CONFERENCE
The Big 12 Conference celebrates its 26th year, as it continues to promote the strength and success of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of sixth-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby. The Big 12 Conference is comprised of 10 members – Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia. Widely regarded as one of the top tennis conferences in the country, the league encompasses five states and nearly 38 million people. More than 4,200 student-athletes from across the United States and around the world compete annually in the sports sponsored by the conference. Five teams represented the Big 12 Conference at the 2017 NCAA Tennis Championships, and three of the five earned a spot within the top-16 seeds: No. 9 Texas, No. 14 Kansas and No. 15 Oklahoma State. Four teams advanced past the first round, including Kansas and Oklahoma State, who both reached this year’s Super Regionals. The 2021 Big 12 Women’s Tennis Tournament will be hosted by Baylor at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.
“
THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST CONFERENCES IN THE NATION, AND WE COMPETE AGAINST SOME OF THE TOP TEAMS IN COLLEGE TENNIS. IT’S EXCITING TO BE A PART OF THE BIG 12, BECAUSE WE ARE CHALLENGED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. IT IS NOT EASY TO COMPETE IN THE BIG 12, AND IT NEVER WILL BE. BUT IT SETS AN EXTREMELY HIGH BAR FOR US, AND THAT’S WHY WE ALL DECIDED TO COME TO WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY – TO BE CHALLENGED AT THAT HIGHEST LEVEL, TO WORK AND BUILD TOWARDS THAT AND TO, ULTIMATELY, SEE HOW FAR WE CAN PUSH THIS PROGRAM. – MIHA LISAC

IN THE
SPOTLIGHT
Choosing to become a Mountaineer is special. Without a professional sports team in the state, the 1.8 million people throughout the region love West Virginia University athletics. No school helps its student-athletes more than the people at WVU. Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent themselves, their teammates and their university to news, media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. If you take advantage of these opportunities, it can have a positive effect, not only on your career as a studentathlete at West Virginia, but also on your life after you have donned the Old Gold and Blue.
“
WEST VIRGINIA IS A SPECIAL PLACE, UNLIKE ANY OTHER. I FEEL EXTREMELY PRIVILEGED TO BE IN THE POSITION THAT I AM IN. I AM ABLE TO HELP THESE YOUNG LADIES MATURE AND PREPARE FOR LIFE AFTER TENNIS. I WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING SPECIAL TOGETHER, AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT HERE AT WVU. – MIHA LISAC

IN THE
COMMUNITY
Representing West Virginia University, the city of Morgantown and the state of West Virginia in a charitable manner is important to the WVU women’s tennis team. The Mountaineers are constantly involved in community service activities throughout the state. The team has a continuing relationship with Habitat for Humanity, the WVU Children’s Hospital and the United States Tennis Association (USTA), which makes the team aware of any volunteer openings in the area. The women’s tennis team also hosts youth camps and clinics throughout the year in order to involve the community with the program. Each year, the Mountaineer tennis team also hosts the Martha Thorn Invitational and conducts a charitable giving initiative to benefit local outreaches and causes in the Morgantown community. Becoming successful and positive role models on and off the court are important to the WVU women’s tennis team. The Mountaineers give back to Morgantown and its surrounding communities every chance they get.
“
COMMUNITY SERVICE IS ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL THINGS THAT WE DO. THIS IS A VERY SMALL, TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR US IS A PART OF GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS US SO WELL. NOT JUST US AS THE TENNIS TEAM BUT THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT OVERALL. IT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO STAY CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNITY AND THAT WE CONTINUE TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION. – MIHA LISAC

In 2014, former West Virginia University women’s tennis player Jo Marie (Cinco) Bohn was inducted into the 24th annual WVU Sports Hall of Fame at the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility. “It was so unexpected. As I look back on the previous inductees and their past collegiate accomplishments, I was completely shocked that I was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame,” Bohn said. A former standout for the women’s tennis team, Bohn put together a career record of 214-73 from 1988 to 1992 under former coach Martha Thorn. Bohn received her degree in sports management from WVU in 1992, and 22 years later she continues to remain at the top of the record book.
me chills to hear “The Pride of West Virginia” play at games today. I truly can say that I miss it all,” Bohn said. As the assistant coach for the women’s tennis team at the University of Charleston from 2012-14, Bohn encouraged her players to live in the moment and to not take the game they love for granted. “As a college athlete you only get four years to play, so why not give it your all and leave with no regrets,” Bohn said. “Then hopefully down the road you can look back and be proud of your contribution to your University.”
Bohn resides in Charleston with husband, Pete Bohn, and their two children, Jada and Xavier. She is currently a tennis instructor at the local YMCA and the Charleston Tennis Club. The 2014 class also included Michael Anti (rifle), Chris Enochs (baseball), George King (men’s basketball), Mike Krak (golf), Gene Lathey (football), Mike Logan (football) and Lester Rowe (men’s basketball). The class brought the number of total inductees to 156.
The 1989 Atlantic 10 Conference Freshman of the Year, Bohn finished her career as the 1992 Atlantic 10 Senior of the Year and remains the only player in WVU history to win more than 60 matches in one season and have two 30-win seasons in singles matches. Bohn also was honored with a spot on the Atlantic 10 AllTournament Team in her final season as a Mountaineer. “This honor means a lot to me. I come from a small women’s sport at a large University,” Bohn said, a native of Charleston, West Virginia. “I also come from a small high school, Charleston Catholic High, so to receive the highest collegiate athletic award one can acquire is an amazing feeling.” Although, the highlight of her college years were not the accolades she received year after year, but simply donning the Old Gold and Blue. “I enjoyed the team, traveling and even the band practicing as we practiced on the courts. It still gives JO MARIE (CINCO) BOHN

MIHA
LISAC » » » Miha Lisac enters his ninth season as the head coach of the West Virginia University tennis program. The 2009 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Coach of the Year, Lisac previously spent six seasons as head coach at Georgia State, where he built one of the nation's top Division I programs. Lisac is a former student-athlete at Georgia State and served as the men’s assistant coach for two years. In 2007, Lisac was named head coach of the women’s tennis team at his alma mater. While at Georgia State, Lisac led the women’s tennis program to one conference title, back-to-back CAA Championship final appearances and two other berths in the CAA Championship semifinals. His overall record as a head coach stands at 111-145. The highlight of his tenure came in 2009 when he guided Georgia State to the first NCAA Championship appearance in school history and was named CAA Coach of the Year.
AT WEST VIR GINIA Lisac’s eighth season at WVU provided him with some unprecedented challenge which were brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. West Virginia’s fall tournament schedule was shortened as the Mountaineers competed in one event of the inaugural Intercollegiate Tennis Association Fall Circuit. In the event, newcomer Momoko Nagato earned a trio of wins to claim a second-place finish and catapult WVU into the spring season. Beginning the season a month later than usual, WVU rattled off three consecutive victories to open its dual season, including a sweep over Cleveland State to open the 2021 campaign. The Mountaineers faced five ranked opponents to open Big 12 play, before injuries and roster limitations forced the team to end its season on April 7. West Virginia concluded the season with a 3-6 mark. In his seventh season with the Mountaineers, Lisac led the team to a 7-3 mark and the first winning season since 2010, when WVU finished the year with a record of 17-7. West Virginia began the season with a pair of sweeps before rattling off five more wins to begin the season 7-0. It marked the best start to a season since 1986, when WVU began the year 12-0. Following a rocky start to Big 12 Conference play, Lisac and the Mountaineers saw their season cut short in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

HEAD COACH 9TH SEASON VELENJE, SLOVENIA
Lisac and the Mountaineers finished the 2019 season with a record of 10-12, the best mark WVU had achieved since 2010 (17-7). WVU competed against six ranked opponents in 2019, including four in the top 25 nationally, and swept four opponents. West Virginia’s four sweeps were the most since 2008, when WVU finished the season with eight. Led by two 30-win seasons from Anne-Sophie Courteau and Anastasiia Bovolskaia, six Mountaineers finished with 15 or more wins, five finished with 20 or more wins and three finished with 25 or more wins. Seven Mountaineers were named to Academic AllBig 12 teams in 2019, including five studentathletes who were named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team, the most in the Big 12 conference. Abigail Rosiello capped the season by being named to the CoSIDA Google Cloud Academic All-District and All-America Teams, West Virginia’s second selection in as many years. West Virginia wrapped up the 2018 season with a 7-14 overall record while competing against at least eight teams ranked in the top 50 of the ITA/Oracle team rankings for the second consecutive year. The highlight of the campaign came with a 4-1 win over Iowa State, WVU’s first Big 12 conference win in program history. The win solidified the program’s growth under Lisac’s watch and marked another milestone in his goal to become consistent Big 12 contenders. In addition to leading WVU past in-state rival Marshall for the second straight year, West Virginia also saw four Mountaineers post at least 20 wins in singles and doubles play during the year. Paula Goetz capped the season by being named to the CoSIDA Google Cloud Academic All-District and AllAmerica Teams, the Mountaineers’ first selection in program history. WVU concluded the 2017 campaign with a 4-16 overall record, facing eight opponents that were ranked in the top 50. Lisac led the Mountaineers to a win over Marshall, ending the Thundering Herd’s four-match winning streak in the series. The season also saw two Mountaineers, Christina Jordan and Habiba Shaker, head to the ITA All-
American Championships for the first time under Lisac. In the spring, Shaker led the team in singles play with a record of 8-5 at the No. 1 position, while Paula Goetz paced the Mountaineers in doubles with a 9-7 record. West Virginia capped its 2016 season with a 6-15 overall record, competing against seven opponents ranked in the nation’s top 50 throughout the spring season. Lisac guided the Mountaineers to a No. 75 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national ranking for what was believed to be the first time in program history. In that same week, West Virginia edged Cornell in a 4-3 battle for the first time since 1995 to tie the all-time series record at two apiece on Feb. 27, 2016. West Virginia concluded its 2015 campaign with a 9-13 overall record. The Mountaineers recorded nine straight wins for the first time since 2010 and earned the program’s 450th win at Toledo on Jan. 31. In the spring season, WVU competed against nine ranked opponents, with its last five competitors ranked in the nation’s Top 40. Hailey Barrett earned her first victory over a ranked opponent in 2015, defeating Baylor’s then-ranked No. 82 Rachael Jakes-Baker in straight sets. Carolina Lewis was the first player since 2003 to tally 20 singles wins in a season, ending her freshman campaign with a 24-6 singles record. Habiba Shaker also held a team-best mark in doubles play (12-5) as she teamed up with Lyn Yuen Choo, Yvon Martinez, Barrett and Lewis throughout the spring season. In his first season at West Virginia, Lisac led the freshmen tandem of Kaja Mrgole and Oana Manole to a No. 9 ranking by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) in the Atlantic Region entering the spring season. The WVU duo finished the fall season at 5-8 and battled their way to the quarterfinals at the USTA/ITA Regional in Charlottesville, Virginia. Vivian Tsui tallied three straight wins at the USTA/ITA Regionals and made it further in the main singles draw bracket than any other Mountaineer, after surviving the qualifying bracket. In the spring season, freshmen Oana Manole and Kaja Mrgole led the team with a combined 24 wins in singles and doubles. Mrgole posted a team-high 13 wins in the spring.
AT GEOR GIA STATE Lisac’s final season with Georgia State was a benchmark year for the program, as Abigail Tere-Apisah became the school’s firstever tennis All-American, after advancing to the Round of 16 at the NCAA Singles Championship. Tere-Apisah also took home CAA Player of the Year and Most Outstanding Performer honors. Whitney Byrd and Maryna Kozachenko became just the second pair in Lisac’s tenure to earn All-CAA First Team Doubles honors. The team advanced to its second straight CAA finals and earned its highest ITA Ranking in school history (No. 38 on Feb. 25, 2012). The team finished the
WVUSPORTS.COM
season ranked in the ITA National Team Rankings for a third consecutive year, after defeating three nationally ranked opponents. In 2010-11, the Panthers achieved a No. 55 ranking to finish the season, earning a spot at the national indoor tournament in the spring. The tournament took the top 64 teams in the nation. GSU enjoyed an outstanding season, advancing to the CAA Championship final and earning a 15-4 overall record, including an 8-2 mark on the road. In Lisac’s third season as coach, the team reached the semifinal round of the CAA Tournament for the third straight year, while also producing two All-CAA athletes in Diana Nakic (first team singles, second team doubles) and Linda Hricistova (second team doubles). Nakic was named CAA Co-Player of the Year, after recording a perfect 17-0 season (in singles and dual match play). She was selected for the NCAA Singles Championship. In 2009, Lisac presided over one of the most successful women’s tennis campaigns in Georgia State history, as the Panthers captured their first conference title to reach the NCAA Championship for the first time in program history. GSU posted an 11-5 record and finished the year with a national ranking of No. 47. For his efforts, Lisac was honored as CAA Coach of the Year. In his coaching debut, Lisac led the Panthers to an 11-9 dual-match record and a berth in the semifinals of the CAA Tournament during the 2008 season. Three Panthers earned All-CAA honors; Dariana Kozmina, Martina Nitkova and Katerina Gresova.
AC ADEMIC EXCELLENCE Since Lisac came to Morgantown in 2013, West Virginia has been a standard of excellence in the classroom. During his tenure, 63 student-athletes have earned Academic All-Big 12 honors, including 32 who have been selected to the Academic AllBig 12 First Team. WVU also has been named an All-Academic Team by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) every year of Lisac’s career, while 23 student-athletes have earned ITA Scholar-Athlete honors. In 2019, the Mountaineers placed five studentathletes on the Academic All-Big 12 First Team, the most in the conference. Of those five selections, Caputo and Abigail Rosiello earned a perfect, 4.0 grade point average (GPA).

ASSITANT COACH 3RD SEASON HUNTINGTON, W.VA.
Jacob Eddins enters his third season as an assistant coach for the Mountaineer tennis team.
– No. 14 Taylor Russo/Sophie Graver; No. 64 Jaeda Daniel/Maddie Meredith.
In his first two seasons with the team, Eddins has helped WVU tennis improve in several aspects of the program. In 2019-20, he was a part of a West Virginia team who produced the best start to a women’s tennis season since 1986. Eddins also aided in recruiting the highest-rated signing class in program history in 2020, which came in at No. 29 nationally in Tennis Recruiting Network’s (TRN) annual list.
Prior to the 2018-19 season, he served as the associate head coach at Western Carolina, where he helped oversee one of the most successful stretches in WCU history that included a school-record win total in 2016.
A native of Huntington, West Virginia, Eddins came to Morgantown after serving as the assistant coach at Auburn for one year. During his only season with the Tigers, Eddins helped guide the team to a 14win season, in which they held a team-high national ranking of 25 and upset then-No. 13 Georgia Tech during the 2019 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Kickoff Weekend. Eddins also helped Auburn secure the 15th-best recruiting class in the nation during the Fall of 2018. Eddins coached Auburn’s Jaeda Daniel and Alannah Griffin to individual singles rankings of No. 48 and No. 114, respectively, in the country during the 2018-19 season. He also helped two doubles pairs to secure top-70 rankings in the nation for Auburn
Eddins’ coaching career also includes stops at Pittsburgh, Cornell and Marshall. He helped steadily improve the WCU women’s tennis program over his five seasons with the Catamounts, including setting a record for most wins in a season in 2016 with 12. Eddins helped rewrite the WCU record book with five of his student-athletes holding top-10 single-season victories in Western Carolina history. Four of the top five spots on the career singles victories chart at WCU are held by players Eddins coached, including career leader Stacia Kissell with 37 victories at WCU in just three seasons. WCU’s 12-11 record in 2016 marked the first winning season for the Catamounts since 1997. Eddins’ WCU tenure began after one year as the assistant coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to his time at Pitt, Eddins spent one year
as a volunteer assistant at Cornell University. He also served two years in the same position at Marshall for the women’s tennis program while completing his undergraduate degree. While at Marshall, he helped the Thundering Herd win its fourth consecutive Mid-American Conference championship. As the assistant coach at Marshall in 2010, he helped guide the team to a national ranking as high as No. 28 and a second-place finish in the Conference USA Tournament. Eddins has also coached in junior development programs over the past 10-plus years and currently holds an Elite Professional USPTA certification. He spent two years as the head tennis pro at Guyan Golf and Country Club in Huntington and was also the assistant director at the Allegheny Country Club in Pittsburgh, prior to coaching at Pitt. Before his time at Marshall, he was a two-time West Virginia high school state singles champion, as well as the doubles state champion his senior year. Eddins graduated from Marshall University in 2008 with a degree in business management and a minor in marketing. He and his wife, Michaela Kissell-Eddins, have four children, Kylie, Gavin, Jayce and Carter.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
E. GORDON GEE, Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having helmed universities for more than three decades. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Recently, the website Great Value Colleges named him the nation’s top university president. In 2014, Gee returned to West Virginia University, where his career as a university president began. His leadership goals include putting students first, advancing the university’s research agenda, partnering with West Virginia communities and making sure that 1.8 million West Virginians know in their hearts and minds that West Virginia University is their university. Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and Ed.D. degrees from Columbia University.

SHANE LYONS There’s a reason Shane Lyons was named NACDA Athletics Director of the Year in 2021, it’s because he spends endless hours daily for the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and their day-to-day needs in order to help them succeed in the classroom and in competition. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU student-athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his department. In the past year, his success and work ethic has brought national exposure to West Virginia University as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he chaired the all-important Football Oversight Committee and played a key role in the sport overcoming, adjusting and managing the difficulties to complete the 2020 season. There’s no doubt that Lyons’ even-keeled demeanor, ability to think outside the box and solve problems played a major role in having a football season in 2020. He is also a member of the NCAA Council and will chair that distinguished committee in 2021-22. Additionally, Lyons served on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He’s been a member of the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018. In moving his department forward, his Climbing Higher facilities master plan will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. The Time2Climb fundraising membership drive he initiated in 2021 already is getting new donors involved in Mountaineer athletics and helping the Mountaineer Athletic Club grow and plan for the future. From training, nutrition, medical upgrades and competitiveness, Lyons has already left many accomplishments and success in his rearview mirror and the coming year will add to that portfolio. He will officially unveil a complete overhaul of football’s Milan Puskar Center and open a new Olympic Sports Performance Center that will benefit hundreds of student-athletes, bringing them together in one beautiful complex. Lyons inherited aging sports venues in 2015 and worked hard to fundraise, plan and implement more than $200 million in longoverdue facility improvements. One of the end results of his efforts will take place in the fall of 2021, when all 18 varsity sports teams will have their own private and dedicated locker rooms for the first time in school history. In 2019, Lyons commissioned and announced an economic impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s proudly saw the formal opening of a
new $45 million aquatic and track facility that not only benefits WVU, but also local schools and the entire community. Already, the facility has brought thousands of guests to Morgantown as it has hosted such events as the Big 12 swimming and diving championships as well as the NCAA zone diving competitions. When he stresses academics, he means it as a department-high 341 student-athletes made the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and WVU’s overall department GPA was 3.34 last year. WVU featured 251 athletes with a 3.00 GPA and 90 with a perfect 4.0 for the 2021 spring semester. Also, a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit that he formed along with creating the department’s first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee furthers his belief in helping the total student-athlete, and his commitment to their well-being and advancement. Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and part of his job is to develop our country’s future leaders. He cares, and the proof is in what he has accomplished for Mountaineer athletics in the past six years. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending more than three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama. He worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership, the direction of the overall Crimson Tide Athletic program and was the direct second in charge. Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of
WVUTennis
the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a graduate student-athlete and a member of the football team at UNC-Charlotte and Brooke is a freshman at WVU.
