ALL-AMERICAN TWICE IN A ROW: UCSC Junior Katie Frick holds the #1 spot for the Women's Tennis Team.
The 2004 Women's Tennis Team finished 2003 with an NCAA National Ranking of #24. This year, the team is ranked #19 in the country and #6 in the West Region in the preseason polls and is looking to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years. Coach Dave Muldawer is in his eighth season as head coach and believes this is his strongest squad ever.
The team is led by junior Katie Frick who secured All-American status for the second consecutive year by winning the ITA West Regional Tournament this past fall. Also returning are two strong seniors in Sara Moglen and Jocelyn Werner. They will both be playing in the singles lineup and should provide good experience for the team. Also returning are sophomores Erin Ness and Erica Lee who will be contributing in both singles and doubles.
The team also features four new freshmen, two of which should make a strong impact on this season. Courtney Armstrong is a highly ranked player from Santa Barbara and Angel Zabala is a skilled player from San Francisco. Also joining the team are Lauren Tisdale and Emily Cook who have both shown tremendous improvement in their short time with the team.
The Slugs have one of the toughest schedules in the nation as they are set to compete against eight of the top eighteen Division III teams in the country, including a trip to Virginia to compete in the Fab Five Tournament. We are excited to announce that UC Santa Cruz has recently been chosen as the host of the 2006 NCAA National Championships.
