season preview

he Georgia State women’s tennis team is ready to begin the 2014 spring season and its quest for the conference championship crown that has eluded it. The Panthers have reached the conference final the past three years, last year in the Sun Belt Conference and in the Colonial Athletic Association the two years before that. They are still looking for that final win that will secure an NCAA team berth. Interim head coach Robin Stephenson will look to have a successful first year as a head coach. Her Panthers were ranked No. 74 in the ITA preseason rankings, while senior Abigail TereApisah was a school record No. 8 in the singles poll. Tere-Apisah combined with junior Masa Grgan to be ranked No. 21 in the nation. The Panthers are poised for the breakthrough they covet and Stephenson believes her veteran team is up for the challenge. “We start the season off with our team in the national rankings, as well as a singles player and a doubles team,”

Stephenson said. “We are looking to improve on the success we have had in the past and continue to build for the future of the program. Our strength of schedule at the beginning of the season will definitely help us to be prepared to play our best tennis towards the end of the season and into post-season play.” Georgia State returns two seniors, two juniors and one sophomore from last season’s squad that posted an 8-11 record before falling in the Sun Belt championship match. The Panthers also added four talented freshmen, three of whom saw the court during the fall season. Schedule In the fall, the Panthers hosted two tournaments, while competing in two others. GSU hosted the Atlanta Classic in late September and the Southern Shootout in early October. The Panthers also traveled to Athens, Ga., to compete in the ITA Regional Championship and to Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the Roberta Alison Fall Classic. Tere-Apisah and Grgan traveled to Palisades, Calif., to compete in the All-

American Championships, while TereApisah traveled to Flushing, N.Y., to advance all the way to the consolation singles final at the National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships. Georgia State will embark on an ambitious spring schedule, beginning by hosting Troy on Jan. 25 and Mercer on Jan. 29. The Panthers will then hit the road for five matches, all against preseason ranked opponents, ranging from 12 to 73. GSU will return home for five matches, including ranked Columbia and NC State. Following the home stand, the Panthers will head to New Orleans, which is also the site for the Sun Belt Conference Championship in April, to face preseason ranked opponents Tulane and Rice. On March 21, Sun Belt foe Louisiana-Monroe will come to Atlanta, followed by South Carolina State on March 23. GSU will then close out the regular season with a pair of matches against preseason ranked teams VCU and USF, before heading to New Orleans for the Sun Belt Conference Championship.

season preview “We are looking forward to this spring season and the challenges that we will face,” Stephenson said. “We have a similar strength of schedule as we had last year, so this team will know what we are up against and we are dedicated to moving this program forward. “We will face several tough road tests against some of the best teams in the country, but our players know that in order to accomplish our goals we will need to overcome adversity and take advantage of our opportunities.” Singles Already the most decorated player in school history, senior Abigail TereApisah will continue to set and break records as she enters her final season at GSU. She is currently 24-16 against ranked opponents and in the fall, defeated her highest ranked opponent, No. 4 Zsofi Susanyi of California, at the National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships. “The team will be led by Abby, who is coming into the spring with her highest ever ranking inside the top 10 nationally,” Stephenson said. “Her best tennis is still ahead of her and she is

capable of having her senior year be her best season yet.”

No. 2 team in the nation from Georgia, at the ITA Regional Championships.

Upperclassmen Grgan, junior Chaimaa Roudami, sophomore Linn Timmermann and senior Maryna Kozachenko are expected to contribute to the singles efforts.

The pair advanced to the semifinals before falling to the eventual champions from Georgia Tech, Megan Kurey and Kendal Woodard. Abigail Tere-Apisah and Grgan defeated the Georgia Tech pair in the Atlanta Classic earlier in the fall.

Freshmen Tarani Kamoe and Marcia Tere-Apisah, younger sister of Abigail, each played in 11 singles matches in the fall. Freshman Tiffany Flood competed in three singles matches as well. “Our two freshmen, Tarani and Marcia, will make an immediate impact right away and help push our team,” Stephenson said. “They have both showed a lot of improvement over the fall and had several highlights in both singles and doubles in their first semester.” Doubles While Abigail Tere-Apisah and Grgan will anchor the doubles for GSU, Kamoe and Marcia Tere-Apisah made a name for themselves in the fall season. The freshman doubles duo went 7-3, including an upset over the

“Our doubles lineup will be led by Abby and Masa who have proven to be one of the top teams in the country and have made incredible strides in the past year and a half,” Stephenson said. “Our returners are excited to get the season started and work toward our goal of a conference championship after falling in the final last year.” The Panthers lost the doubles point in their 4-2 loss to North Texas in the Sun Belt Conference championship. Georgia State will begin its quest for a conference title on Jan. 25 against Troy. The match will begin at 2 p.m. at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

MARK P. BECKER GSU PRESIDENT

ince beginning his tenure as Georgia State University’s seventh president in January 2009, President Mark P. Becker has provided a vision for the future of Georgia State University and led the institution into a period of marked growth and advancement. Reflecting his vision of the urban public research university for the 21st century, the university adopted a dynamic 10-year strategic plan that has Georgia State well on its way to becoming one of the nation’s premier urban research universities. As a first generation college student who began his educational career at a community college, Becker is personally and professionally committed to ensuring that students of all economic backgrounds succeed and are given opportunities to compete on a level playing field. Under his leadership, Georgia State’s graduation rate has already increased by 10 percent, and the university is becoming a national model for undergraduate education. It leads the nation in eliminating disparities in graduation rates based on race or ethnicity, and, as one of the most diverse universities in America, is first in the nation among non-profit institutions in graduating AfricanAmerican students. By promoting the achievements of the university, making it more visible locally and nationally, and demonstrating the value of a Georgia State degree, the university under Becker’s leadership has set a series of university records for enrollment, graduation rates and total graduates. Becker has also placed high priority on ensuring financial support for students, and as a result need- and meritbased scholarship funds distributed by the university have tripled since his arrival. Becker’s passion for student success has been matched by his commitment to increasing multidisciplinary research and economic development as facilitated by the creation of new research centers, the Second Century Initiative—an ambitious program to hire one-hundred senior faculty members to serve in interdisciplinary research clusters, and an enhanced emphasis on the translation of faculty research into products and companies. This commitment has brought the university to new heights of research accomplishment, as reflected, for example, in new university records for sponsored research funding and federal research funding. Being globally connected and engaged is another important component of Becker’s

vision for the modern research university. Seeking to position Georgia State faculty and students to thrive in an increasingly complex and global landscape, Becker has worked with faculty leaders and international partners to enhance Georgia State’s global profile. In 2010 the university partnered with Beijing Language and Culture University to establish a Confucius Institute with an emphasis on business and commerce. In 2012 the institute was named a “2012 Confucius Institute of the Year.” Becker is particularly committed to developing strong partnerships with universities in rapidly growing economies. As a result, the university is working to strengthen relationships with counterparts in Brazil, China, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. These partners are the basis for the development of new student and faculty exchanges, study abroad programs, research collaborations, executive training initiatives, government and private sector networks, and dual-degree programs. Becker has aggressively advanced the campus’ physical development and revitalization of downtown Atlanta. This has included major additions to campus housing and dining, research and academic facilities, as well as intramural and athletics facilities. In 2010 the university added football to its athletics program, and in 2013 added sand volleyball and moved to the Sun Belt Conference to advance into the Division I – FBS level of NCAA competition. Throughout his career Becker has served on boards and committees of civic, government and professional bodies. He serves, for example, on the boards of the Coalition of Urban Serving Universities, World Affairs Council of Atlanta, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Georgia Aquarium, Georgia Research Alliance, Woodruff Arts Center, and the Atlanta Committee for Progress. He also serves on the executive committees of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (Chair) and Central Atlanta Progress. Trained as a statistician, Becker has had a distinguished career in biostatistics and public

health sciences. For most of his professorial career he was a member of the faculty in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan, where he also held appointments in the Institute for Social Research, and the Department of Statistics. He was made a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Becker has been principal investigator on research grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. He has published extensively in leading journals, and his doctoral students have gone on to successful careers in leading higher education institutions and with multinational companies. Becker served on multiple editorial boards, was co-editor of Sociological Methodology, and was a guest editor for Sociological Methods and Research and for the Journal of the American Statistical Association. Prior to his appointment as president of Georgia State, Becker was executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at the University of South Carolina and dean of the School of Public Health and assistant vice president of Public Health Preparedness and Emergency Response at the University of Minnesota. From 1989 to 2000, Becker was a professor in the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health, where he also was associate dean for academic affairs. He has held academic appointments at the University of Washington, the University of Florida and Cornell University. Becker attended Harford (Md.) Community College, earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Towson State University in 1980 and his Ph.D. degree in statistics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1985. Becker grew up in Havre de Grace, Md., near Baltimore. He and his wife, Laura Voisinet, have two adult children, Matthew and Julia.

CHERYL L. LEVICK D I R E C TO R O F AT H L E T I C S

highly respected administrator with over two decades of experience guiding programs to the highest level of NCAA play, Cheryl L. Levick has successfully combined athletic and educational opportunities for students since the start of her career in collegiate athletics. As Georgia State’s Director of Athletics, Levick has helped boost the Panthers’ visibility on the national stage in multiple sports while adhering to the athletic department’s mission statement of shaping champions for today and leaders for tomorrow. The transformation of the Panther Athletics Department has been remarkable under Levick. Each program has been enhanced or in the case of football, built from scratch – the program had one player, two helmets and seven coaches when she arrived in 2009. Now it is set to compete at the FBS level in just its fourth season. To make that jump in schedule and talent, Levick hired Trent Miles away from his alma mater in December 2012 after he constructed an impressive – if not totally improbable – turnaround at Indiana State. Miles was not the first high-level coaching hire Levick successfully maneuvered for the Panthers as she also plucked Ron Hunter out of the state of Indiana in 2011. He quickly revitalized Georgia State basketball with its first postseason berth in a decade in his first year, and now has Panther fans eagerly awaiting a championship. The significant imprint Levick has created at GSU can be seen across the entire athletic department. She has put Georgia State in position to compete for league titles right off the bat as it fully moves into the Sun Belt Conference in 2013-14. Last year, GSU squads won two SBC team crowns to put the conference on notice that the Panthers are not just

moving up, but they are ready to win from the start. Levick’s tenure in sport-crazy Atlanta has been marked by significant upgrades in facilities and fundraising. Annual giving to the Panther Athletic Club (PAC) has steadily increased by more than tenfold, and the three largest gifts in the history of GSU athletics have been secured. Construction projects have included the GSU Football Practice Complex, new facilities for strength and conditioning and sports medicine, and upgrades to every venue used by the Panthers. Arguably the most impressive project to date is the state-of-the-art facility for sand volleyball, the Panthers’ most recent sport addition. It was finished in time for the inaugural season in 2013, and is part of the ambitious Athletics Master Facilities Plan that Levick developed to address needs for every sport. Continuous success has been seen in the classroom as Georgia State student-athletes have excelled in recent years. Together, Panther student-athletes have recorded a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0 for 10 consecutive semesters while completing more than 5,000 hours of community service annually. Levick has been a significant proponent of providing opportunities for women in college sports. She started the Women, Sports and Power Luncheon to raise money for women’s sports by female donors, an event that has been successful at each of her previous stops as athletic director. The event helped raise $50,000 for GSU women’s teams in 2013.

THE LEVICK FAMILY: (from left) Michael Klass, Heather, Melissa, Jason Lake, Cheryl.

In 2011, Levick was named a “Game Changer” among women in sports business by the SportsBusiness Journal, and she was twice (1998 and 1999) named one of the nation’s Top 25 Female Sports Executives by Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal. The National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA) also named her Division I Athletic Administrator of the Year in 2001. Levick came to Georgia State from Maryland, where she served as chief of staff/ executive senior athletic director while overseeing the day-to-day management of the 27-sport program. That came after serving three years (2004-07) as director of athletics at Saint Louis, where she led the Billikens’ transition to the Atlantic 10 Conference and was the lead fundraiser for an $80 million on-campus arena and practice complex. In four years (2000-04) as director of athletics and recreation at Santa Clara, Levick oversaw a major renovation of the school’s basketball arena and saw the Broncos’ women’s soccer team capture the 2001 national championship. It is still the only NCAA team title in school history. Levick spent 12 years at Stanford as senior associate athletic director and senior woman administrator. She was the primary administrator for 33 varsity programs that won 44 national championships and helped Stanford to six straight Sears Cup titles. She also served as assistant commissioner of the Pac-10 Conference, assistant director of communications and women’s programs at the NCAA, women’s gymnastics coach and associate athletic director at Slippery Rock, and assistant gymnastics coach and synchronized swim coach at Indiana. Levick began her career at Pattonville Senior High School in St. Louis, Mo., coaching gymnastics and women’s track. Levick is a 1974 graduate of Missouri, and holds a master’s degree in athletic administration from Indiana. She has two daughters: Heather and husband Michael Klass with grandson Brady born in July 2013; and Melissa and husband Jason Lake.

SUN BELT CONFERENCE

fter more than a year’s worth of anticipation, the wait finally ended. On July 1, 2013, the Georgia State Athletic Department officially became a full member of the Sun Belt Conference and now competes for championships in 14 league-sponsored sports. “We look forward to playing a leadership role in the Sun Belt Conference and our teams competing for Sun Belt titles and postseason berths,” Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick said. “It really is a tremendous day in Georgia State sports history.” GSU’s move onto a national stage in all sports officially began on April 9, 2012. At a press conference inside the Georgia Dome, Sun Belt Conference officials joined Georgia State President Mark Becker and Levick at the public announcement of the Panthers’ impending conference move. A feasibility study begun in the fall of 2011 concluded the Panthers were well positioned to make the jump to the FBS level and that the Sun Belt would be an ideal fit. The rest has been history. The move allows GSU to build on regional rivalries with several schools within driving distance, while also showcasing its talented teams to the country. It is a return home of sorts for Georgia State, which was a founding member of the Sun Belt Conference in 1976. At that time, the league consisted of six universities playing across four men’s sports – basketball, soccer, tennis and golf. Today, the Sun Belt Conference sponsors 18 sports, including 14 that the Panthers will vie for conference titles. On the men’s side, GSU will compete in baseball, basketball, football, golf and tennis, while women’s sports include basketball, golf, cross country, soccer, softball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and court volleyball. GSU has also announced plans to add women’s swimming and diving. The Panthers already own two Sun Belt Conference titles in the past year.

season recap

The Georgia State University women’s tennis program achieved success in its first year as part of the Sun Belt Conference and notched a program first by sending a doubles pair to the NCAA Doubles Championship during a successful 2012-13 season. GSU faced its most difficult schedule in program history by taking on 12 nationally-ranked opponents, including nine on the road, and managed to earn a respectable 8-11 record. The Panthers once again were prominent on the national stage as junior Abigail Tere-Apisah earned her second straight bid to the NCAA Singles Championship. GSU made history by earning its first NCAA Doubles Championship bid with TereApisah and sophomore Masa Grgan representing the Panthers in the event. Georgia State narrowly missed earning its first NCAA Championship bid as a team since 2009 by two points after it fell in the Sun Belt Championship to No. 60 North Texas. The narrow 4-2 loss represented Georgia State’s third consecutive trip to the conference tournament final under former head coach Miha Lisac. Georgia State jumped into the national spotlight following back-to-back seasons

competing in national tournaments. “It was well deserved for Abigial and Masa to represent us at the individual and doubles nationals. These are important steps as the program continues to build on a national level,” Lisac said. “Furthermore, it is 2012-13 Season Review an important recognition for Abigial and Masa individually • Overall Record: 8-11 • Sun Belt Record: 2-1 for the outstanding seasons • Final ITA Ranking: No. 75 they have had and the work • Highest 2012 ITA Ranking: No. 38, Feb. 26 they put it throughout the year • SBC Championship Finish: L, 4-2 in SBC Champito prepare and earn the right onship finals vs. No. 60 North Texas • NCAA Singles Championship Appearance: Abigail to be at nationals.” Grgan and Tere-Apisah’s presence at the 2013 NCAA Doubles Championship came as no surprise. The two owned a 14-2 record heading into the tournament and were 3-1 vs. nationallyranked doubles pairings. This included a victory against the No.5-ranked tandem in the nation, Maria Belaya and Jeltje Loomans of William & Mary, on April 5.

Tere-Apisah • NCAA Doubles Championship Appearance: Abigail-Tere-Apisah/Masa Grgan • Final ITA Singles Ranking: Abigail Tere-Apisah, No. 49 • GSU Female Athlete of the Year: Abigail TereApisah (22-11 Singles Record) • All-SBC First Team Singles: Abigail Tere-Apisah • All-SBC First Team Doubles: Abigail Tere-Apisah and Masa Grgan (21-4 record)

Their two other nationally-ranked wins came in the fall season, against Georgia’s No. 50-ranked duo of Maho Kowase and Lilly Kimbell and USF’s No. 24-ranked tandem of Ecaterina

season recap Vasenina and Loreto Alonso. Grgan and Tere-Apisah entered the NCAA Doubles Championship ranked No. 34 in the ITA National Doubles rankings. In the first round the top Panther doubles duo drew the top pair from Nebraska, Patricia Veresova and Mary Weatherholt, who entered the tournament ranked No. 3 in the nation. GSU fought back despite losing the first set to win the second set 7-5 and enter the deciding third set. The match went wire-to-wire as the teams entered a third-set tiebreaker to decide the contest. In the tiebreaker, Grgan and Tere-Apisah fought off two match points, but just came up shy and fell 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (6) in the first round. In singles action, Tere-Apisah earned a first-round matchup with No. 49-ranked Zoe De Bruycker of North Carolina, a senior coming off a 15-9 season in the ACC at the No. 2 spot. Tere-Apisah fought windy conditions throughout the entire match and fell behind by a set early. But the junior from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, roared back and took a 5-4 lead in the second set. The match was stopped at that point and delayed 30 minutes due to rain. When play resumed indoors, Tere-Apisah dropped three straight games to fall in the match. “Abigial had a tough draw this year and played a tough opponent right off the bat,” Lisac said. “I felt that she had a good game plan going into the match and was able to outplay her opponent during stretches of the match. Zoe is a tough player though and managed to stage a comeback in the second set to take the set 7-5 and close out the match. It would have been very interesting to see how the match would have went in the third set.” “Abigail and Masa came back the following day to take on a tough team from Nebraska. The match was one of the best doubles matches I have seen all year long; and Abby and Masa

have been in some doubles battles even during the regular season. Both teams played well and the Nebraska team was a little more consistent and aggressive at the end of the third set to take the match 7-6. Abby and Masa will continue to play at the top level in college and at national tournaments next year. They can become one of the top tandems in college tennis.” The Panthers’ exciting season started with a major upset as the team knocked off No. 40-ranked Oklahoma State behind Jocelyn Ffriend’s matchclinching win. GSU earned the win at the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, which it participated in for the second year and the second time in program history. Following two victories, Georgia State tied its program high by jumping to No. 38 in the ITA team rankings on Feb. 28. The rankings were the first to factor in computer rankings which gave Georgia State high marks after competing against several top-ranked opponents. Georgia State entered the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Championship as the No. 2 seed, earning a first-round bye in the process. The Panthers scrapped to a 4-3 win their opening match against Louisiana-Monroe to begin the tournament. GSU bounced back with an efficient 4-0 win against MTSU in the semifinals to set up a showdown with No. 60 North Texas for the Sun Belt title. The Panthers dropped the doubles point, but rebounded with wins from Tere-Apisah and freshman Linn Timmermann in the No. 4 singles slot. GSU could not rally from being down 3-2 and fell in the conference final. Several student-athletes shined in the team’s first year in the Sun Belt Conference. Tere-Apisah took home All-Sun Belt First Team Singles honors and teamed with Grgan to earn AllSun Belt First Team Doubles laurels. Tere-Apisah and Timmermann were

named to the Sun Belt Championship All-Tournament Team. Timmermann was stellar in her rookie year as she won eight matches while senior Whitney Byrd stepped into the No. 3 spot to win seven matches. Byrd notched a career first by defeating No. 45-ranked Beatrice Gumulya (Clemson) in straight sets for her first nationally-ranked win. Junior Maryna Kozachenko delivered a 6-3 record including important match-clinching singles wins. “The highlights of our season would be our play in the first round of nationals indoors,” Lisac said. “Against Oklahoma State, we played the most complete match of the season and pulled out a 4-3 win against a topnotch opponent. It is also important to note that this was the first time we qualified into the round of 32 at national tournament; definitely a step to build upon next year.” The Panthers return five of their top six singles players in 2013-14.
