Coach Brad Allen years (1985–89)

[edit]

Coaching record (4 Years/Seasons, 48 Wins–55 Losses)

In 1986, the Titans women's tennis program was almost discontinued by the Athletic Department. Athletic Director Ed Carroll's plan was to drop as many minor sports as possible (diving, golf, & men's tennis were dropped) to increase the funding for the football program. A.D. Ed Carroll tried to drop the women's tennis program in a closed secret meeting. However, the board of regents did not agree and the women's tennis program was not discontinued. Newly hired Titans Women's Tennis Coach, Brad Allen, found out about the attempted elimination of the program when he read it in the school newspaper. Coach Allen was hired in December 1985 four weeks prior to the start of the 1986 season and the team had no coach for the previous six months because the athletic department hoped the program would be discontinued.

The first year for Coach Allen was extremely difficult because the team budget was $5,000 and his competitors had a $50,000 budget. The first-year team budget paid for the team to buy enough tennis balls for practice, home matches, and uniforms, but no money was left for travel, equipment, or scholarships. The team lost almost all of their matches that first year. Allen had a (48–55) career record over four seasons with 20 of those losses coming in that first year. Coach Allen was able to save and promote the tennis program through record fundraising of about $11,000 a year and unknown to the players, he wrote scholarships from his own checkbook. Allen and the team sold fireworks, beer at UCLA football games, held tennis clinics and USTA sanctioned tournaments, and more to raise money. Now, with the increased budget through fundraising Allen was able to add more talented players. Since the 1987 season, Allen's Titans squad held the team record for most victories in a season with 15 wins and had the first winning season in the Titan's Division 1 history. During the years 1986–1989, the Titans had winning seasons three years in a row.

The Titans highlights were wins over Loyola Marymount, Nebraska, Cornell, Cal State Los Angeles, and conference wins over San Jose State, UNLV, UC Irvine, UOP, and Long Beach State. Another highlight came in 1989 against Harvard University when Kelli Moore and Caroline Sporer split sets against the #2 ranked doubles team in the nation. Harvard won the first set 6-4 and the Titans won the second set 7-6 and had the momentum. The Harvard team already had enough points to win the overall team match and the Harvard coach refused to play the third and final doubles set out of fear of her players losing the match and dropping their national #2 ranking. Coach Allen said, "In my opinion, Kelli Moore and Caroline Sporer were one of the best doubles teams in the country!"

Coach Allen was fired in 1989 by A.D. Ed Carroll after Allen filed a grievance against the athletic department based on his annual salary of $4,800 and a team budget of $5,000 a year. Coach Allen won the grievance after it was decided his firing was obvious retribution for filing the grievance. Coach Allen laughingly said, "Firing a coach that set school records for wins, fundraising, the number of student-athletes on the Honor Roll, and positive media coverage, including being on the front page of the Los Angeles Times Sports section would have been impossible to prove." Allen won his job back and could have returned as head coach at a significantly higher salary. However, Coach Allen declined the offer because he had already moved out of state, purchased a new home, and was preparing for his upcoming marriage. Coach Allen stated, "I'll never forget my time at Fullerton and especially I loved my time on the tennis courts with the team. I will forever be proud of the outstanding team members. They gave their all on the tennis courts and the entire team was always on the Honor Roll as well. I love them all and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to work with and to know such fine young ladies."

Prior to joining the Titans Women's Tennis Program and Coach Brad Allen's squad for the 1988 season player Nicole Brechtbuhl won the 1986 California Junior College State Doubles Individual title her freshmen year and in 1987 Brechtbuhl won the California Junior College State Singles Individual title in her second year.[16]

Yessis also commented on the existing Titan Tennis Courts saying "The courts are slow, which handicaps an attempt to play a fast attacking game". "New construction at the courts may remedy this situation" says Yessis the athletic department has plans to supplement the tennis facilities at that time with four new tennis courts hopefully by the 1968 season according to Yessis.[42] Titan tennis player's Steve White '68 an Antelope Valley Junior College transfer and Jose Nino '68 a "Two-Time Titan Team MVP" played in the 1967 NCAA Men's Division II Tennis Championships at Cal State University, Los Angeles and the NCAA Men's Tennis Team Championship was won by conference member Long Beach State University led by Fred Suessmann and Dennis Trout.[43] From 1967 to 1973 the NCAA Men's Division II National Tennis Team Championship Title's went to a CCAA Conference member each year from those seven seasons with outstanding coaches within the conference like Long Beach State Coach Dan Campbell, Cal State Northridge Coach Dave Sterle, UC Irvine Coach Myron McNamara and Cal State Los Angeles Coach Scotty Deeds and that is why in the 1969 season again Titans Tennis Coach Dr. Michael Yessis said "We are in the toughest league in the State" second only to the Pac 8 Division I Men's Tennis Conference, really in the nation during that time period.[44]

Coach Craig Neslage years (1971–1974)

[edit]

The 1973 Titans team led by Coach Craig Neslage had quite a fiery tennis player named Mexico Oscar Meyer a Cal Poly Pomona Bronco transfer who played at the No. 1 position on the team for two years who was a former member of the Mexico's Davis Cup Team.[47] Neslage who coached the Titans from 1971 to 1974 for three seasons and one of his issues he tangled with was the fan area loyalty to the tennis program during those years he said "Fullerton area has no loyalty the problem is obvious he diagnose and confirmed the disease that has spread throughout at Fullerton" during his time period. Neslage was an outstanding fundraiser for the Titans Men's Tennis Program by the time he moved on after the 1974 season in his career he left the Program with a budget better than when he started with the Program, the next coach was in a better situation financially for the Program in 1975. Neslage was an All-American collegiate tennis player at UC Irvine during his playing days. After serving for his country in the Vietnam War the honorable veteran Paul McWherter came to play for the 1973–74 Titans after competing successfully for Bellevue Junior College in the State of Washington where he was the 1972–73 Junior College Singles & Doubles Champion there in the State a good find for Coach Craig Neslage and while playing one year at CSUF he played number No. 2 and No. 3 Singles for the Titans while playing with ambidextrous strokes and serving righthanded. One of Neslage's players Mark Hamilton '75 a few years after graduating from Fullerton went on to be the men's tennis coach for the Texas Tech Red Raiders for seasons 1979 and 1980 and had a coaching record of 24 wins-29 losses during his two-year career there and also is recorded as being the 2nd men's coach in their history of there tennis program.[48]

[edit]

(Assistant Coach: Dave Barrows '81, 1980–81 Season)

Coach Ed Burt years (1982–1984)

[edit]

Then came in toward the early mid-eighties was Coach Ed Burt who brought in a lot of talented good recruits and the tennis program was on the rise again with the additions of English junior college player by way of Florida England Julian Lowin '85, Donny Young, South African player South Africa Craig McSmythe (1983 Ojai CIF H.S. Interscholastic Doubles Champion/The Wightman Cup/(Indio H.S.), William Schuster '85, Tim Macres, David Pratt and Everette Brunelle (1983 Ojai CIF H.S. Interscholastic Doubles Champion/The Wightman Cup/(Indio H.S.) the Titans added depth to their line up with these highly competitive players.[54] These Titans teams were competing with collegiate tennis powerhouse's on their schedule like highly nationally ranked USC Trojans and also highly nationally ranked Pepperdine Waves along with San Diego State Aztecs, Boston University Terriers, South Carolina Gamecocks, Princeton Tigers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, University of New Mexico Lobos, University of San Diego Toreros and PCAA Conference highly national ranked foes UC Irvine Anteaters and Long Beach State 49ers at the time, even Division III number one nationally ranked opponent University of Redlands Bulldogs was really good during that time period on the Titans schedule. During Burt's short tenure the Titans had many victories against very good competitive school's likely due to their recruits and their depth in the line up of the Titan team. One of the individual highlights from the 1984 season was England Julian Lowin '85 victory in a singles flight match in a dual match against UC Irvine Anteaters player Bruce Man Son Hing who was the 39th nationally ranked NCAA Division I Collegiate singles tennis player in 1984 according to the "ITCA Intercollegiate National Final Rankings" Lowin won 6–1, 6–7, 7–5 in a tremendous match but in the hard-fought dual match UC Irvine won 5–4 over the Titans by a point.[55]
