to have three places to call home. On campus, the Mocs use the
UTC Tennis Complex that houses seven newly remodeled courts
and the DeSales-Harrison Racquet Center with two indoor courts.

and unpredictable, Chattanooga moves its contests to the Hixson
Racquet Court which features six courts and a viewing vantage point
from the lobby. In the fall, the Mocs host the prestigious Steve Baras
Fall Classic at the Champions Club Tennis Complex as well as several
spring dual matches. The Club features 26 hard courts, a two-story,

is heavily involved in community events throughout
the year. UTC student-athletes, coaches
and staff logged over 1,800 hours volunteering in
the community over the last year at events such
as canned food drives, the Freshman Move-
In, Bloodanooga, Clean and Green and Read
Across America.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
(SAAC) plans many of the Athletic Department’s
community events. The Mocs have a presence
at Chattanooga’s Special Olympics events each
year. UTC student-athletes also host many
events that engage the local community, such as
the 2012 Southern Scuffle.

What’s a Moc
2013 Mocs tennis
what’s a moc?
the evolution of the mascot
The Answer
For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many
fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics.
The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997,
moving away from Native American imagery to a package of
logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs,” and the
Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection
to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and
incorporated the Tennessee
state bird.
The term “Moc” is short
for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds
are fiercely territorial
creatures which protect their
homes with courage, determination
and skill. Those attributes
reflect the intellect, spirit
and character of UTC studentathletes
and alumni. A Moc is
a champion on the playing
surface, in the classroom and,
most importantly, in life.
Scrappy
Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore,
Scrappy, the Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs. A
re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the image of the State Bird
of Tennessee, a Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as
a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes
seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be

Introduced in 20.0.8, the new-look
Scrappy has a sharper and more modern
feel, mirroring the growth and image
of UTC Athletics.
venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once
described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledgehammer
wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,”
Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.
Why Mocs?
Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger
core identity to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s
Team, the athletics department embarked on a comprehensive
identity program in 1996. A new direction for the athletics identity
was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native
American Indian imagery.
Several identities have been used in the past. With the old
nickname “Moccasins,” a snake was used in the 1920s and an
Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moccasin
shoe was even used in the
1980s.
In 1996, it was decided to
adopt the State Bird of Tennessee,
the Mockingbird, as the
core of the new identity, while
incorporating the strong regional
imagery of Chattanooga’s vast
railroad history. The mascot
“Scrappy” was born and a new
emphasis was placed on the
athletics department’s role in the
region.
The committee also recognized
the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a great emphasis
in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to
simply “Mocs.” Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its
athletics programs and initiatives around this new identity.
And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in
February 1997, combined with tremendous success in the NCAA
Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had positioned itself to reach
for the next level.
From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy,
riding a train. The secondary logo features the front of a train
with the word Mocs built into the logo. This logo is affectionately
called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of
the train that helped push objects from the train tracks.
In August 2007, officials at Chattanooga updated the school’s
marks. A new C logo, the “Power C” as it has become known to
fans and alums, was created as the primary mark and is emblazoned
on the side of the football team’s helmets. The secondary
marks were updated with a more modern look, and a new font,
unique to the school, is now used on the text areas of the logos
and marks.
In September 2008, Scrappy
was re-branded to better
match the image of a mockingbird
and reflect the rich tradition
of our state, our city and
our University. New marks of
the head as well as a full body
were released. The program has
also been taking special efforts
to stay true to its color palette—
which includes navy blue and
old gold.
The “Power C” logo is the primary mark
of Chattanooga Mocs Athletics.
The Cowcatcher logo has been recently
modified, but is still in use by UTC
Athletics.

2013 Mocs tennis
outlook
season outlook
overview of the mocs in 2013
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
men’s and women’s tennis teams
are geared up for an exciting season of
collegiate tennis. The Mocs and Lady
Mocs are looking to continue the momentum
of big improvements on the court from
the 2012 campaign. Both squads return
the core of their lineups and both have
talented experience to lead their teams in
2013.
The men return their top eight players
from a 14-9 campaign in 2012, their best
record since 2007. UTC has improved its
win total in each of the last three seasons
and looks to build on that momentum with
a roster that includes seven seniors.
Senior Roberto Vieira (Bedfordview,
South Africa) is a three-time All-Southern
Conference performer and holds down
the top spot. Vieira was 10-8 at No. 1 in
duals last season and is 41-34 in singles
in his career. He also posted a 13-9 record
in doubles play.
The rest of the lineup is still to be determined
after the addition of three newcomers
at the semester break. Sophomore
Gino Delavalle (Rosario, Argentina) and
freshmen John Peavey (Emerald, Australia)
and Luke Saunders (Halifax, Nova
Scotia) are all expected to make in impact
on the lineup in the spring.
Senior Manuel Barroetavena (Buenos Aires,
Argentina) led the Mocs with a 21-8
singles record last season. He was 8-2 at
No. 4 before moving
up the lineup.
He posted a 9-2
record at No. 2 and
No. 3 during the
last half of the season.
That included
a 9-0 run in March
that earned him
SoCon Player of
the Month honors.
He finished the fall
season with a 7-5
mark, leading the
team in wins.
Other returning seniors
include Ankit
Chopra (Chandigrah,
India), Stephen Crofford (Franklin,
Tenn.), William Disterdick (Hixson, Tenn.),
Chris Smith (Johnson City, Tenn.) and
Jackson Tresnan (Apopka, Fla.). Sophomore
Pavels Grigorjevs (Riga, Latvia)
rounds out the returning players.
Tresnan was 14-8 in 2012, playing mostly
the No. 5 spot. He tied Vieira for the team
lead in doubles wins with a 13-7 record.
He was 5-0 in doubles and 3-1 in singles
in February, earning SoCon Player of the
Month recognition. Grigorjevs also had a
winning singles record, going 13-10 at No.
5 and No. 6 combined.
The women are coming off a 16-6 record in
2012, the most wins for the program since
1999. Head coach Jeff Clark is in the sixth
year of his second
stint as head coach
of the Lady Mocs.
He is five wins shy
(95-84) of 100 dual
victories in nine total
years as head
coach at UTC.
UTC returns four
letter winners,
while adding five
newcomers to the
2013 roster. Senior
Jenna Nurik
(Roswell, Ga.) is
a three-time All-
Southern Conference selection and had a
15-7 dual record at No. 1.
Sophomore Kaylene Chadwell (Franklin,
Tenn.) is also back after earning SoCon
Freshman of the Year honors with a 16-5
dual record. She was 7-1 at No. 2 and 8-2
in SoCon matches.
Junior Alexa Flynn (Memphis, Tenn.) is a
two-year starter who was 11-7 in 2012.
Sophomore Claire Mulyadi (Semarang,
Indonesia) joined the team in January and
went 9-8 in singles in the spring.
The Lady Mocs newcomers are listed
as the No. 9 mid-major recruiting class
in the country by TennisRecruiting.net.
This group includes four-star signees
Kelsey Coots (Huntsville, Ala.), Katie Polk
(Woodstock, Ga.) and Kayla Jones (Memphis,
Tenn.), as well as three-star prospect
Alison Storie (Johnson City, Tenn.), and
Oklahoma State transfer Jovana Pecovski
(Apatin, Serbia).
Jones led the Lady Mocs with an 11-2 singles
record in the fall. She was also 7-3 in
doubles action. Coots went 8-3 in singles
play with a 7-2 record in doubles. Polk
was solid in doubles at 7-1 and also had a
7-2 singles mark.

One of the most respected and successful
coaches in the Southeast region, Carlos
Garcia is in his 12th year at the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga. During his career,
Garcia has coached both the men’s and
women’s teams at UTC, guided a conference
Player of the Year winner, earned regional
coaching honors from the ITA, worked with the
U.S. Davis Cup Squad and had his team earn
ITA Academic Team honors.
Garcia has produced six winning seasons
during his tenure at UTC, including last
season’s 14-9 mark. He has coached nine
individuals and four doubles teams to All-
Southern Conference recognition and has the
talent on the squad this year to add to that list.
He kept Mocs moving in the right direction with
the 2011-12 campaign. Chattanooga increased
its win total for the fourth year in a row, posting
the most wins for the program since 2007.
Garcia spent his first two seasons at UTC
coaching both the men’s and women’s teams.
He has focused his efforts solely on the men’s
program for the past eight-plus seasons and
has had impressive results on and off the court.
He led the Mocs to the championship match
of the Southern Conference Tournament for
two consecutive years, in 2005 and 2006. The
Mocs had four-consecutive winning seasons
from 2005-08, finishing fourth in the very
competitive SoCon each year.
In 2006 and 2007, Garcia directed the men’s
team to 17 impressive wins and identical 5-4
records in the SoCon. During that time, UTC
produced two second team All-SoCon doubles
tandems in Josh Bales-Mark Fynn and Badr
Bouabdellah-Artyom Vlasenko. In singles play,
Bouabdellah had an outstanding dual-match
season, registering a 24-2 record and a perfect
9-0 mark in SoCon matches.
In 2005, the Mocs earned an 18-11 overall
record. Garcia also coached two second
team All-SoCon performers in No. 1 singles
player Arturo Navarro and No. 4 singles player
Vlasenko.
Under Garcia’s guidance, Jason Ontog and
Cynthia Oulevay were both named First-Team
All-SoCon in 2002. Oulevay went undefeated in
league competition, while Ontog lost just once
in 10 matches. Ontog and doubles partner Tim
Kutschera were listed First-Team All-SoCon.
Ontog, the 2001 SoCon Men’s Player of the
Year and No. 1 singles champion, received
the Buddy Hartsell-Don Bunch Sportsmanship
Award two times and achieved an Intercollegiate
Tennis Association ranking as high as No. 67.
In the classroom, the 2001-02 men’s team
earned ITA Team Academic honors, while
James Dickerson and John Hangstefer were
named ITA Scholar-Athletes. Gordon Ruddell
and Sam Parfitt both earned ITA Scholar-
Athlete recognition in 2010 while Parfitt and
Stephen Crofford grabbed the honors in 2012.
Garcia’s collegiate coaching career began in
1994 when he served as a men’s assistant at
his alma mater, the University of Tennessee,
until 1999. In 1999, Garcia moved on to the
University of North Carolina to become the
men’s assistant coach. The Tar Heels finished
the season ranked 20th in the nation, and
Garcia was named Regional Assistant Coach
of the Year by the ITA in 1999 and 2000.
Garcia took his coaching talents to a new level
when he left North Carolina in 2000 to become
the personal coach to Davis Cup standout and
former NCAA singles champion Chris Woodruff
for two seasons. He also coached Woodruff,
a former Tennessee player, to his second
ATP singles title at the ATP Hall of Fame
Championships in Newport, R.I. Woodruff
also had a quarterfinal showing at the 2000
Australian Open under Garcia’s guidance.
Prior to accepting the job at UTC, Garcia
was the teaching professional at Cedar Bluff
Racquet Club in Knoxville, Tenn. Garcia is
a 1987 honors graduate of Tennessee with
a bachelor’s degree in General Business.
While a member of the Volunteers’ tennis
team, he earned three tennis letters and was a
member of the 1986 Southeastern Conference
Championship squad.
A competitive player himself, Garcia
and teammate Mark Harrison, won the
USTA National 35s Grass Court Doubles
Championship in 2002 and USTA Indoor 35s
National Doubles Championship in 2005 with
partner Jeff Wright. Garcia and Harrison were
runners up at the 2005 National Clay Court
Doubles Championships. Garcia finished fifth
in August of 2006 in the USTA National 40s
Grass Court Championships, while he and
doubles partner Eric Burke took fourth place in
the doubles event. Born Aug. 3, 1964, Garcia
served for three years on the NCAA Southeast
Regional Selection Committee.

Jeff Clark is in the sixth year of his second
stint as head coach of the Lady Mocs
tennis program. He coach UTC’s men’s
and women’s programs for three year from
1999-01, and returned to UTC to take over
the women’s team in 2008.
Clark has shown a tremendous amount of
continuous improvement in his five years
back in the Scenic City. Last season, the
Lady Mocs were an impressive 16-6 overall,
the most wins for the program since 1999.
UTC was also listed No. 6 in the Ohio Valley
Region in the Final ITA rankings.
During Clark’s first tenure at UTC, his
men’s team captured the 2000 Southern
Conference tournament title, earning the
university’s only NCAA Division I tennis
tournament bid. That same year he guided
his women’s squad to the SoCon Tournament
finals. In the spring of 1999, his first season
as head coach, the men’s squad reached
the conference tournament final. Clark has
over 100 combined wins as head coach of
the men’s and women’s teams at UTC.
Among his other accomplishments at UTC,
he has coached four singles players and
four doubles teams to All-SoCon honors.
One of those players, Jason Ontog, was
a two-time All-SoCon selection and the
2001 conference Player of the Year. Clark’s
women’s team maintained the highest grade
point average among all UTC athletics teams
from 1999 to 2001, and the 2001 and 2012
squads were honored as ITA All-Academic
Teams.
Prior to his head coaching stint at UTC,
Clark was a Mocs assistant under former
head coach Jim Thompson. Clark joined
Thompson’s staff in 1997 and their coaching
partnership proved to be an immediate
success, leading the UTC men to the
Southern Conference tournament title and
the women to the tournament finals.
Clark has enjoyed success throughout his
collegiate coaching career. From 2002 to
2006 Clark served as the men’s assistant
coach at the University of Mississippi,
one of the top programs in all of college
tennis. Working with legendary coach Billy
Chadwick, he helped coach the Rebels
to four consecutive top-ten national team
rankings, back-to-back SEC team titles, four
SEC West titles, one Final Four appearance,
and numerous All-American singles and
doubles honors. One of his Ole Miss players,
Catalin Gard, achieved the number one
singles ranking in college tennis during the
2004-05 season. In 2006 Clark was named
ITA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of
the Year and thus nominated for ITA National
Assistant Coach of the Year.
In addition to his college coaching, Clark has
mentored and developed many junior tennis
players. He has worked with the tennis
programs at The McCallie School from
1995-1997 and, more recently, from 2006-
2007, coaching alongside Eric Voges, one of
the top junior coaches in the Southeast. In
2001, Clark created a unique tennis program
at the Bethlehem Community Center, a
school and sports facility for inner-city youth
in Chattanooga.
Clark is a 1995 graduate of Vanderbilt
University, where he earned a Bachelor of
Arts degree in English. While a member
of the Commodore tennis team, Clark led
Vanderbilt to its first-ever NCAA Regional
as the team captain his senior year. He
played number four singles and number
one doubles that season. After college Clark
competed professionally, participating in ITF
satellites and money tournaments in Europe
and competing for his club team in Germany,
TC Philippsburg, where he played in 1997
and 1998.
During his first stint coaching at UTC from
1997 to 2001, he earned his master’s degree
in English Literature from the university.
Clark, 40, is married to the former Laura
Brown of Signal Mountain, Tenn. The couple
has three children: Peter, Caroline and
Henry. They reside in Chattanooga.

The Southern Conference,
which began its 93rd season of
intercollegiate competition in 2013,
is a national leader in emphasizing
the development of the studentathlete
and in helping to build lifelong
leaders and role models.
The Southern Conference has
been on the forefront of innovation
and originality in developing creative
solutions to address issues facing
intercollegiate athletics. From
establishing the first conference
basketball tournament (1921),
tackling the issue of freshmen
eligibility (1922), developing women’s
championships (1984) and becoming
the first conference to install the
three-point goal in basketball (1980),
the Southern Conference has been a
pioneer.
The Southern Conference is the
nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division
I collegiate athletic association.
Only the Big Ten (1896),
the Missouri Valley (1907),
the Pacific 10 (1915) and
the Southwestern Athletic
(1920) conferences are
older in terms of origination.
Academic excellence
has been a major part of
the Southern Conference’s
tradition. Hundreds of
Southern Conference
student-athletes have
been recognized on ESPN
The Magazine/CoSIDA
Academic All-America and
all-district teams. A total
of 19 Rhodes Scholarship
winners have been
selected from conference
institutions.
The Conference currently
consists of 12 members in five
states throughout the Southeast
and sponsors 19 varsity sports
and championships that produce
participants for NCAA Division I
Championships.
The Southern Conference offices
are located in the historic Beaumont
Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill
that was in operation from 1880 until
1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated
in 2004 and today offers the league
first class meeting areas and offices
as well as a spacious library for
storage of the conference’s historical
documents.
Membership History
On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives
from 14 of the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s
(SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s
Piedmont Hotel to establish the
Southern Intercollegiate Conference.
On hand at the inaugural meeting
were officials from Alabama, Alabama
Polytechnic Institute (Auburn),
Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School
of Technology (Georgia Tech),
Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M
(Mississippi State), North Carolina,
North Carolina State, Tennessee,
Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute
(Virginia Tech) and Washington &
Lee.
Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was
chosen as acting chairman and N.W.
Dougherty of Tennessee was named
secretary. The decision to form a new
athletic conference was motivated by
the desire to have a workable number
of conference games for each league
member. With 30 schools in the SIAA
by the early 1920s, it was impossible
to play every school at least once
during the regular season and many
schools went several years between
playing some conference members.
In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted
down proposed rules that an athlete
must be in a college a year before
playing on its teams and refused to
abolish a rule permitting athletes to
play summer baseball for money.
Play began in the fall of 1921 and
a year later, six more schools joined
the fledgling league including Tulane
(which had attended the inaugural
meeting but had elected not to join),
Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi,
South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI
joined in 1925 and Duke was added
in 1929.
By the 1930s, membership in the
Southern Conference had reached 23
schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia
Tech, president of the Southern
Conference, called the annual league
meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at
Southern conference
the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn.
Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced
that 13 institutions west and south
of the Appalachian Mountains were
reorganizing as the Southeastern
Conference. Members of the new
league included Alabama, Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, Florida,
Georgia, Georgia School of
Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Mississippi A&M,
University of the South, Tennessee,
Tulane and Vanderbilt.
According to the minutes of
the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated
that the division was made along
geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J.
Tigert, acting as spokesman for the
withdrawing group, regretted the
move but believed it was necessary
as the Southern Conference had
grown too large. The resignations
were accepted and the withdrawing
schools formed the new league
which began play in 1932.
The Southern Conference
continued with membership
of 10 institutions including
Clemson, Duke, Maryland,
North Carolina, North
Carolina State, South
Carolina, Virginia,
VMI, Virginia Tech and
Washington & Lee.
The second major shift
occurred some 20 years
later. By 1952, the Southern
Conference included 17
colleges and universities.
Another split occurred
when seven schools
including Clemson, Duke,
Maryland, North Carolina,
North Carolina State,
South Carolina and Wake Forest
departed to form the Atlantic Coast
Conference which began play in
1953. The revamped Southern
Conference included members The
Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George
Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia
Tech, Washington & Lee, West
Virginia and William & Mary.
Today, the league continues
to thrive with a membership that
includes 12 institutions and a footprint
that spans five states: Tennessee,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama and Georgia. Current
league members are Appalachian
State, College of Charleston, The
Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman,
Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro,
Samford, Chattanooga, Western
Carolina and Wofford.
