Facilities
BUSCH TENNIS COURTS
One of the newest athletics venues at the College of William and
Mary, the Busch Courts tennis complex opened in September of
2001. It is the outdoor home of the Tribe tennis squads.
The complex features eight individual hard court surfaces. Each
court features California Corners, a unique design that includes quarter fences that run along the sidelines to allow for uninterrupted play.
Prior to the 2007-08 school year, the courts at Busch were resurfaced.
There is stadium seating for approximately 500 people at Busch
Courts, and there is also a state-of-the-art lighting system to accommodate night matches.

MCCORMACK-NAGELSEN
TENNIS CENTER
Dedicated to excellence in academics and athletics, the College
of William and Mary in historic Colonial Williamsburg is proud to
offer one of the finest athletic facilities in the country—the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center. Located on South Henry Street adjacent to the graduate housing complex, the McCormack-Nagelsen
Tennis Center, which opened in 1995, boasts impeccable tennis facilities and houses the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Women’s
Tennis Hall of Fame. Prior to the 2007-08 school year, the courts at
the tennis center were resurfaced.
The facility was made possible through a generous gift from
Mark H. McCormack, a 1951 graduate of William and Mary, and his
wife, former world-class tennis professional Betsy Nagelsen. As the
former chairman, president and chief executive officer of International Management Group, McCormack was widely recognized as
the founder of the sports marketing industry.
The McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center features six indoor
tennis courts using the GreenSet GrandPrix Surface (rubberized
base under color coat), air conditioning and indirect lighting at a
competitive level. The facility also includes member and team locker
rooms, several spacious lobbies and spectator viewing that boasts
362 stadium seats as well as a mezzanine seating area. In addition,
the ITA and Rolex generously donated a state-of-the-art electronic
scoreboard.
The Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Women’s Tennis Hall of
Fame contains a collection of artifacts and records pertaining to collegiate women’s tennis, and enshrines former players, coaches and
contributors that have impacted the sport. The Hall of Fame also
functions as a library, archive and research center for intercollegiate
women’s tennis.

CHAMPIONSHIP CREDENTIALS
- The W&M duo of Megan
Moulton-Levy and Katarina
Zoricic won the women’s tennis
program’s second national title,
taking home the doubles crown
at the 2006 ITA National Indoor
Championship. The W&M pair
went on to finish as the NCAA
runner ups as well in 2007.
- The College has won 19 CAA
Championships in the 23-year
history of the conference, including the 2007 season. The
Tribe has earned a spot in the
NCAA Tournament on 16 occasions and in 2007 advanced to
the round of 16 for the first time
since 2003.
- On 16 occasions, including
each of the last seven seasons,
the Tribe has taken home an
individual championship at the
ITA East Regional in either singles or doubles.
ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY
The Tribe has not only been a success on the court, but it has also
been an active member of the community as well. This past fall, the
women’s tennis program took park in the Raise a Racket tennis fund
raiser to benefit March of Dimes, an organization that helps fight
prematurity, birth defects and infant mortality. The event helped raise
$7,000 for the organization. W&M student-athletes coached and
played matches, with and against, the event’s participants. The Tribe
also checked participants in and sold raffle tickets at the event.
In the fall of 2005, both the men’s and women’s tennis programs
helped raise money to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. The programs held a car wash and raised $1,200, which was donated to the
American Red Cross specifically for the victims of the disaster.
TRIBE TENNIS ON THE ROAD
Over the last four years, the Tribe has made trips to the following states: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Last season, the Tribe spent spring break in Colorado. Recently,
W&M has also had extended road trips to Florida, Chicago, California, Texas, New Orleans and Las Vegas. The Tribe will have stops in
Texas and California during the 2008 spring campaign.

Kevin Epley
KEVIN EPLEY
HEAD COACH
FIFTH SEASON AT W&M
SEVENTH SEASON OVERALL
SMU (1996)
In seven seasons as a Division I head coach, William and Mary’s Kevin Epley
has firmly established himself as one of the nation’s elite mentors. A quick glance at
his resume shows four top-10 national finishes and five conference championships.
Individually, he has tutored an individual, or doubles team, to the NCAA’s six out
of the last seven years, highlighted by Megan Moulton-Levy and Katarina Zoricic’s
run to the finals of the NCAA Doubles Championship last season. In total, Epley’s
charges have produced a total of 15 All-America honors.
Over Epley’s four-year tenure at W&M, the College is 78-31 (.716) in dual
matches. On three occasions, including 2007, he has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year. Over his seven-year career as a Division I head
coach, Epley is 133-50 (.727).
Epley led W&M to an impressive 22-3 mark during the 2007 dual match season, culminating in a Round of 16 appearance at the NCAA Championships in
Athens, Ga. The College reeled off a school-record 11 consecutive wins to open
the dual match campaign, including a 4-3 win over then-No.1 and eventual national
champion Georgia Tech in February. It marked the first No. 1-ranked team the
Tribe had defeated since the 1995 season. The Tribe captured its third CAA Championship under Epley and finished the season ranked No. 15 nationally. It was the
highest final ranking for the College since finishing eighth in 2003.
The 2006-07 season was monumental individually for the Tribe as well. At
the 2006 ITA National Indoor Championship, Epley coached Moulton-Levy and
Zoricic to a national championship in doubles. The pair earned a spot in the championships by winning the East Region and then claimed the national title by winning
the 16-team tournament, the most excusive of the three collegiate national championship events.
The honors rolled in for the Tribe in 2007 as five W&M players earned AllCAA honors in singles, while a pair of doubles teams earned the accolade as well.
The College swept the major CAA awards as Moulton-Levy won the CAA Player
of the Year honor (her third) and the Most Outstanding Player at the CAA Tournament accolade as well, while Ragini Acharya was named the CAA Rookie of the
Year and Epley garnered CAA Coach of the Year distinction. Moulton-Levy was
an All-American in both singles and doubles, becoming the first Tribe player since
1998 to accomplish the feat. Zoricic was an All-American as well in doubles. Under
Epley’s direction, Moulton-Levy became the first female player to win the ITA/Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship in consecutive seasons (2006
and 2007).
During the 2006 outdoor season, the Tribe was ranked as high as No. 18 in the
national polls and finished the year at No. 27. W&M advanced to the title match of
the CAA Tournament and earned an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament. The
Tribe defeated three teams ranked among the top 20 nationally, including a victory
over then-No. 5 Duke. Moulton-Levy became the first Tribe female singles player
to reach the semifinals of the NCAA Individual Championships. Moulton-Levy was
the first W&M singles player to earn All-American honors since 1998, while also
raking in a plethora of other awards on the year, including CAA and VaSID Player
of the Year and the ITA/Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship.
The Tribe ended 2005 ranked 20th in the nation after reaching a high of No. 6
during the season, the program’s best ranking since 1997. W&M posted three wins
over top-25 opponents, including a road upset over No. 5 Duke.

Western Athletic Conference championship and Epley was named the WAC Coach of
the Year in both 2002 and 2003. His tenure in Fresno produced eight All-Americans,

3.6, or higher, each year at Fresno State.
Prior to his time at Fresno State, Epley was an assistant coach at the University
of Arizona for the 1999-2000 season, helping the Wildcats to a No. 24 final national
ranking and a trip to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. He was also an assistant
coach at the University of Alabama for the 1998-99 campaign.
Epley has significant experience in coaching some of America’s top professional
players, including working with the legendary Billie Jean King as an assistant coach for
the 2000 United States Olympic Women’s Tennis Team, helping the U.S. win a gold
and bronze medal in singles and another gold medal in doubles. In the summer of
2001, he was the head coach of the Saint Louis Aces of the World Team Tennis pro
league, which included players such as Andy Roddick, Rick Leach, Lindsay Davenport
and Jared Palmer. Epley served as an assistant coach on the U.S. Women’s Tennis Federation Cup Team from 1996-2002 and also was a personal coach for Davenport and
Patty Schnyder.
Epley grew up in the Baltimore area and graduated from Southern Methodist
University in 1996 with a degree in finance. He was the team’s No. 1 player and captain,
and was twice selected to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll for Academic and Athletic
Excellence.
Epley and his wife, Krissy, reside in Williamsburg.

Season Preview
Katarina Zoricic and Megan Moulton-Levy earned All-America honors
in doubles and won the ITA National Indoor Championship in 2006-07.
With all eight players returning from last season’s run to the NCAA
Round of 16, the 2008 season appears to be a bright one for the Tribe. Last
year, the College finished No. 15 nationally with a 22-3 overall mark, while
winning its 19th CAA Championship. Fifth-year head coach Kevin Epley will
have a luxury not afforded to many in the form of his entire lineup from a
season ago returning in 2007-08.
W&M will be loaded as the top of the lineup, highlighted by a trio of
players who were ranked among the top 90 in the country in the Fila/ITA
National Preseason Singles Rankings. For the second straight season, senior
Megan Moulton-Levy was ranked among the top-10 nationally at No. 7 followed by junior Katarina Zoricic and sophomore Ragini Acharya at No. 46
and No. 90, respectively. Moulton-Levy and Zoricic, who were ranked No.
2 at the end of the 2007 campaign in doubles, found themselves atop the
preseason doubles rankings in the fall of 2007.
Moulton-Levy returns as not only the top player on the Tribe’s roster,
but the top player in the Colonial Athletic Association. Last season, MoultonLevy was named the CAA Player of the Year for the third straight campaign
and earned All-America accolades in both singles and doubles. A four-time
All-American, she has 101 career singles victories and 102 career doubles wins
following competition in the fall.
Moulton-Levy has held down the No. 1 singles position in each of her
three years. In those seasons, the Monroe, Mich., native is 45-11 overall at the
top singles spot. She owns 54 wins over nationally ranked players.
The W&M junior trio of Zoricic, Klaudyna Kasztelaniec and Barbara
Zidek continued to make an impact in 2007 and will look for more of the
same with the turn of the calendar. Zoricic, who finished last season ranked
No. 69 nationally in singles, was a force at the No. 2 singles slot for the Tribe
in 2007. She amassed an impressive 14-2 mark at the No. 2 position and, while
filling in for an injured Moulton-Levy, went 3-1 at the top singles position. For
the second straight season, Zoricic was a first-team all-league selection and
earned the first All-America distinction of her career in doubles.
Zoricic’s impact on the Tribe’s lineup was no more evident than in the
College’s 4-3 upset of No. 1-ranked and eventual national champion Georgia
Tech. With the match tied at three and despite battling cramps in her legs,
Zoricic fought off No. 25-ranked Kirsten Flowers in three sets to clinch the
Tribe victory. Zoricic finished last season at 30-8 overall with six wins over
nationally ranked foes, including three against top-30 opponents.
Kasztelaniec enjoyed a breakout season in 2007. She finished last season
at 25-9 overall in singles on her way to earning Third-Team All-CAA honors. She clinched both W&M victories in the NCAA Regional and claimed
the College’s lone victory in singles play against Georgia at the No. 4 slot.
Kasztelaniec played as high as No. 3 for the Tribe last season, but spent the
majority of the campaign at No. 4. In dual matches, she put up an impressive
13-4 mark.
Zidek made the brunt of her impact in the doubles lineup, but when
called upon was up to the task in the W&M’s singles rotation. For the second
straight season, Zidek earned Second-Team All-CAA honors in doubles. She
finished the year with 19 doubles wins and 17 singles victories.

The Tribe’s sophomore quartet of Acharya, Magdalena Bresson, Carmen
Pop and Lauren Sabacinski was highly touted entering their rookie campaign
in 2007 and more than lived up to the hype. The group was ranked No. 2
in the Tennis Recruiting Network freshman class rankings. Combined, the
quartet went 96-29 (.768) in singles and 80-29 (.734) in doubles.
Acharya was one of the top freshmen nationally, racking up an impressive 32-5 singles ledger. She moved up the singles lineup and found a home
at the No. 3 slot. Acharya’s singles winning percentage of .865 was the best
ever for a W&M freshman and the second-highest overall in W&M history.
At various times during the 2007 season, Acharya was ranked in the national
singles rankings and won school-record 27-straight singles matches during
her rookie campaign. The Pulaski, Va., native was named both the CAA and
VaSID State Rookie of the Year in 2007.
Acharya continued her dominating play into the summer, winning the
ITA Summer National Singles Championship in Bloomington, Ind. She defeated three of the top five seeded players at the event, including a win over
the top-seed Lindsey Burdette of Stanford, who was an All-American in both
singles and doubles and earned a final singles ranking of No. 23 in 2007.
Bresson and Sabacinski were both valuable pieces to the Tribe lineup at
the No. 5 and No. 6 positions. Bresson was a Second-Team All-CAA selection and finished the year with 24 singles wins. She also won 30 doubles
matches during her rookie campaign, which was the second-most for a Tribe
freshman in school history.
Sabacinski was 15-4 in dual matches for the College on her way to a 26-7
overall singles ledger. She racked up a 10-4 dual-match record at the No. 6
position and a 5-0 mark at the No. 5 slot. Her singles winning percentage of
.788 ranked as the ninth-best for a Tribe rookie in school history.
Pop finished her rookie season with a 13-4 singles mark. She won the
opening 11 matches of W&M career. Pop won a pair of fall singles flights
during her perfect 10-0 fall singles ledger.
W&M has a number of options in the doubles lineup highlighted by the
All-America pair of Moulton-Levy and Zoricic. The duo finished last season
at 40-4 overall and was the NCAA Doubles Championship runner up after
winning the ITA National Indoor Doubles Championship during the fall
season.
The doubles tandem of Kasztelaniec and Zidek earned Second-Team
All-CAA honors. The Kasztelaniec-Zidek pair finished last season with a 9-4
record. The sophomore duo of Acharya and Bresson spent most of the 2007
season as a pair as well, playing at both the No. 2 and No. 3 pair’s slots. The
tandem went 18-6 overall last season. Acharya and Bresson finished the year
on a high note, clinching the doubles point in the Tribe’s CAA Championship
match against VCU. The duo also won at the No. 3 slot against Georgia in
the NCAA Round of 16 as part of its five-match winning streak to end the
year.
Sabacinski could also figure into the Tribe’s doubles lineup having
teamed with both Kasztelaniec and Acharya. Sabacinski and Kasztelaniec
earned CAA Doubles Team of the Week honors after helping the Tribe to
wins over Wake Forest and Penn. Acharya and Sabacinski were a perfect 3-0
in doubles during the 2007 season. The pair clinched the doubles point for
the College in NCAA Regional victories over Richmond and Wake Forest.
The Tribe will once again face a gantlet of a schedule in 2008. The W&M
ledger includes 13 matches against teams who competed in the NCAA Tournament in 2007, including five teams that advanced to the NCAA Round
of 16. The list of opponents who advanced to the round of 16 last season
includes Northwestern (Jan. 20), Baylor (Feb. 23), Stanford (March 4), California (March 5), Fresno State (March 7). To make matters even more challenging, all five of those contests will come on the road.
W&M will make a pair of extended road trips in California and Texas
during the 2008 season. Over a two-week period, W&M will face six opponents who were ranked among the top 40 in the final ITA rankings on the
road. W&M will face No. 27 Texas on Feb. 22 followed by road trips to No.
13 Baylor on Feb. 23 and No. 38 TCU on Feb. 24. The Tribe will battle three
top-15 teams in No. 2 Stanford on March 4, No. 5 California on March 5 and
No. 14 Fresno State on March 7.
Along with its challenging schedule, the Tribe will compete in the prestigious ITA National Indoor Championships in Madison, Wis. It will be the
12th appearance for the College in the National Indoor Championships and
the first for the College since 2004. W&M will look for its 20th CAA title
at the conference championship, April 17-20, in Newport News, Va. The
NCAA Championships will be hosted by Tulsa University at the Michael D.
Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla., May 15-26.
