The 1985-86 Torero netters enjoyed another successful year. The team was 19-10, all players posted winning records and there were many highlights. In the fall San Diego All-College Tourna– ment, freshman David Stewart defeated teammate Scott Patridge in the final, then teamed with Jim McNamee to defeat Patridge and Chris Smith to win the doubles title. At the ITCNRolex Regionals, held at UC Irvine, the doubles team of Patridge and Smith upset UCl's Man Son Hing and Downs before losing in the semi's to even– tual winners Miller and Gillette of Long Beach State. The best performance at the ITCA/ Volvo All-American at UCLA was recorded

by Dave Stewart. He defeated Jean LeClerg of Fresno St. , Vince Horcasitos of Long Beach and Grant Adams of ASU before losing to New Mexico's Jack Griffin. At the Fiesta Bowl Invitational Patridge upset #1 seed Mark Styslinger of SMU, to reach the semi's. The spring dual match season started slowly for the Toreros- at one point their record was 6-9. Although most of these losses were against top-ten teams, there were also a couple questionable performances. The second half of the season was a different story: the team won 13 straight dual matches; the first 11 were clinched in singles play. Best team wins were over BYU, UCSB, Oklahoma, Yale, Chapman, USIU and SDSU. In the San Diego lntercollegiates, the best USD result was recorded by the #2 doubles team of Patridge and Smith, who lost in the finals. The WCAC Championships were won by Pepperdine, with Santa Clara second and USD a close third. Although the Toreros competed without Stewart and Patridge, who represented USD at the Ojai lntercollegiates, #1 Jim McNamee lost to Pepperdine's Marty Laurendeau in the semifinals. Rick Matheson and Rob MacKay won the con– solation doubles title. Sophomore Curtis Dadian led the team in overall W/L %; he was 15-5 in singles and 15-7 in doubles. Other special award winners at the year-end banquet were: Patridge and Stewart, for best doubles team (9-0 at #1), Jim McNamee, for #1 player (his 3rd year) and Team Captain; Dave Stewart, for Most Inspirational; Rob MacKay, for Most Improved; and Chris Smith, for Sportsmanship.

1986 OUTLOOK

BEST SQUAD SINCE '82?

The 1987 University of San Diego Men's Tennis Team looks impressive-on paper the Toreros ap– pear to be fielding their best team in recent years. "This may be the most balanced team I've had," said 9th year Coach Ed Collins. " We will always put 6 very good players on the court." Is the '87 squad as good as the '82 team , which earned several ITCA top-20 rankings? " I think it could be," said Collins. " It has better depth, and that makes quite a difference." Five of the top 6 players are back. Only #5 Ale– jandro Ramos graduated from a team that was 19-10 in '86. Leading the returnees is Jim McNamee, a senior from Seattle, Wash., who held down the #1 position throughout last year. Also back are junior Scott Patridge (La Jolla, Calif.), #3 singles and #1 doubles in '86; junior Chris Smith (Victoria, B.C., Canada), #4 in '86; junior Curtis Dadian (Torrance, Calif.), last year's possessor of USD's best singles and doubles records; and sophomore David Stewart (Saratoga, Calif.), 19-8 at #2 singles and #1 doubles with Patridge.

COACH ED COLLINS

In his 9th year at USO, Coach Ed Collins, a 40-year– old native San Diegan, has accumulated a win/loss record of 175-87 . .BA. MA in Physical Education from San Diego State ... Began coaching in 1968 at Monte Vista High School (in San Diego County); ran jr. program at San Diego's famed Morley Field in '72-3; directed year 'round tennis clinics at Rancho Bernar– do Inn from '73-77 . .. junior and adult camps and clinics have attracted over 20,000 students . .. San Diego Tennis Patrons Board of Director member since '77 . . . recipient of '81 Olive Pierce Award for Service to SD Junior Tennis . .. San Diego USPTA Coach of the Year, '80-82 ... author of popular tennis instruc– tional book Watch the Ball, Bend your Knees, That'll be $20 Please ... full time staff member of USO since 1978 ... married (Judy).

J.R. Edwards

Also returning from the '86 squad, and competing for spots in the top 6 are junior Mark Farren (San Jose, Calif.), and '86 redshirt transfer from West Valley JC, and junior Rob MacKay (Los Angeles, Calif.), '86 WCAC Consolation Doubles Champ. '87 newcomers and recruits are freshman Dan Mattera (Lomita, Calif.), ranked #11 in SoCal Boys 16's and #65 nationally in '85; freshman J.R. Ed– wards (Denver, Colorado), '86 Colorado State High School Champ, and junior Peter Choi (Flagstaff, Ariz.), a transfer from Northern Arizona University, where he played #5 singles. How the team will line up in singles is a question at the time of this writing . McNamee has played #1 the past 3 years, but could be pressed by #2 Stewart, #3 Patridge or #4 Smith. "All are capable," said Coach Collins. The doubles lineup has yet to be named, but most likely last year's team of Patridge and Stewart will return at #1. " They were 9-0 in dual matches," said Collins. " Smith and Dadian played well at #2. We'll spend the fall season determining our best combinations." The '87 Toreros will have better depth , and they'll need it to undertake another challenging schedule. In addition to NCAA Champ Stanford and Runner-up Pepperdine, the USO netters will take the court against UCLA, USC, Cal Berkeley, Cal Irvine, Long Beach State, Oklahoma, BYU and ASU.

A WINNING TRADITION

1986-87 USO MEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE

1986 USO MEN'S TENNIS RESULTS

TENNIS AT USD USO is proud of its men's tennis program. Twice the team won NCAA C,ivi– sion II titles_ In 1979 the team finished second and in 1980 the program moved up to Division I.

From 1980 through 1982 the netters were regularly ranked in the nation's top 20. In '80 and '81 the Toreros won Ojai team titles. During that time the team was led by Scott Lipton (San Jose, CA), Terry Ward (St. Louis, MO) and Peter Herrmann (San Diego).
