But when they are brought together and grow as a team, they will have more power and can make greater achievements. Last season. Fresno State women's tennis team marked a 14- 11 record and finished in fifth in the WAC. Their final national ranking was 42nd. "We had some disappointments along the way." said Irene Harris, women's tennis head coach. "But we also had boosts that we didn't have in the past." Those boosts were beating USC in January and winning the title of the University of San Diego Women's Tennis Classic in March. "We've never done that before." Harris said. "Overall, we had an excellent year." But Harris wants her team to do even better this year. "Our goals for this season are to improve our ranking, to win the conference [WAC] championships, and also to advance to the final site of the NCAA Tournament." Harris said. This season, all of last season's starting players have returned to the Bulldogs. During summer, every player had practiced by herself to get ready for this season. Dora Djilianova, who figures to be the Bulldogs' number one player, played in 17 tournaments in Europe. She was only an example of the active shedule the Fresno State players kept.Harris said other players kept just as busy. "They've played a lot. They all have been working hard," Harris said. "I think we have a good start already." Last season, Djilianova had a 30-10 record and was ranked as high as 25th in the nation, #hich is the highest raking ever for a Bull¬ dog player. She advanced to the NCAA tournament for a second time. Her 30 singles wins became a school record. "[For this season 1.1 want to keep on playing the way I've played," Djilianova said. Liz Marpuri, with a 23-13 record last year, is seeking another suc¬ cessful year. "I'm excited about the new sea¬ son," Marpuri said. "We are ready." Laura Townsend. with a 19-12 record last year, also wants to have a good season. She was awarded the Most Improved Player award for 1997. "I have improved a lot and want to improve more," Townsend said. Townsend, the only senior on the team, hopes to close her college career with a good season. "We are going to be better and better." Townsend said. "Definitely, this team is going to be the best." There is another good sight the 'Dogs will have an excellent sea¬ son. The Bulldogs have landed freshman Liesl Fichtbauer. a native of Germany. She was ranked in the top 25 of the 17-18 age bracket in Germany. "We have an excellent addition," Harris said. "She is a very good player." Fichtbauer has already impacted the team. She finished in second place in the open women singles in the Fresno City Tennis Champion¬ ship held Labor Day weekend. "I am very glad to come here." Fichtbauer said. In the doubles matches tourna¬ ment, she also won the title teamed with Djilianova, who defended her singles title. "She [Fichtbauer] is a good player and has a nice personality. File Photo Laura Townsend will look to lead the Fresno State women's tennis team to a winning season. She fits well to our team," Djilianova said. Although the Bulldogs will face many tough opponents such as Pepperdine and San Diego State in January, USC in February and Boise Stale in March, they seem to be off to a good start this season. "We are in a very competitive conference for tennis." Harris said. .. "But it certainly looks like we will have another excellent year."
