Golf Coach Jack Hopkins makes no bones about it, he's looking for a few good men. If not a few, he is willing to take just one.

"I'm looking for some magical freshmen to come to our organizational meeting on Monday [at Dillon Field House] and turn this program around," Hopkins said. "We're not only looking for people to play in the fall, but also for the golfers who will join us on the spring trip next March."

The first-year coach, who is a member of the Concord Country Club, will try and reverse last year's 0-4(0-2 Ivy) finish with the help of Captain Terry Murray.

The golf team will be traveling to compete in a tournament in Florida next spring.

Women's Tennis

Put together a team of superstars and you've got yourself a championship, right?

That theory may be kicking around inside the mind of women's tennis Coach Ed Krass after several members of his squad brought home tournament championships last summer.

In advancing to the finals of the National Amateur Championships in New York last month, junior Christina Dragomirescu upset Yale's number one singles player. Dragomirescu also teamed with Crimson Co-Captain Kristin Bland to capture the doubles championship.

Jackie Farrell defeated Diane Gardner, Princeton's number one singles player, in the finals of the New England Women's Open in June. Sophomore Amy deLone then defeated Gardner in the finals of a national amateur tournament in July.

"It's a pleasant situation because the team is so deep this year and several players have been exposed to championship settings over the summer," Krass said. "We'll never have a shortage of players."

The Crimson, which captured the ITCA Eastern Championship last fall, lost just one senior, Cyndy Austrian, to graduation. Tonya Stasik, a transfer from Princeton, will combine forces with Co-Captain Kathy Mulvehal on the doubles team.

"Stasik gives us a lot of experience, enthusiasm and grit," Krass said.

Two freshmen are also expected to add to the Crimson's arsenal. Kim Cooper, who was ranked third in the East and 40th nationally in the 16-and-under category last year, will get off to a late start this year due to a severe tendonitis problem in her right elbow.

The other frosh recruit, Jen Minkus, also owns an impressive resume. She defeated the nation's 29th-ranked 16-and-under player in the Easter Bowl last spring in Florida.

The addition of Stasik, Cooper and Minkus adds tremendous depth to a squad already steeped with experience. Bland returns along with Mulvehal, Dragomirescu, Farrel and sophomore Jamie Henikoff. All will play singles for the Crimson.
