2003 CAROLINA WOMEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 2 2003 PREVIEW The North Carolina women’s tennis team returns five starters and six letterwinners from last year’s squad that was arguably the best team in school history. Guided by UNC first year head coach Jen Callen, Carolina finished the 2002 season with a school record of 25 wins, its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship since 1980, and a berth in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The team finished the year 25-5 and ranked No. 5 in the country, its highest-ever ranking. Callen looks to continue the ascent of the women’s tennis team in 2003 by creating a cohesive team through communi- cation and individual coaching. “I‘m looking forward to my second season with the Tar Heels,” she says. “Our team’s experience and determination should help us build upon our success from last year. We have a great mix of experienced returning starters who contribute outstanding leadership and enthusiasm to the team. Aniela Mojzis earned All-ACC honors last year as a freshman and has played well this “One of our goals is to be in top physical condition,” she fall in several preseason tournaments. continues. “When an athlete is in top physical condition, it often has a positive effect on their mental condition. Training hard to the ACC 50th Anniversary Team as one of the league’s top 50 players every day is no easy feat, but our players continue to do so and it makes of all-time. a huge difference in their match play. I think our players’ have a strong Kendrick Bunn joins Pinchbeck and Mejia as the final senior on the work ethic and a great desire to improve.” Tar Heel squad. Bunn was a member of Carolina’s winningest doubles team in the fall, teaming with Pinchbeck, and is focused on leading the team back to the NCAA Tournament. This fall, she finished second in doubles competition in the ITA Southeast Regional Indoor Championships and was second in No. 4 singles competition at the St. Mary’s Fall Classic. Sophomore Aniela Mojzis also knows about great starts and will play a key role for the Tar Heels this season. Mojzis burst onto the scene last year as a freshman and earned All-ACC hon- ors while playing most of the season at the No. 4 position. In the fall, Mojzis won the No. 2 singles competition at the St. Mary’s Fall Classic. Junior Lee Bairos and Sophomore Kendall Cline will provide valuable experience as returning letterwinners. Bairos played most of last year at the No. 5 spot and is com- ing off a 17-7 sophomore season. Cline is coming off a strong freshman season with a 13-5 singles record, mainly at the No. 6 position. Bairos and Cline were undefeated in doubles last season, with a record of 6-0. The two will likely see much more time together in doubles competition this season. Kate Pinchbeck earned All-America and All-ACC honors last year for the first time Tanja Markovic is the lone freshman on the squad and did in her career. not enroll until January. However, she will be eligible to com- pete this spring and will give the Tar Heels much needed depth.

2003 CAROLINA WOMEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 15 THE CONE-KENFIELD TENNIS CENTER

In keeping with the University of North Carolina’s tradition of offering the best facili- ties available for its student-athletes, the University dedicated the state-of-the-art Cone- Kenfield Tennis Center in September of 1992. The indoor/outdoor tennis facility had been four years in the planning and was the crown- ing jewel in a decade-long campaign to improve the athletic facilities at the University of North Carolina. The Center, located off Don Skakle Drive and adjacent to the A.E. Finley Golf Course on N.C. Highway 54 in Chapel Hill, was offi- cially dedicated Saturday, September 12, 1992, with a crowd of more than 500 in atten- dance. Paul Hardin, then chancellor of the University of North Carolina and John Swofford, then Director of Athletics at the University of North Carolina, officially dedi- cated and named the facility that now serves as the home of the Tar Heel men’s and women’s tennis programs. The facility is named for Ceasar Cone, II, a 1928 alumnus of the University who played tennis at Carolina and was a great benefactor of the school. Cone went on to found Cone Mills in Greensboro, N.C., one of the most successful textile manufacturing entities in the South. 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 championships during his tenure. He coached the likes of Bitsy Grant, The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center boasts six indoor hardcourts and 12 outdoor hardcourts Wilmer Hines and Vic Seixas at UNC, and his 1948 team finished third in the country.

Chapel Hill has been recognized by several sources, including USA Today (left) and Sports Illustrated, as one of America’s best college towns. A list by A & E television ranked Chapel Hill second on its list of America’s Top 10 Cities to Have it All.

North Carolina offers the best of all worlds, with mountains in the western part of the state and beaches to the east.

2003 CAROLINA WOMEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 25 THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA

THE FIRST STATE UNIVERSITY The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the nation’s first state university to open its doors and the only public university to award degrees in the 18th century. Authorized by the N.C. Constitution in 1776, the university was chartered by the N.C. General Assembly Dec. 11, 1789, the same year George Washington first was inaugurated as president. The cornerstone was laid for Old East, the nation’s first state university building, Oct. 12, 1793. Hinton James, the first student, arrived from Wilmington, N.C., Feb. 12, 1795. By March 1 of that year there were 41 students and two professors, and by 1860 only Yale University had a larger enrollment. The 729-acre central campus includes the two oldest state university buildings, Old East and Person Hall. Old East and Playmakers Theatre, an 1852 Greek-revival building, are National Historic Landmarks. The American Society of Landscape Architects selected the Carolina campus as one of the most beautifully landscaped spots in the country. That 1999 ranking, timed to the soci- ety’s centennial, is among the latest affirmations of the charm of mighty oaks, majestic quadrangles, brick sidewalks and other landscaping synonymous with UNC.

FACTS AND FIGURES Now in its third century, UNC belongs to the select group of 61 American and two Canadian campuses forming the Association of American Universities. UNC’s academic offerings span more than 100 fields, including 84 bachelor’s, 165 master’s and 108 doc- toral degrees as well as professional degrees in dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and law. Five health schools–which, with UNC Hospitals, comprise one of the nation’s most com- plete academic medical centers–are integrated with liberal arts, basic sciences and high- tech academic programs. In fall 2001, Carolina enrolled 25,480 students from all 100 North Carolina counties, the other 49 states and nearly 100 other countries. Eighty-one percent of Carolina’s 15,844 undergraduates were from North Carolina. Sixty-four percent of Carolina’s stu- dents were undergraduates, 29 percent graduates and another 9 percent were profession- al degree-seekers. Those students learn from a faculty that totaled about 2,600 full-time members in fall 2001. Many Carolina faculty members hold or have held major posts in virtually every national scholarly or professional organization and have earned election to the most pres- tigious academic groups.

HIGHLY RANKED, HIGHLY REGARDED • In the summer of 2002, UNC was ranked second on a list of the nation’s “hot and trendy” schools by “The Unofficial, Unbiased Insider’s Guide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges”. The publication also ranked Carolina among the schools that are the most academically challenging, offer the best freshman housing, offer the best academic facilities and offer the best value for the dollar. • In U.S. News and World Report magazine’s September 2001 “America’s Best Colleges” guide- book, UNC ranked fifth among the nation’s top public universities and tied for 28th overall among both public and private campuses. Among undergraduate business programs, the Kenan-Flagler Business School tied for fifth nationwide. •U.S. News also ranked 20 graduate degree programs and specialty areas at UNC among the top 25 nationwide in its graduate rankings issued in April 2002. The magazine rated programs in the schools of business, education, medicine and public health as well as doctoral programs in the College of Arts and Sciences. • The 2002 Fiske Guide to Colleges labeled UNC one of 21 public universities in the United States and Canada that were the “best college buys.” • Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine rated Carolina first among a list of the 100 best buys in U.S. public colleges and universities because of its combination of top-quality academics and low cost. Kiplinger’s list, published in 2000, called UNC “a place where high achievers are in good com- pany.” • Black Enterprise magazine ranked UNC 14th in its 2001 “Black Enterprise-DayStar Top 50 Colleges and Universities for African Americans” list, the highest ranking among major public uni- versities. • Business Week magazine ranked the Kenan-Flagler Business School’s executive education pro- grams among the best in the world in 2001. Kenan-Flagler was fifth among executive MBA pro- grams and 18th among executive education programs. • Kenan-Flagler received national honors for outstanding leadership in training MBA students in environmental and social impact management skills. Among schools receiving “cutting-edge MBA program” distinction in “Beyond Grey Pinstripes 2001: Preparing MBAs for Social and Environmental Stewardship,” Kenan-Flagler earned top marks for environmental stewardship, social impact management and sustainability management.
