2004 TORERO OUTLOOK

TOREROS OPTIMISTIC FOR SOLID YEAR ! 1 Tom Hagedorn enters his eighth season as head coach of the Uni– versity of San Diego men 's tenni s program. For 2004 he return s the core of hi s 2003 squad that advanced to the NCAA Tournament and fini shed ranked 43rd in the nation. He is optimistic the team will continue to move up the national rankings and make another bid for a return to the NCAA Tourney. Thi s year's squad will be led by senior Jason Pongsrikul (San Diego, CA) who has been a consistent performer for the Toreros playing in the top 3 singles spots and at No. I doubles. Pongsrikul turned in a so lid Fall Season where he won the ITA West Regional Consolation Championship. Pongsrikul will compete for the top singles spot with sophomore Pierrick Ysern (Paris, France). Last season Ysern was named First Team

All-West Coast Conference in singles and finished with a national rankjng of 96th. Thi s past Fall he was outstand– ing where he advanced to the quar– ters of the ITAAII-American and into the round of 16 at the National Indoors. He enters the spring season with a national ranking of No. 11. The middle of the singles lineup will be so lid with the return of juniors Robbie Blair (S tellenbosch, South Africa) and Nie Beuque (Gex, France), ' in addition to sophomore Mirza Koristovic (Oslo, Norway). Last season Blair was selected Honorable Mention All-WCC in singles; Beuque was First Team All-WCC in doubles (w/Pongsrikul ) and Kori stovic earned some im– pressive singles wins for the Toreros. Two returners that will compete for playing time include junior Nie Schaffner (Geneva, Switzerland) and sopho– more Michael Meschede (Sandton , South Africa). The Toreros welcome three newcomers - sophomore tran sfe r Oscar Plotnik (Mexico City, Mexico) by way of Florida Atlantic, and freshmen Jeff Das (Fulle11on, CA) and Matt Ozurovich (Miss ion Viejo, CA). Plotnik brings college experience after going 18-9 overall at Florida Atlantic, and both Das and Ozurovich turned in solid prep careers in Southern California. Das, from

Troy Hi gh School, finished ranked No. LO in the nation and won the Ojai Valley CIF Championship. Ozurovich, who was ranked in the top I00, was a three-time All-CIF performer and finished 33-1 last year. The Toreros, who will have a nice mix of experience and youth, should make a serious run at the West Coast Conference title and for a national rankjng in the top-25 . Their schedule includes 12 matches against top 50 teams, and only 3 matches against teams outside of the top 75 . All the ingredients are there for the Toreros to accomplish these lofty but reachable goals.

Torero Strength and Conditioning

The University of San Diego athletic department recognizes the need for all athletes of all sports to engage in a comprehensive strength and conditioning program. The USD strength and conditioning program has been designed to develop functional strength, speed, power and endurance. The development of these physical attributes is ineffective if the athletes are not able to carry them over to the playing field. Adhering to a properly designed program of strength training, conditioning and nutrition can enable our men and women to become the best possible athletes they can be, while simultaneously reducing the incidence of injury. The heart of the strength and conditioning program is the Jenny Craig Pavilion fitness center (3,800 square feet) and the USD Sports Center weight room (5 ,000 square feet). Both weight rooms contain Olympic platforms, free-weights , selectorized machines, dumbbells and cardiovascular equipment, and are open exclusively to student- athletes at specific times each day. USD student-athletes receive intensive instruction on proper weight training technique; speed, power and agility development; and sport-specific conditioning. Their strength and conditioning programs are specific to the nature of their sport or position. Each athlete is individually monitored throughout their program to ensure the greatest chance of athletic progress.
