The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center, home to both the women’s and men’s tennis teams, was dedicated in September 1992 in keeping with the University of North Carolina’s tradition of offering quality facilites for its student-athletes. The indoor/outdoor facility is adjacent to the UNC Finley Golf Course and behind the Friday Center on N.C. Highway 54 in Chapel Hill. The facility is named for Ceasar Cone II, a 1928 alumnus of the University who played tennis at Carolina and was a great bene- factor of the school. The center also bears the name of John Kenfield, the legendary Tar Heel men’s tennis coach who had a sterling record of 434-30-2 from 1928-55. Kenfield’s teams won 15 Southern Conference and two Atlantic Coast Conference team champi- onships during his tenure. He coached the likes of Bitsy Grant, Wilmer Hines and Vic Seixas at UNC, and his 1948 team finished third in the country. Kenfield was Carolina’s first-ever tennis coach, and he took over the leadership of the UNC team in time to coach Cone in his senior season in 1928. The complex includes six indoor and 12 outdoor, lighted hard surface tennis courts, spectator viewing on the upper level of the indoor center, men’s and women’s varsity dressing facilities, public and visitor dressing facilities and fully-equipped weight- training rooms for both varsity teams. Other recent additions include an electronic scoreboard for the outdoor courts, additional stadium seating at the outdoor courts, an electronic scoreboard for the indoor courts and in 2016 the ability to live stream matches played indoors. UNC has hosted NCAA Championship first and second round play in 15 of the last 16 years, with the Tar Heel women ad- vancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 after home victories in 11 of the last 13 seasons. In the 14 years under the leadership of head coach Brian Kalbas, UNC has posted a record of 170-21 at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center, including perfect records in 2010 (14-0), 2015 (13-0) and 2016 (16-0). Carolina put together a 50-match winning streak at home that finally came to an end with a 4-3 loss to Georgia Tech on April 1, 2017.

Carolina Tennis History two decades. Eight of Harrison’s 21 teams were ranked among the Top 25 nationally. Under Harrison’s direction, Carolina won four ACC champion- ships in a row in the 1970s and 1980s and finished as the league runner-up four other times. Harrison retired after the 1997-98 season as the winningest tennis coach in ACC history at the time in terms of dual-match victories. Carolina was a force to be reckoned with during the days of AIAW competition from 1971 until the organization was disbanded in 1982. The Tar Heels won the NCAIAW Tournament three straight times from 1979 to 1981. In 1982, they avenged a 6-3 loss to Duke in the state tournament by defeating the Blue Devils 7-2 to capture the AIAW Southern Region II title. The Tar Heels earned a bid to the AIAW national tournament three times, finishing 15th in 1979, 11th in 1981 and 17th in 1982. There were numerous outstanding players during Harrison’s tenure, including three first-team All-America selections. Kathy Barton was an AIAW first-team All-America in 1982. Cinda Gurney, a three-time ACC Kitty Harrison (right), pictured here with Tessa Lyons, coached the women’s tennis programs for 21 seasons between 1976-1998.

That fall, Camey Timberlake was awarded the first-ever women’s ath- letic scholarship for any sport at the University. She went on to capture the Atlantic Coast Conference championship at No. 2 singles during the fall of 1977 in the first-ever ACC women’s sports championship event of any kind. After the sport came under the direction of the athletic department, Hogan coached the first two tennis teams to outstanding 13-1 and 13-2 records in 1975 and 1976, respectively. During the 1976 season, Hogan guided the Tar Heels to a No. 16 national ranking and the team won the Southern Collegiates in Columbus, Miss., by defeating Rollins College in the final. When Hogan retired from coaching in 1976 to concentrate full-time on her senior women’s administrator duties, she was replaced by Kitty Har- rison, who continued to build the success of the Tar Heel program for over Kendall Cline earned All-Ameria status in doubles in both 2003 and 2005. 2018 Carolina Women’s Tennis • Page 38 Carolina Tennis History bas’ tenure. Aniela Mojzis was an individual All-America selection in 2004 and teamed with Kendall Cline to earn All-America honors in doubles in 2005. Mojzis and Cline also earned national awards from the Intercolle- giate Tennis Association in 2005. Cline was awarded the ITA/Cissie Leary Sportsmanship Award and Mojzis received the ITA/Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship, marking the first time in ITA history that one school won both awards. In 2006, Sara Anundsen and Jenna Long earned All-America honors as one of the nation’s top doubles pairs. That tandem capped its stellar career by winning the 2007 NCAA Doubles Cham- pionship, giving Anundsen and Long the first NCAA tennis title in UNC history. Sanaz Marand became the next Tar Heel All-America singles per- former in 2008, a season in which she lost just one singles dual match and defeated the nation’s top-ranked player twice in the span of three weeks. Marand would repeat her All-America performance in 2009 as well as team with Sophie Grabinski for doubles accolades. Jenna Long was an All-America in both singles and doubles in 2007. Carolina reached new heights in team competition in 2010, rising to the No. 1 ranking in the ITA poll for the first time in school history and ad- vancing to the NCAA Final Four, also a program first.

Brown teamed with Betsy Heidenberger for two of her three doubles titles, and the duo of Shands and Betty Baugh Harrison were as tough to beat in the late ‘70s as Gurney and Portnoy were during the 1992-93 season when they won the ITA Clay Court Doubles Championship, earned a national No. 1 ranking after the fall season and finished the spring season ranked fourth in the country. Despite playing one of the country’s toughest dual-match schedules year in and year out, Carolina teams continue to win with regularity. Only on six occasions has the Tar Heel women’s tennis program suffered a losing season while competing as a varsity sport.
