2011 Season Outlook 2011 AUM Men’s Tennis Preview Last season, the Senators finished 26-2 and won their ninth national title. However, a significant change in team personnel and a coaching change have left several important questions unanswered. Even with a new head coach at the helm and five key newcomers on the squad, the goal for the AUM men’s tennis teams is simple. Win the 10th National Championship in school history. Many teams across the country would be thrilled to return a pair of All-American’s, but the Senators must also replace five All-America selections that did not return. Sophomore Loic Didavi, a second-team All-American in 2010, and fellow sophomore Bence Toth, an honorable mention All-America selection last season, highlight the returning players for AUM. Both Didavi and Toth are experienced players, appearing in 17 singles matches each and playing a combined 43 doubles matches. Didavi posted a 14-3 record singles and an 18-3 mark in doubles, while Toth was 15-2 in singles matches and 18-4 in doubles play. Along with the experience of having a year under his belt at the collegiate level, Toth also enjoyed a stellar fall season in which he won the ITA South Region singles championship and finished third at the ITA Championships. Sophomore Claudio Andrade also returns following a freshman campaign in which he finished 8-1 in singles play. Joining the Senators are sophomores Bruno Savi, Boris Obama and Josh Reason, as well as freshmen Philipp Mohr and Zinelabidine Jouini. Sophomore Loic Didavi Savi and Obama will compete for the No. 1 and No. 2 spot in singles, while Didavi and Toth are slated to battle for the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. Andrade and Jouini are likely to challenge for the final two spots, but Reason and Mohr are also expected to see action in singles. In doubles, the duo of Andrade and Savi are likely to be paired after the duo won both the ITA South Region and the ITA Championships this fall. The tandem also advanced to the championship match of the USTA/ITA “Super Bowl” of Small College Tennis. Didavi is projected to be paired with Obama, as the pair won two matches at the ITA South Region Championship in the fall before they were defeated by Savi and Andrade. The final team will likely be composed of Toth and Jouini, while Mohr and Reason will also be factors in the doubles rotation. Sophomore Bence Toth

2011 AUM Women’s Tennis Preview Expectations for the 2011 season are high for the AUM women’s tennis program, which had its streak of six consecutive NAIA National Championships snapped last season. Despite the return of four experienced players back from their national runner-up team, the Lady Senators will begin the season two points down in each match, as they have only five players on their current roster. Junior Ana Veselinovic and sophomore Morgane Zowczak, both of whom earned All-America honors in 2010, highlight the returning players, while junior Kveta Hajkova and sophomore Alina Tseplukhova also return with a year of collegiate experience under their belt. Veselinovic finished her first season at AUM with a 10-3 singles record and an 18-4 doubles record, playing primarily at the No. 1 position of each. Zowczak also enjoyed a strong inaugural campaign with the Lady Senators, playing 18 singles matches and posting a 14-4 record. She also excelled in doubles play, appearing at all three spots, and recording an 18-4 record. Hajkova and Tseplukhova were late additions to the program and played in just 11 singles contests between the two, but were victorious in 10 of those matches. Hajkova also captured eight doubles victories, playing mainly at the No. 2 position. Junior Ana Veselinovic Freshman Jade Curtis joins the program from Saltash, England, and has already made an impact on the program. During the fall season, Veselinovic and Curtis battled in the championship match of the ITA South Regional Championship, while the duo of Curtis and Hajkova captured the doubles crown at the tournament. Veselinovic and Curtis are slated to battle for the top spot in the singles rotation for the Lady Senators this season. Hajkova also enjoyed a strong fall season and will compete with Zowczak for the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, respectively. Tseplukhova will likely play at the No. 5 position. In doubles, Veselinovic and Zowczak are expected to form the top tandem, while Hajkova and Curtis will likely team at the No. 2 spot. Tseplukhova and Hajkova are also a viable duo to add to the rotation, should an injury occur. Sophomore Morgane Zowczak

MISSION STATEMENT Auburn Montgomery’s mission, as the metropolitan campus of Auburn University, a land-grant institution, is to foster and exemplify excellence in education through instruction, research and service. Auburn Montgomery blends the traditional views of the university as a community of scholars with the contemporary view of the university as an integral part of the surrounding community, state and region. AUM provides academic programs that are characteristic of the finest traditions of scholarship and consistent with the responsibility of the university to provide support for the functions of government, regional economic growth and cultural enrichment through the arts. WHY CHOOSE AUBURN MONTGOMERY? Today’s economic crisis doesn’t have to cost you your college education. This year alone, Auburn Montgomery offered students more than $4 million in Pell Grants and another $20 million in student loans. Couple that with challenging classes and small class sizes, and Auburn Montgomery can provide you with an excellent education at a price you can afford.

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY Auburn Montgomery was established in 1967 by Act 403 of the Alabama Legislature. This action resulted from the request of the citizens of the Montgomery area to establish an additional degree-granting institution to serve Montgomery and the surrounding counties. The first classes were offered in September 1969. A 500-acre tract on the east side of Montgomery was purchased for the site of the new campus. Two architectural firms developed the master plan for the new campus and designed the original buildings, which were occupied in the fall of 1971. A broad-based academic institution, AUM is organized into five schools: Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Nursing and Sciences, while the Air University Graduate Program and Division of Continuing Education offer additional educational opportunities. In 1973 AUM was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as an operationally separate

institution. In 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008, accreditation was reaffirmed by the Southern Association.

A STUDENT-TO-FACULTY RATIO OF 15:1 At Auburn Montgomery you won’t spend your freshman year in classes filled with 300 of your peers. Our classes are deliberately kept small (an average of 20 students), giving you more personal attention and allowing your professors to get to know you. BIG CAMPUS BENEFITS WITH A SMALL CAMPUS FEEL With programs of study in more than 90 areas, Auburn Montgomery’s courses run the gamut from accounting to sociology. We have sororities and fraternities for those who want to go Greek and numerous active clubs and organizations. Plus, your destination is never more than a five-minute walk on campus. FOUR-DAY WEEKS At Auburn Montgomery, many students take classes just four days a week – Monday through Thursday – making it easier for them to work, get home on the weekends or even travel. But students also find AUM can accommodate just about any schedule since classes are offered days, nights, weekends and online. We even offer a growing number of mini-term classes, allowing students to progress more rapidly. CUTTING-EDGE PROGRAMS Auburn Montgomery’s Storage Area Network Center of Excellence teaches information technology students to manage networks that store vast quantities of digital data. One of a handful of such centers in the country, it has been extremely successful in placing graduates in rewarding high-tech jobs with companies like Unisys.

This is Auburn University at Montgomery ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE Senators athletic teams have a championship reputation in NAIA Division I and Southern States Athletic Conference sports. Our men’s tennis team is the reigning national champion, while women’s tennis, men’s soccer, and men’s and women’s basketball have put forth standout performances in the past as well. RECOGNIZED EXCELLENCE Auburn Montgomery is the consistent top choice of readers of the Montgomery Advertiser, who have named AUM the best local college for the last four years. Our School of Business ranks among the top five percent in the world and is ranked a “Best Business School” by The Princeton Review.

AUM ATHLETICS FACILITIES Since the installation of its athletic department in 1975, Auburn University at Montgomery has been known throughout the NAIA for its competitiveness on the field and court of play. Furthermore, AUM offers some of the best facilities in the Southeast to accommodate that competitive spirit. The AUM Physical Education Complex serves as the venue for all AUM men’s and women’s basketball home games. Originally built in 1976, the gymnasium underwent a face-lift during the Summer of 2010. Renovations included a refinishing of the gym floor as well as the installation of new bleachers that seat 2,760. The newest addition to the list of AUM athletics facilities comes with the newly built on-campus softball field, on which the AUM softball team was able to play all home games during the 2010 season.

The Southern States Athletic Conference and NAIA

The 2010-11 academic year marks the 11th year for Auburn Montgomery athletics competing as a member of the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC). The newly expanded conference now showcases 16 member institutions located throughout the southeast, including the states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee. The SSAC was established in 1949 as the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletics Conference with six member schools, including Oglethorpe University, Berry College, Valdosta State University, North Georgia College and State University, Piedmont College and Georgia Southern University. In 1980 the conference was renamed the Georgia Athletic Conference and remained so until 1988, when its expansion into Georgia’s bordering states brought the need to change its name to the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference (GACC). In 2003, the official name was again changed to the Southern States Athletic Conference. The conference membership has worked for more than 60 years to maintain a level of competition, excellence and quality that appropriately represents its 16 member institutions. Since the conference’s inception and affiliation with the NAIA, 21 SSAC teams and 10 individuals have claimed national titles, while 22 teams have finished national runnersup. Since the inception of its athletic program in 1975, Auburn Montgomery has been a member of the National As-

sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). In those 35 years, AUM has claimed 19 national championships, and six of the school’s eight varsity programs have appeared in a national championship game. The NAIA, headquartered in Olathe, Kan., is a national organization with nearly 300 institutional members and over 60,000 student-athletes across the United States and Canada. Throughout its history, the NAIA has provided strong leadership for all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Since its introduction of the intercollegiate championship of basketball in 1937, the NAIA has maintained its elite standards while administering first-rate athletics programs. The NAIA has continuously affirmed its commitment to equality by becoming the first national organization to offer institutional postseason opportunities to black studentathletes in 1948, to allow institutional membership to historically black institutions in 1953, and on Aug. 1, 1980, to vote in favor of the establishment of athletics programs for women. Today, the NAIA strengthens its commitment to studentathletes and strives to enrich their college experience by supporting academic achievement and character development. The NAIA approaches sport and activity as an opportunity to intentionally teach beyond the fundamentals through the philosophy of the NAIA Champions of Character program.
