Construction of the tennis cen- ter will take place in two phases. Phase I, which was completed in 2005, added six new champion- Concept drawing of full build-out ship courts, a center patio, fencing and grand entryway. Phase II will complete the project with restrooms, lighting, meeting facilities, and spectator seating for viewing all 16 courts, providing a tennis center which will accommodate joint men’s and women’s matches as well as major NCAA tournaments. The addition of the Marya Welch Tennis Center continues UC Davis’ commitment to being one of the nation’s premier athletics program. The facility will benefi t students, faculty, staff, support- ers and friends of UC Davis as well as the Aggie tennis programs. This new tennis center will be a source of institutional pride and a symbol of our nationally successful program and the closeness of our Aggie family. “We are so pleased and excited to be a part of this campaign to build a spectacular new addition to our tennis facilities here at UC Davis. All those who have been a part of Aggie Tennis, both past and present, will take great pride in this wonderful new center. This improvement will be a cornerstone for continued success in competition and in attracting national tournaments,” said Associate Athletic Director Larry Swanson. “Also, we are truly looking forward to having this additional recruiting tool to continue the legacy of national prominence for Aggie Athletics.” -- 1 -- 2006 INFO 2006 UC DAVIS TENNIS QUICK FACTS AGGIE WOMEN’S ROSTER School ....................................................................University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Name Yr.
