WELCOME A Message from the Coach Welcome to JMU Women’s tennis! It has been my privilege to be the head coach of the JMU Dukes for the past 34 years. My longevity is a testament to the wonderful administration and student-athletes with whom I have had the pleasure to work. Our program has been improving immensely and this year we become a fully funded program. Our 2010 freshman class is ranked 17th nationally amongst all mid-major universities. We expect JMU to become a dominant force in the CAA as well as the NCAA Eastern Region through the hard work and commitment of both players and staff. At JMU we are seeking prospective players who have their best years of tennis ahead of them. Our state of the art Athletic Performance Center, and an atmosphere of learning both on and off the court, combined with a competitive Division I schedule, will allow players to achieve their desired goals. This is our tradition and we hope to continue attracting the fine caliber of student-athlete as we have in the past. It would be my pleasure to speak to you at any time about our women’s program and how you may become a JMU Duke. Until that time I remain, Sincerely yours,
Maria Malerba
