We are very fortunate to have Coach Magers in our program and I look forward to the continued growth and success of Athena tennis.” Magers has been the head women’s tennis coach for San Diego City College since 2008. In addition to her coaching experience, Magers served as the head tennis professional at Peninsula Tennis Club from 1996-<strong>2012</strong>. She has also served as tennis professional at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. “I can’t wait to get to Claremont and help the CMS Athenas tennis team reach new heights,” said Magers. “It is a dream come true for me to be at a school like the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps College. The academic reputations, the exceptional student bodies and world class facilities make for an ideal environment for our student-athletes to thrive. I am so grateful for the op- 8 Member News portunity to work with the returning players, incoming players and our capable tennis staff of Kathy Settles and Hank Krieger. The sky is the limit with this team.” Magers played 10 years on the WTA tour and was a top 20 singles and doubles player. She was a quarterfi nalist at the U.S. Open, French Open and Wimbledon.
