Prospective Student-Athlete Information - Women's Tennis


Women's Tennis Questionnaire

We are excited about your interest in the University of North Texas and Mean Green women's tennis.

North Texas tennis reached new heights in the 2009-10 season, capturing the Sun Belt Conference Championships and appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time.  After a strong regular season which featured wins over No. 73 Texas Tech and Denver, Mean Green Tennis rolled through the conference tournament, taking down No. 49 Florida International in the final. When it was all said and done, the team matched its win total from ’08-09 at 17.

Head coach Sujay Lama was named the Sun Belt Women’s Coach of the Year while Catalina Cruz, the lone senior on the squad, earned the conference’s most outstanding player award for her efforts during the conference tournament. Cruz was also selected as player of the week once during her final campaign. Sophomore Paula Dinuta registered the best record on the team, winning 13 of her final 15 matches and finishing the year 17-6.  

Quick Hits On North Texas
A member of the Sun Belt Conference, North Texas has captured 14 conference championships since 2001. Individually, 69 Mean Green student-athletes were named All-Sun Belt Conference during the 2009-10 school year. This past season, the Mean Green won two conference championships and finished in the top three at conference championships in eight sports. Many of the teams posted their best seasons in program history.

In 2009-10, four Mean Green sports saw postseason play. The men's basketball team won the Sun Belt Conference tournament title and earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament. The women's tennis also won a conference championship, its first Sun Belt title in school history. Two Mean Green golfers, freshmen Rodolfo Cazaubon and Carlos Ortiz, were selected to play in the NCAA Men's Golf Regional in Bremerton, Wash., in May, making North Texas the only team in the nation with two true freshmen individual players participating in an NCAA Regional. Fifteen track& field athletes qualified for the NCAA Championship Preliminary Rounds in 12 different events in May, and four moved on in two events to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., in June.

In the Fall of 2005, the academic and compliance staff relocated to the Mean Green Village. Located on Bonnie Brae, the new Student-Athlete Development Center is three times the size of the former academic center.
