2 The University of San Diego men's tennis team is set to open the 2006 season after coming off of one of the most prolific seasons in USO history. The Toreros finished the 2005 season with an overall record of 16-7, ranking them 39 th in the nation. At season 's end , San Diego qualified for the NCAA Team Championships for the third consecutive season, a program first. For the 2006 season , head coach Tom Hagedorn will look to the leader– ship of his three seniors to guide the Toreros to another winning season . Senior Pierrick Ysern, a native of Paris, France, fin ished his junior cam– paign with an overall singles record of 15-4, ranking him 10 th nationally. Ysern advanced to the final round of the NCAA Singles Championship, another first for San Diego, where he was named the 2005 national runner-up. Mirza Koristovic, who finished 11 -10 in singles , and fellow senior Oscar Plotnik, who had a final record of 13-7, look to provide strength and power to the Torero lineup. "We have a really nice mix between the younger guys and the seniors ," commented Coach Hagedorn . "We have great senior leadership, espe– cially with an NCAA finalist returning . We have proven guys in players like [sophomore] Thomas Liversage and three brand new players who are going to make a big impact. "

2006 SEASON PREVIEW

Alongside Hagedorn , former Torero tennis player Robbie Blair makes his debut as the men's assistant coach. A native of Stellenbosch , South Africa , Blair was a four-year Torero for the men's program who finished 16-5 in singles and teamed with Thomas Liversage in doubles for a 15-8 mark for the 2005 season . "To have a player of [Robbie's] caliber will only help the program, " said Hagedorn of Blair. "[He] has helped our team move up the rankings the last four years as a player and he will continue to do so as the assistant coach . Robbie has a work ethic that is second to none." The Toreros enter the 2006 season ranked 37 th in the nation by the ITA and have a challenging schedule to ac– company their top-40 ranking . In their first match of the season , San Diego faces No. 5 UCLA, followed by No. 12 USC, No. 23 Texas Tech , and No. 28 Boise State, as well as powerhouses North Carolina, Rice , and Harvard. USO kicks off an eight-game home-stay on March 13 against UNC. A cross-town rivalry with San Diego State is scheduled for March 25 and the Toreros finish their 2006 campaign against UC Santa Barbara on April 28. "Our sights for this year are pretty high," says Hagedorn. "We have three seniors that want to go out on top. During their careers they have wins over some of the top programs in the nation including the Pac-10 champion Washington Huskies last year. The Torero men have not lost to a non– NCAA Tournament team in three years."

The Toreros have already proven themselves as contenders with some of the top tennis programs in the nation, and , as a result, know they can compete with the very best.

Tom Hagedorn Head Coach - 10th Season

Tom Hagedorn enters his 10th season as head coach of the University of San Diego men's tennis program . Last year he coached the Toreros to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance , a competition in which Pierrick Ysern was named the 2005 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis National runner-up . As a team , the Toreros finished 16-7 on the year, marking their ninth straight winning season. In 2004 , he guided the Toreros to its second straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, finishing at 13-8 and ranked 42nd in the nation . In 2003 , the Toreros qualified for the NCAA Tournament

for the first time under Hagedorn's watch . The past three seasons Pierrick Ysern has earned a spot on the AII-WCC Singles Team and

in 2002 , the No. 1 doubles team of Juan Cerda and Jason Pongsrikul advanced to the second round of the NCAA Doubles Championships. Hagedorn has an overall record of 115-84 in his nine seasons at Alcala Park. Hagedorn came to USO via the University of Arizona where he was assistant coach under Bill Wright since 1988. During his tenure the UA Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Tournament twice (1995, 1996), with the 1996 team finishing 18-10 and ranked No. 23 in the nation by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).

This past season , Blair finished 16-5 in singles and teamed with Thomas Liversage in doubles for a 15-8 mark. In his junior campaign , Blair earned West Coast Conference Honorable Mention accolades in singles, finishing with a 10-6 record, mainly playing in the No. 2 and No. 4 spots . As a sophomore , Blair reached the round of 16 of several prestigious tournaments , including the Wa– then/Hancock Bulldog Classic and Omni Hotels Southern California Regional Championship. His 14 victories that season tied him with the most on the squad and contributed to his being named to the AII-WCC Honorable Mentions Singles Team.

Prior to his career as a Torero , Blair was the No. 1 player in South Africa and ranked as high as No. 60 in the world as a junior player. He represented South Africa in the World Cup in the U-14, U-16, and U-18 divisions and reached the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon and Australian junior events in the doubles bracket. "I am ecstatic to have Robbie Blair continue as a Torero," said head coach Tom Hagedorn. "To have a player of his caliber will only help the program. Robbie has helped our team move up the rankings the last four years as a player and he will continue to do so as the assistant coach. Robbie has a work ethic that is second to none."

2005 SEASON REVIEW For the University of San Diego men 's tennis team, the 2005 season left a definite impression in USO record books . In his ninth season at the helm, head coach Tom Hagedorn and the Toreros qualified for their third straight NCAATournament appearance - a first in school history. With a preseason national ranking of 42 , Hagedorn welcomed back seven returners, including Paris, France native Pierrick Ysern who entered the season ranked 5 th nationally. The Toreros kicked off their season against Brigham Young University and would finish with an overall record of 16-7 upon season's end . San Diego would go on an eight-game win streak midway through the season, starting off with a 5-2 victory over St. Mary's to give Hagedorn his 100 th career win. Victories over powerhouse schools such as Arizona and Michigan led to a steady climb in the national rankings and the Toreros finished their season ranked No. 39. For their efforts , several Toreros received conference honors. Robbie Blair and Thomas Liversage were named wee Doubles Team of the Month for March and junior Pierrick Ysern was named Singles Player of the Month for April , and also First Team AII-WCC Singles. At season 's end, San Diego was seeded second for the WCC Tournament, reaching the finals before falling to 7 th -ranked Pepperdine by a score of 4-2. USO advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year, the first time in school history, where they faced No. 22 Stanford in the first round of action . Stanford would go on to defeat San Diego 4-0. Pierrick Ysern , however, would advance all the way to the finals of the singles tournament and was named the 2005 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis runner-up . At the end of the season, Ysern ranked 10 th in the nation and finished with an overall singles record of 26-7 . For the 2006 campaign, San Diego returns six players to the lineup and takes on another challenging schedule that includes top-ranked schools such as USC, UCLA, North Carolina, and Rice University. The Toreros are looking towards another successful season under Hagedorn's direction and hope to advance even further in their postseason efforts.

Founded in 1949, USO is located on 180 acres overlooking 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. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university whose buildings became the in– spiration for USD's architectural style. THE CAMPUS The USO campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Span– ish Renaissance style. Since 1984, USO has completed numerous major construction and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5, I00-seat athletic center,

opened its doors as home to USO basketball and volleyball. Two years ago the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and this past Fall the Donald P. Shiley Center for Science and Technology opened. A five-story, Spanish

Renaissance parking garage (I, I00 spaces) was completed in 1998. A landscaped fountain plaza was finished in the fall of 1995, connecting the entrances of the Immaculata and Hughes Administration Center. ln 1992, the university completed the 45,000 square foot Loma Hall, which includes an expanded bookstore, a larger mail center, classrooms and laboratories. ACADEMICS USO enrolls more than 7,600 students who have a choice of more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by U.S. News & World Report, USO moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The university is currently ranked I06th among the top schools in the nation. STUDENT LIFE Student activities include cultural events, dances, boat cruises, beach parties, BBQ's, concerts, comedy nights, symposia and much more. Students participate in a wide range of volunteer projects such as adult literacy tutoring, senior citizen outreach, and house building in Tijuana.
