Aztecs Play Host to Annual Tournament This Weekend
SDSU's women's tennis team season opens its fall 2004 schedule with the SDSU Fall Classic, Oct. 1-3, at SDSU Courts. This year's field includes 2004 NCAA tournament participant Alabama, Conference USA's third-place finisher Houston, and cross-town rival San Diego.
Mattera on the Mesa
The 2004-05 season marks Peter Mattera's 24th season on Montezuma Mesa and his 12th as San Diego State's head coach. In his 11 seasons at the helm, Mattera has compiled a career record of 171-104 (.622) and has guided seven teams to the NCAA tournament. What is more impressive is that nine of his 11 squads have finished with an overall record of .500 or better.
The Future is Now
The Aztecs return five players from last year's 9-15 (4-3 MWC) team. Among the returners are 2004 MWC all-conference selection and 81st-ranked player, junior Dita Hauerlandova, and one half of last year's all-conference doubles team in senior Indra Erichsen. Also returning are juniors Andrea Hermansen and Sarah Sansom and sophomore Alesya Vidov. In addition to the five returners, this year's squad welcomes four freshmen -Carla Bell, Eliska Krausova, Sisse Nielsen and Nina Spaeth.
