Staff Writer _
As the only senior on the Lady Gamecocks tennis team,
Celine Regnier is a good role model for her fellow teammates
on the court. Named to thaSEQ.Academic.Honor
Roll two years in a row, she is also a good role model off
the court.
Regnier began playing tennis after learning the sport
from her father. Growing up in France, she had the opportunity
to play in many tournaments and reached the
semifinals of the Cadets Master International Tournament
while playing junior tennis.
She has been successful in her three here at Carolina.
As a freshman, she played the No. 2 position for most of
the season, and had an 8-5 record against SEC opponents.
She ended the season with a solid 18-12 mark.

rankings. She also had a run of 10-5 in regional
matches that season.

nier has no definite plans. She doesn't want to turn pro;
instead, she wants to travel and maybe go to school. "I
just don't know yet," she said. Her focus now, though, is
on the success of the Lady Gamecocks.
Looking at this season, she cites Georgia, Kentucky,
Lousiana State and Vanderbilt as some of the toughest
matches for both her and the team. After finishing 12-12
last year, the Lady Gamecocks look to improve their record
and earn a good ranking.
"I think we have a good enough team to [rank in the
top 10] this year," Regnier said. "Because this is my last
year, the top 10 is my goal."
As for personal rankings, Regnier is aiming "for the
best possible one." As with her French male counterpart
on the men's team, Jerome Jourdan, Regnier is more fo
cused on the ranking ot the entire team than her individual
ranking.
Her ranking will improve, however, if she keeps up the
level of play she showed in the fall. Regnier made it to the
quarterfinals of the Rolex Region II Championships, losing
to an opponent who would make it to the national tournament.
Her most recent match was against Furman, one of the
Lady Gamecocks' Region II competitors. Opening the season
in the No. 1 spot on the team, Regnier won easily with
a score of 6-4,6-1 against the Paladins' Megan Dunigan.

won a quick pro-set (8-3) against Furman's top doubles
team.
If you try to tell Regnier thats she is a remarkable
example of the balance between excellent tennis and good
academics, however, she becomes shy and cites the team
and her coach, Arlo Elkins, for helping her succeed.
Elkins is counting on Regnier's experience to help the
team become one of the top squads in the nation. "We look
for her to be at the top of the lineup this year, like last
year," Elkins said. With Regnier leading the way, and the
support of a strong team, the Lady Gamecocks are looking
for a solid finish.
"This is my last semester, and I want to play the best
tennis possible," Regnier said. If history is any indication,
the Lady Gamecocks, and especially Regnier, will have a
great season.
The Lady Gamecocks, ranked No. 21 in the nation, take
to their home courts at 1 p.m. Sunday against Kentucky,
a strong SEC opponent.
