The University of Alabama’s Director of Athletics since 1999, Mal Moore has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athletically and academically and has undergone an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure. Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and student-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to elevate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports. During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have benefitted every Alabama studentathlete, coach, and administrator. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a diversified field of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business community. All of those experiences and relationships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century. His leadership has been crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period that has been, at times, extremely challenging. His guidance and effort helped Alabama athletics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise. Moore’s dedication to and love of the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his life-long contribution to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trust-

ees of The University of Alabama officially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility. Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced several Southeastern Conference championships, winning titles in gymnastics, men’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball; and an NCAA gymnastics championship. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone on a regular basis. In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum.

During a coaching career that spanned 31 years, Moore spent 22 of those at Alabama with stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis and Phoenix Cardinals. At Alabama, Moore started as Coach Bryant’s graduate assistant in 1964, then as defensive backfield coach for five years beginning in 1965 before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-82 and serving as the Tide’s first offensive coordinator starting in 1975. He would go on to coordinate all of the offensive plays for Alabama’s last four national championship teams. A 1963 graduate of The University of Alabama, Moore holds both an undergraduate degree in Sociology and a 1964 Master’s Degree in Secondary Education from the Capstone. Moore was born December 19, 1939, in Dozier, Ala. He has been married to the former Charlotte Davis of Tuscaloosa since July 20, 1968. They have one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. Moore has the distinction of being a part of seven national championship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, and 1992), 14 SEC championships, and 27 bowl trips during his career as a player and coach, the first as a member of the Crimson Tide’s 1961 national championship team. He is the only individual connected with the Tide program to be a part of seven national championships.

ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY The women’s tennis team gives back as much as possible throughout the year. Below are some of the activities they have volunteered with in the Tuscaloosa community. Halloween Extravaganza Toys for Tots Tennis Clinics Read Across America Project Angel Tree Read to elementary school students Visited with ALS patients Bible study The Crimson Tide women’s tennis team regularly gives back to the city of Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas through various community service programs. Alabama student-athletes take time out of their hectic schedules to read to children, speak at local churches or to just stop by a hospital to brighten the day of patients. The tennis teams also take part in the annual Walk to Defeat ALS to help raise awareness for this disease that has personally affected them. Head Coach Jenny Mainz’ father lost his courageous battle with ALS in January of 2009.

The Southeastern Conference men’s and women’s tennis programs continue to be among the nation’s leaders on the collegiate hardcourt and the trend continued this past season. On the men’s side, Georgia and Ole Miss advanced to the quarterfinals at the 2009 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships in College Station, Texas. Ole Miss freshman Devin Britton came back to beat Ohio State senior Steven Moneke 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 to take the individual NCAA title. Britton was the first freshman since USC’s Cecil Mamiit (1996) to win the national title and the first non-seeded player since Luke Smith of UNLV in 1997. He is the youngest of the three all-time freshmen to win the singles title which includes

19-year-old John McEnroe of Stanford in 1978. Britton defeated three seeded players en route to his national title run and ended Moneke’s 22-match winning streak. In doubes play, Tennessee’s John-Patrick Smith and Davey Sandgren dropped a tough threeset match in the title contest to Virginia’s 12th-ranked Dominic Inglot and Michael Shabaz, 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-4. Seventeen ITA All-America honors were bestowed upon SEC players in 2009. Since 1990, 143 honors in singles and 142 in doubles have been awarded to the conference players. The conference made another strong national showing on the women’s side as the Georgia advanced to the semifinals.

In the singles tournament, Georgia’s Chelsey Gullickson advanced to the semifinals while in doubles, the Tennessee duo of Natalie Pluskota and Caitlin Whoriskey advanced to the semifinals. A total of seven student-athletes were named ITA All-American to put the totals at 110 singles and 120 double honors since 1990.

BY THE NUMBERS • 6 NCAA team championships (1992, ‘94, ‘96, ‘98, 2000, ‘03) • 8 NCAA runner-up teams (1987, ‘88, ‘89, ‘95, ‘97, ‘99, 2001, ‘02) • 20 straight years with a team in national semifinals (1987-2006) • 6 NCAA singles titles (1984, ‘88, ‘92, ‘93, ‘94, ‘96) • 5 NCAA doubles titles (1989, ’91, ‘96, ‘97, 2001) • 110 singles ITA All-Americans since 1990 • 120 doubles ITA All-Americans since 1990 • Three-peat of NCAA singles titles (1992, ‘93, ‘94) 1

SNAPSHOT Senior Paulina Bigos collected 11 singles wins and 14 doubles victories in dual-match action throughout the 2009 season.

Following one of its most memorable seasons under head coach Jenny Mainz, the Alabama women’s tennis team hopes to build off of the success it experienced in 2009. Qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006 and finishing in the top 30 of the national rankings, Mainz’s team appears to be on its way up. “No doubt we have our work cut out for us this spring,” said Mainz. “We are playing a competitive schedule and the expectations are considerable. I trust this team will go after this season aggressively. They are not content with our finish last year and understand the demands that lie in front of us. That being said, we continue to improve and gain confidence.” The Crimson Tide only lost one senior from last year’s squad, but Shelley Godwin was the emotional forerunner a year ago who provided several clinching victories for Alabama. “Shelley Godwin was one of the absolute finest ambassadors the University of Alabama has ever had,” said Mainz. “She was an emotional leader on and off the court. Shelley led with integrity, character and an unyielding spirit. In my mind, she was the heart and soul of Alabama tennis.” The Tide finished last season with the No. 26 national ranking thanks to a 15-9 overall record in dual-match play. Alabama reached as high as No. 16 nationally, its first top 20 ranking under Mainz. The team also started out the season 11-0, setting a new school record for consecutive wins. “The 2009 squad played with reckless abandon last season,” said Mainz. They were an unranked, unproven team that was determined to make a statement. Their urgency and conviction was evidenced in their fighting spirit and tenacity. Each player realized her role and took tremendous pride in carrying out that role. It was an ultimate team effort day in and day out. I salute their fortitude and believe they made a difference in not only our team but our Alabama tennis program.” Seniors Paulina Bigos and Alice Tunaru will be among the candidates expected to provide leadership this season. Bigos was an integral part of the singles and doubles lineup a season ago where she finished with a combined 25 wins in dual matches, while Tunaru helped stabilize the Tide’s doubles lineup at the end of last season. Junior Tiffany Welcher, an All-SEC Second Team selection, played No. 1 singles last season for Alabama, giving her valuable experience playing against some of the top players in the nation. She picked up 10 wins in dual-match play, three of which came against nationally-ranked opponents. Welcher was also named SEC Player of the Week on March 4 following her win over TCU’s 85th-ranked Macall Harkins. Classmate Meritt Emery was a steady fixture at the No. 4 spot for the Tide where she picked up 14 wins. At one point last season Emery went 8-0 against her competition, five of which were decided in straight sets. Now sophomores, Taylor Lindsey and Courtney McLane both made a huge impact during their freshmen campaigns, and they will look to build on that for another successful year. Lindsey was Alabama’s overall leader in wins in 2009 with 27, including 18 in dual-match play. She was a two-time SEC Freshman of the Week honoree and began her season with a 13-0 singles record. McLane, the Tide’s No. 2 singles player, earned 14 victories in dual matches picking up four wins against nationally-ranked opponents and six against regionally-ranked foes along the way. Incoming freshmen Alexa Guarachi will add even more strength to the Tide lineup as she was labeled a Blue Chip recruit and ranked No. 5 nationally in the class of 2009 by TennisRecruiting.net. The Destin, Fla. native has played in over 23 countries capturing more than five International Tennis Federation titles in her junior career and held a Women’s Tennis Association ranking of 953. Guarachi had a stellar fall season for Alabama finishing with a 9-2 singles mark. She won the No. 2 singles draw at the SEC Fall Coaches Classic and finished as runner up in doubles with McLane in the finals of the Wilson/ITA Southern Regional Championships.

“I trust this team will go after this season aggressively. They are not content with our finish last year and understand the demands that lie in front of us. That being said, we continue to improve and gain confidence.” – Head Tennis Coach Jenny Mainz

TENNIS

“I’m both encouraged and optimistic about the leadership within our team this season,” explained Mainz. “We have more than a few competent and capable leaders this year who have steered us in a positive direction. I feel this team has matured considerably. Last year, we had four underclassmen playing in the top six. Their experiences will no doubt play a significant role in our season. We will rely on the experience and direction of Paulina, Alice, Meritt and Tiffany. They have played an influential role in the growth and advancement of this program. We will count on the energy, enthusiasm and tenacity of our young charges in Courtney, Taylor and Alexa.” Alabama begins its spring schedule Jan. 16-18, taking part in the UCF Invitational in Orlando, Fla. The Tide returns to Tuscaloosa for its first home matches of the season, hosting UAB and Southern Mississippi on Jan. 23. Alabama then heads to Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 29-31 to participate in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend. The Tide is the No. 3 seed at the Atlanta site and will face No. 2 seed Kentucky. No. 1 seed and host Georgia Tech will take on

No. 4 seed Arizona State as well. Each team is guaranteed two matches on the weekend, with the team that wins both matches advancing to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships Feb. 12-15 in Madison, Wis. Alabama continues its non-conference slate with a trip to Oklahoma on Feb. 6 before returning home to face Georgia State on Feb. 13. The Tide will then make a cross country trip to Eugene, Ore. to take on the Oregon Ducks Feb. 20. Alabama returns home for two more non-conference matches, TCU and Eastern Kentucky, to close out the month of February before conference play begins. The Tide begins SEC action with two road matches, March 5 against Georgia and March 7 against Tennessee. Alabama’s conference home opener takes place March 12 when the Tide hosts South Carolina followed by a matchup with Florida on March 14. Alabama steps out of conference to host Tulane on March 21. The next weekend features the only home/away split weekend of the conference season, as Alabama hosts Vanderbilt on March 26 before traveling to Kentucky

on March 28. The Tide will spend the next weekend on the road as well taking on LSU in Baton Rouge on April 2 followed by Arkansas on April 4. Alabama’s final two home matches of the 2010 season take place on April 9 and April 11 against Mississippi State and Mississippi, respectively. The Tide then travels to Auburn to battle the Tigers to close out the regular season on April 17. Alabama will head back to Athens the next week, the site of the 2010 Women’s SEC Tennis Tournament. NCAA First and Second Round action begins May 14 with site locations to be determined. The NCAA Championships will be held in Athens, Ga. beginning on May 20. “This is a more mature, more poised group that recognizes the work and the investment required to be successful,” said Mainz. “We have strong leadership and initiative within this squad which I feel will be imperative this season.”

“I’ve been fortunate to have teams that understand the importance of a team concept. We’re a family and we play that way by supporting each other all the time.” - Head Tennis Coach Jenny Mainz

Year 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 TOTAL:

For Jenny Mainz, the hard work and desire to succeed she puts forth as Alabama’s women’s tennis coach began long before she took the job in 1998—it started during her own playing days at the University of Houston, where her success on the court was matched only by her All-American accolades in the classroom. Mainz, once ranked in the top ten nationally in doubles, was a three-year team captain for the Cougars and a two-time All-Southwest Conference selection, garnering numerous accolades for her dedication to the game of tennis on the court. Off the court, however, is where she really shined, earning GTE Academic All-American status and Dean’s List honors while a member of the Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Society. Perhaps it would be reasonable if Mainz, as a head coach in one of the nation’s most grueling tennis conferences, focused strictly on improving only the development of her players on the court in order to keep pace with some of the nation’s toughest competition. But the San Antonio native has managed to do just that while continuing to stress the off-the-court responsibilities of being a student-athlete. While Mainz has been the only coach in Alabama history to take the Tide to six consecutive NCAA tournaments and is only the second coach to record more than 100 career wins at the Capstone, her teams have additionally excelled in the classroom, earning the University’s highest GPA award among Alabama’s varsity sports six times since 2002, including the 2008 title, which the team earned with a combined overall 3.51 grade point average. On the court, Mainz’s coaching resume is just as strong. Since taking over the program in 1998, she has coached Alabama to the school’s first and second SEC Western Division Championships, which the Tide captured in 2003 and 2006. In 2004, she led Alabama to its fourth-straight winning season – an accomplishment that had not been done at Alabama in 11 years – capturing six

of that year’s nine matches decided by one point. The 2009 season was perhaps the most successful for Mainz, as she saw her team reach No. 16 in the nation during the season. The Tide finished at No. 26 after qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006, which was the highest finish for Alabama since finishing in the same spot in 2001. The team raced out to an 11-0 start to the season, setting the school record for consecutive wins. Mainz was named the 2009 Wilson/ITA South Region Coach of the Year. For the former kinesiology major, it all adds up to a winning formula: teamwork plus dedication, plus a little hard work, equals success. “I’ve been fortunate to have teams that understand the importance of a team concept,” Mainz said. “We’re a family and we play that way by supporting each other all the time.”

Rahim Esmail, a former standout for the University of Kentucky, enters his second season as an assistant with the Crimson Tide program. Prior to his appointment at Alabama, Esmail spent one year as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Eastern Kentucky University while completing his coursework for a master’s degree in sports administration. His responsibilities included on-court coaching, recruiting and various administrative tasks. Esmail spent two years on the ATP Tour where he reached the finals of three professional tournaments, once in singles and twice in doubles. He posted wins over top ATP Tour players such as Tommy Robredo, Feliciano Lopez and John Isner. As a player at the University of Kentucky from 2001-04, Esmail was a fixture at No. 4 singles and No. 1 doubles for the Wildcats. In 2002, he went 31-4 in singles and 23-2 in doubles to help Kentucky climb to No. 4 in the national rankings, serving as a team captain for the Wildcats in his junior and senior seasons. He was ranked as high as No. 54 nationally in singles at Kentucky and attained a doubles rank as high as No. 8. As a junior, Esmail was a six-time Canadian National singles finalist, a three-time junior Davis Cup team member, and winner of the 1998 national doubles championship. In 1999, Esmail competed in both the junior French Open and the junior U.S. Open.

A native of Coquitlam, British Columbia, born April 7, 1981, Esmail is the son of Brenda and Karim Esmail. He graduated from Fraser Valley High School of Distance Education in Vancouver, B.C., in 2000. Esmail is a 2005 graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Foreign Language (French) & International Economics.

Caroline Bentley, a 2005 graduate of Furman University, was welcomed with open arms by the Alabama womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis family as a volunteer assistant coach in 2008. A decorated tennis player herself, Bentley starred in the Furman lineup for four years earning Southern Conference Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors in 2004 and 2005 along with Furman Tennis MVP accolades in those same years. She was also a four-time all-conference selection in both singles and doubles. Bentley was a member of four Southern Conference Regular Season Championships in addition to three Southern Conference Tournament Championships. During her senior season, she played primarily at the No. 2 singles position where she went 24-1. She carried that same record in doubles at the No. 1 position and ranked as high as No. 34 nationally with her partner. Upon graduation, Bentley headed to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where she spent two years as a coach. The Huntsville native headed back to her home state where she is currently working towards her masters in business administration with a concentration in finance and real estate. Bentley, the daughter of Alice and Bryan Bentley, has four younger sisters (Jenn - 25, Ivy - 20, Cameron - 20, and Bailey - 12).

Baili Camino

Marouschka van Dijk Titia Wilmink

Robin Stephenson

Baili Camino posted one of the most impressive seasons in Crimson Tide history in 1997. The Ft. Meyers, Fla., native posted a 28-12 mark playing at No. 1 for the Crimson Tide. She became the first player in Tide history to earn bids to the main draw of all four collegiate grand slam events. At the National Claycourt Championships, the first leg of the collegiate grand slam, she made it to the semifinals before falling to eventual champion Lauren Nikolaus of William and Mary. After helping the Tide to make it to the NCAA Championships, Camino again made Alabama history by winning her way to the round of 16 in the NCAA Championships singles draw, thereby earning All-American honors. She beat No. 7 Melissa Zimpfer of Wisconsin in the first round and UNLV’s No. 12 ranked Marianne Vallin, before being upset by Duke’s No. 50 ranked Wendy Fix.

Titia Wilmink came to Tuscaloosa from Pijnacker, The Netherlands. She arrived on the Alabama campus in the fall of 1990 and by her sophomore year she had become the first Crimson Tide women’s tennis player in a decade to make it to the NCAA Championships. In 1992, making it into the field from the second alternate slot, she made it into the NCAA field. In the fall of 1991, Marouschka van Dijk, of Apeldoorn, Holland, joined Wilmink at the Capstone and the seed was planted for the most successful doubles tandem in Tide history. In 1993, Wilmink, then a senior, and van Dijk, then a sophomore, swatted their way into Alabama women’s tennis legend, becoming the program’s first All-Americans. Wilmink-van Dijk became one of the nation’s hottest pairings, making history at the Riviera All-American Championship by becoming the first duo to emerge from qualifying all the way to the championship final in that fall Grand Slam Event. They brought home Alabama’s first regional title, winning the 1993 South Region Doubles Championship in their own backyard of Tuscaloosa. Positioned at the No. 1 doubles slot for Alabama, they were ranked as high as No. 7 nationally, a mark that pushed them into the NCAA Tournament as the seventh seeds - a coup that nets instant All-American status. By year’s end the “Dutch Duo” collected a 28-7 overall record, winning 13 of their final 15 matches. They ended the year ranked No. 10 nationally and embedded themselves in Alabama women’s tennis lore as its first All-Americans.

Robin Stephenson became just the second Alabama singles player to earn All-American honors in the spring of 2005. Stephenson posted a 27-13 record, her third consecutive 20-win season, during her junior campaign and finished the season ranked ninth in the final ITA rankings. She also qualified for her second consecutive NCAA singles tournament en route to earning All-American distinction. Throughout the course of the season she became the highest ranked singles player in the history of Alabama tennis when she reached No. 4 in the ITA rankings on Sept. 6, 2005. Sixteen of her 27 wins in 2005 came against ranked opponents. In October, Stephenson advanced to the semifinals of the ITA South Regional Championships and in November, she fought back after an opening round loss to win the consolation draw at the ITA National Indoor Championships.
