Coach Brett Simpson/Prospectus
Lady Bearcats add depth in 2013
Coach Brett Simpson
Brett Simpson
begins his
eighth year as
head men’s
and women’s
tennis coach
at Lander
after serving
as the head
Coach Brett Simpson
coach at Anderson University for eight years.
A three-time All-American at
Lander, Simpson was a part of four
consecutive national championship teams from 1991-94. He was
the 1993 Peach Belt Conference
Player of the Year, Rolex Southeast singles champion and Rolex
national singles finalist. In 1994 he
was part of the NCAA Division II
doubles championship team.
Simpson was inducted into
Lander’s Athletic Hall of Fame in
June 2002.
After taking over the program
at Anderson in July 1997, Simpson was able to re-establish it to
national prominence with two trips
to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and
six consecutive NCAA Regional
Tournament berths. His men’s team
at Anderson dominated with a 65-5
conference record, which included
four regular-season and three
tournament conference championships in six years. During this time
Simpson was named Conference
Coach of the Year in 2002 and
2004, Region Coach of the Year in
2001 and S.C. Coach of the Year in
2002.
During his seven years at Lander,
Simpson posted a 62-26 record
with the men's team including a
23-7 Peach Belt Conference record.
Simpson started the women’s program in 2007 and their three-year
record is 30-31.
The men’s team has captured one
regular-season conference title and
has reached the NCAA regional
tournament all seven years, finishing as high as No. 8 nationally in
2012.
T
he Lander women's tennis team has a new look this spring, but, according to head
coach Brett Simpson, the goal is still the same.
"Our goal is to get a regional bid," said Simpson, whose team was 9-11 overall and 4-8
in the Peach Belt Conference in 2012. "I feel like we have a chance to do well."
In addition to the three returning players from last year – senior Aurelia Ruffat from
Blanquefort, France, junior Cayce Bradley, Walwick, N.J., and sophomore Lori Flick,
Greenwood – Simpson was able to recruit five new players for the 2013 season.
According to Lander's results in fall tournaments, the top recruit is junior transfer
Carolina Lainez. Lainez, who came from Western Carolina University and is a native of
Zaragoza, Spain, is ranked No. 12 in the Southeast Region rankings.
Two other transfers include junior Tiffany Vanhpraseuth, a High Point, N.C. native
who last played at UNC Charlotte, and sophomore Marion Courbis, who hails from Paris,
France and played at Southeast Louisiana.
The two freshmen are Renata Mello, Rio, Brazil, and Ainhoa Rico Martin, Madrid,
Spain.
Last season, Ruffat was 5-14 overall in singles play competing mostly at the Nos. 1 and
2 positions. Bradley posted a 10-10 record mostly at No. 4 and Flick was 4-10 at Nos. 5
and 6.
Lander opens the season at 2:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 1 in a non-conference home match
against Newberry College at the Joe Cabri Tennis Center. After a road match at Mars
Hill on Feb. 2, Lander will host Coker on Feb. 8 and North Greenville on Feb. 13, before
opening the Peach Belt Conference schedule at UNC Pembroke on Feb. 16.
The perennial tough Peach Belt Conference has three Top 10 teams in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's national preseason poll, including top-ranked and defending
national champion Armstrong Atlantic, No. 7 Columbus State and No. 10 Francis Marion.
Other ranked PBC teams are No. 19 Georgia College, No. 39 Flagler, No. 44 USC Aiken,
and No. 45 Augusta State.
Lander's success will start with its doubles play.
"That is where experience helps," added Simpson. A lot of players haven't played a lot
of doubles, so they have to learn that. When you are experienced, it helps with doubles.
Our combinations are pretty sorted out already because that chemistry is so important."
Simpson also feels good about Lander's singles play.
"Everyone is motivated to do well," he said. "Our depth is strong, so we should be good
all the way down the lineup and that is so important when we get into our Peach Belt
matches."

About Lander
HISTORY
Lander University was founded by Methodist clergyman
Samuel Lander in 1872 as Williamston Female College in Williamston, S.C. It remained a private institution for 26 years. In
1898, the College gained support of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1904, the
College was relocated to Greenwood, S.C., and was renamed
Lander College in honor of its founder.
In 1948, when the Methodist Conference, pursuant to a policy
of consolidation in its education efforts, decided to end support
of Lander College, interested citizens of Greenwood formed The
Lander Foundation as a nonprofit corporation and leased the
College from the Church.
In 1951, the county of Greenwood obtained the College name
and property from
the Methodist
Conference. The
South Carolina
General Assembly
created the Greenwood County
Education Commission, known
as The Lander
Foundation, to
serve as the board
of control for the
College. Lander
thus became the
only four-year liberal arts college in
the United States
to be controlled
and financed by
a county government.
On July 1, 1973, Lander College came under the control of the
Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of South Carolina, making Lander a state-supported college. The State College Board of
Trustees governed Lander, the College of Charleston and Francis
Marion College. Effective July 1, 1988, governance of Lander
was vested in the Lander College Board of Trustees.
On July 1, 1992, by action of the Board of Trustees, the institution became Lander University.
Lander was founded as a college for women. Men were admitted in 1943, and the institution is now completely coeducational.
Lander University subscribes to a policy of equal educational
and employment opportunity for all.
Mission Statement
Grounded in the belief that education is a liberating force
which makes it possible for an individual to live a life of
meaningful activity, of personal satisfaction, and of service to
others as a neighbor and a citizen, Lander University has chosen
teaching and learning as its principal concerns and providing
a challenging education for qualified students as its mission.
Through its liberal arts programs and its professional schools for
business, education and nursing, the university offers an undergraduate curriculum that combines a broad liberal education with
specialized study leading either to immediate application in a
career or to more advanced study. The undergraduate programs
provide opportunities for students to achieve competence in a
major discipline and to explore a broad core curriculum designed
to assist them in developing the ability (1) to gather and critically analyze information from a variety of fields and to use that
information as a basis for reasoned judgments and for effective
problem solving, (2) to synthesize diverse ideas and information,
and (3) to understand and convey ideas clearly. In addition to its
undergraduate programs, Lander provides a limited number of
m
master’s programs
aand post-graduate
ccourses that
rrespond to criticcal needs of the
iimmediate region
aand the state. Suppporting the univversity’s role as a
tteaching instituttion and recogniziing that scholarsship is essential
tto establishing
aand maintaining
eexcellence of insstruction, Lander
ffaculty engage
iin scholarly and
ccreative activitties appropriate
tto their teaching
fields. In addition, the faculty and staff recognize Lander’s responsibility to the
public and to the local economy; therefore, the university serves
as an intellectual and cultural center and cooperates with various
agencies, schools and businesses.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Lander University has over 60 organizations and clubs, each
offering students different opportunities. The choices, challenges
and opportunities students face by participating in these organizations will assist them in classes and will allow them to meet new
friends and socialize with old friends. There are many different
areas to choose from, such as academic organizations, clubs
and interest groups, media organizations, club sports, honorary societies, religious organizations, and Greek fraternities and
sororities.

The NCAA is a voluntary association of about 1,200 colleges
and universities, athletic conferences and sports organizations
devoted to the sound administration of intercollegiate athletics.
The colleges, universities and athletic conferences that make
up the NCAA appoint volunteer representatives who serve on committees that
introduce and vote on rules called bylaws.
The members also establish programs to govern, promote and further the purposes and goals of intercollegiate athletics. The membership is divided into three
main divisions: Division I, II and III. Each NCAA division has a separate governing structure and membership representatives from each division that serve on
associationwide committees. Visit the NCAA at www.ncaa.org.

“To be a member of a Lander University intercollegiate team is both a privilege and a responsibility. We expect and demand that our student-athletes
excel in the classroom as well as on the courts and fields and that they
perform with pride, poise and proper conduct. Character, citizenship and a
spirit of volunteerism are also expected of those who compete on behalf of
Lander University. We believe that these self-discipline activities will assist
all student-athletes in obtaining a degree and will equally benefit them in
becoming contributing members of society.”
