2007 Review

The 2007 season was a marquee year for the future of the Overall 14 10 , 5 6 SEC Auburn women s tennis program. After finishing 2006 with an 0 SEC Co Western Division Champions 11 SEC record, the Tigers came back to win the SEC Western Date Opponent Location Result Division Title with a 14 10 overall record and went 5 6 in the SEC. Feb. 3 Mercer Auburn W, 7 0 Winning the West was one of the goals that we set for our Feb. 3 Florida A&M Auburn W, 7 0 selves going into 2007, said head coach Tim Gray. That is a pret Feb. 10 Texas A&M College Station, Texas L, 2 5 ty lofty goal considering we didn t win a match in the SEC the pre Feb. 11 Rice Houston, Texas W, 6 1 vious year, but we knew we had a core of athletes who believed Feb. 17 Georgia Tech Atlanta, Ga. L, 0 7 in the program and believed in what we were doing and were Feb. 23 Louisville Louisville, Ky. W, 5 2 willing to work to make it happen. Feb. 24 Ohio State Auburn W, 6 1 And work the Tigers did. Auburn opened with two home March 2 Kentucky* Auburn L, 3 4 wins over Mercer and Florida A&M, but faced a tough road block March 4 Vanderbilt* Auburn L, 2 5 with four higher ranked opponents ahead of them. March 9 Mississippi State* Starkville, Miss. W, 6 1 The Tigers fell to No. 29 Texas A&M, but bounced back with March 13 Ole Miss* Oxford, Miss. W, 6 1 an upset of No. 62 Rice. Auburn traveled to Atlanta and fell to No. March 18 South Florida Tampa, Fla. W, 5 2 3 Georgia Tech, but came back to upset No. 69 Louisville.

The Tigers March 30 South Carolina* Columbia, S.C. L, 3 4 took another hard SEC blow when they faced the Commodores April 1 Florida* Gainesville, Fla. L, 0 7 of Vanderbilt and fell 5 2. April 6 Arkansas* Auburn W, 5 2 April 8 LSU*I Auburn L, 3 4 Auburn finally caught the break it was looking for when they April 12 South Alabama Auburn W, 7 0 strung together four consecutive victories, starting with wins April 14 Alabama* Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Beating Georgia was a signature win for our program, Gray *Denotes SEC Match said. Whenever you can beat a program like Georgia that has ^Denotes SEC Championship such a great history, it s definitely a big feather in your cap. ~Denotes NCAA Regional Championship Auburn took three tough losses to Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida, but came back with a win over Arkansas. Auburn lost to LSU at home, but finished the season with home wins over South Alabama and cross state rival Alabama. At the SEC Tournament, the Tigers defeated Arkansas in the first round, but fell to Georgia in the second. The Tigers left the tournament with heads held high as two Tigers were named to the All SEC Team. Fani Chifchieva was named to the first team and Alex Haney earned second team honors. The Tigers traveled to Athens, Ga., to face N.C. State in the first round of the NCAA Regional Championships. The Tigers defeated the Wolfpack in a close dual, 4 3. Auburn ended the sea son with a loss to SEC foe Georgia, but with confidence for the 2008 season. Going back to the NCAA Tournament was huge for this team and this program, Gray said. It was especially exciting for Alex and Whitney who were here in 2006 and had to endure a tough season. Chifchieva finished the season with a 17 7 singles record. For her efforts, she was named ITA South Region Freshman of the Year and became the first All American in Auburn women s ten nis history.

Fani Chifchieva became Auburn s first ITA All American, winning 17 singles matches.
