2000 TORERO OUTLOOK

The 2000 version of the University of San Diego men's tennis program, under the direction of fourth-year coach Tom Hagedorn , wi ll be one with a lot of experience and depth up and down the line-up. The Toreros return nine lettermen from last year's team that finished with its third straight winning campaign ( 11-10 record) and second place finish in the West Coast Confer– ence. The lone Torero gone from that team is Rudy Rodriguez, the team captain and No. l si ngles player. With such a large group of returners back that have key wins under their belt, the Toreros wi ll be gunning for a top-40 national ranking and berth in the NCAA Tournament Regional Playoffs in early May. The 2000 team is sti ll somewhat young with just one senior-- that player being German Maldonado (Mexico City, Mexico), coach Hagedorn's first Torero recruit who will play No . I doubles and in the top halfof the singles line-up. With a total of eight juniors and sophomores back that have played together, this year's squad will have great team chemistry.

A quartet of juniors, led by Mattias Tangefjord (Gothenburg, Sweden) and Sean Cooper (Dublin, Ireland), will give coach Hagedorn much

needed experience in the starting line-up. Tangefjord will compete for the No. 1-2 singles spots, and will probably team with Stephen Taylor at No. 2 doubles. Cooper had a tremendous Fall season, winning 18 matches, and will play be– tween No. 2-4 singles, and at No. 3 doubles with Ted Burghardt. Rounding out the junior class are Ross Bourne (Tulsa, Oklahoma) who finished l 0-9 in singles last season (5-1 at No. 4), along with Bernie Carrillo (Mexico City, Mexico). The Toreros also field a strong sophmore class that is paced by Ricardo Rizo (Guadalajara, Mexico). Last season he fini shed 8-13 in singles and teamed with Maldonado in doubles to fini sh 9-3 at the No. l spot. Rounding out the depth of this class are Ted Burghardt (Denver, Colorado), 7-3 in sing les in '99 and 14-8 in doubles with Cooper; Stephen Taylor (Portmarnock, Ireland) who went 7-7 in singles and l 0-6 in doubles; and second-year player Andrew Kazarian (F resno, Californ ia).

A tri o of freshmen complete this year's 12-man Torero roster with

newcomer Ray van Wasbeek (Vaassen, The Netherlands) expected to make an immediate impact. One of the top players in The Netherlands, van Wasbeek chose USO over Arizona State and Tul ane. He will see singles action in the middle of the line-up right away and probably team with Tangefjord in doubles. Also joining the Toreros thi s season are freshmen Robert Brauchli (Tucson , Arizona; Salpointe Catholic Hi gh School) and Michael Pfeiffer (Monterey, CA; Stevenson High School). This season's schedu le favors the Toreros with fourteen matches sched– uled for home at USD's West Courts. Should the Toreros fare well through the early portion of their 2000 schedu le which includes road matches at USC, Arizona State and Arizona, they will then return in mid-March to host nine straight matches. Following the West Coast Conference Champion– ships in early Apri l (@ Santa Clara), USO wi ll close-out their regular-sea– son schedule at Fresno State on April 15th. If everyone stays healthy and plays up to their potential , this is a team positioned to make a run at a top-40 national ranking and berth in the NCAA Tournament in mid-May.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO 2

SETTING The Uni versi ty o f San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of hi gher education. Founded in 1949, US D is located on 180 acres overl ook– ing Mission Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcala Park and is located just IO minutes from downtown San Diego and the world famous San Diego Zoo. Historic O ld Town is j ust minutes away as wel l. The city of San Diego along with th is campus traces their orig ins to fi fteenth century Spain. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid -Alca la de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Chri s– tians recaptured the vill age centuries later and founded a uni versity, the Un iversity of Alcala, whose buildings became the inspiration for US D's style. Both institutions are located on a hill overlook ing a river va ll ey.

THE CAMPUS

The USD campus is regarded as one of the most architecn1rally unique institutions in the country, featuring 18 major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spani sh Rena issance style. The physica l beauty of the campus reaches beyond the "eye of the beho lder." Reverend Mother Rosa li e Hill , one of the institutions founders , believed in the enhancement o f learning through beauty and harmony. Hence for the University, beauty is a transcendental quality imparted to students as part of thei r education to truth and goodness: a si mp le but profound educational philosophy. Since 1984, USD has completed nine major construction and expansion proj ects. A landscaped fountain plaza was fini shed in the fa ll of 1995, connecting the entrances of the lmmaculata and Hughes Adm inistration Center. In 1992, the university comp leted the 45,000 square foot Loma Hall , which includes an expanded bookstore, a larger mail center, c lassrooms and labratori es. In 1990, the renovated Katherine M. and George M. Pardee Jr. Lega l Research Center opened, a facil ity that offers the latest in in formation technology. ACADEMICS

US D enroll s more than 6,800 students who have a choice of more than 50 under– graduate and graduate degree programs. The university's academic units include the Co llege ofA1 s and Sciences, and the Schools of Busi ness Administration, Education, Law and Nursing. Class size generally averages between 18-25 students with the student to teacher ratio being 18: I. Over 97 percent of US D's ful l-time facu lty hold doctorates. In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and uni versities, publ ished by U.S. News & World Report, USD moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The un iversity is ranked among the top I00 schools in the nation. STUDENT LIFE Student activi ti es incl ude cultural events, dances, boat crui ses, beach parties, BBQ's, concerts, comedy nights, symposia and much more. Students participate in a w ide range of vo lunteer projects such as adu lt literacy tutoring, senior ci tizen

outreach, and house bui lding in Tijuana. The intramural program is a lso an integral part of student life on campus with ove r two– thi rds of the USD community partaking in intramural sports. ATHLETICS

JENNY CRAIG PAVILION • With a donation of $7 million by Sid and Jenny Craig, USO received the lead gift nec– essary to proceed with planning its much needed $17 million Sports/Activities Center. The pavilion, which will be located at the east– ern end of campus between Torero Stadium and Cunningham Baseball Stadium, will in– clude a 5,000-seat gymnasium, coaches of– fices, fitness center and athletic training fa– cilities, showers and locker rooms, conces– sion stand, and reception room. The Monsi– gnor I.B. Eagen Plaza off the Pavilion entry, will take advantage of the view across cam– pus to the ocean. The USO Athletic Hall of Fame will also be housed in the facility. Con– struction of the pavilion will be completed in the Fall of 2000.

USD is a member of the West Coast Confe rence for nearly all sports and com– petes in sixteen intercol legiate sports on the NCAA Division I level. The foo tball team comp leted its seventh season in the Pioneer Football League. Women's sports inc lude: basketball , crew, cross country, soccer, softba ll , swimming, tenni s and vo lleyba ll. Men's sports include: baseba ll, basketba ll , crew, cross country, golf, football , soccer and tenni s. Since 1990 US D teams have won seven conference cl'ampi onsh ips; made 24 post-season appearances; had 2 1Conference Coaches of the Year; 16 Conference Players of the Year, I0 Conference Freshman of the Year, three WCC Scholar Athl etes of the Year and 22 NCAA All- Americans. Zuzana Lesenarova, a three-time NCAA Al l-American for women's ten– ni s, already has won fi ve Collegiate Grand Slam titles with and is the reigning NCAA champion and enters her senior year ranked No. I in the nati on. Susie Erpeld ing, a senior on the women's basketbal l team, was a First Team GTE Academic All-America Team selection in 1999.
