s House, the oldest home of a university president still in use.

Jimmye Laycock Football Center
Busch Field
William and Mary is committed to building and maintaining outstanding facilities for all 23 of its varsity athletic teams. The College has demonstrated this commitment by investing approximately $16 million toward the construction and upgrade of its athletics facilities during just the last six years. Among W&M’s recent projects was the construction of the $11 million, 30,000-square foot Jimmye Laycock Football Center, which was dedicated in June of 2008. This past summer, Busch Field experienced a renovation that included a total revamp of the field, underlying pad, and drainage systems. The renovation created a competition surface that ranks alongside those used at the U.S. National Training Centers in Virginia Beach, Va., Chula Vista, Calif., and that used at last year’s Olympic Games. In 2005, Kaplan Arena received an upgrade with the installation of 6,900-square foot permanent wood floor along with rubberized sports flooring on the open end of the arena to accomodate track and field and other multi-purpose activities. A year earlier, the home of Tribe soccer and lacrosse, Albert-Daly Field was dedicated, providing the programs with a $1 million all-natural grass facility.
