H> WHY took
Xssistant sports editor
Mary Lvnne Smisson is a remarkable tennis player
Currently ranked as the 'op female tennis player in Georgia
and the fifth best in the South. Smisson has led the Georgia
Bulldog women s tennis team to a 2-2 dual record with the
Im‘>i individual win-loss mark on the squad
The jut us ii.t hat out together an impressive
i 4 record in the no 1 singles position thus far in the season,
and finished second in the SIC tournament at Clemson last
weekend.
Sin -son is i transfer from Hollins College, and the adjustment
from Hollins enrollment: 1300) to I GA has meant special trials
for Smssson
\f Hollins. Mary Lynne was seeded no. 5 and suddenly she
was thrust into the no l spot here." said women's tennis coach
Greg McGarity That's assuming a lot of leadership, hut she's
come in and done a remarkable job for us."
Doing a remarkable job on the tennis courts is Smisson's
-penality Puking up her first racket at age nine. Mary Lynne
went on to Columbus' Brookstone High School where she picked
up a number of trophies, including four straight Class B State
championships
A- ihe Most Outstanding Woman Athlete in Georgia in 1977.
S' • ... .,» on to Hollins where she fought for a fifth nlaoe
seeding on the powerful Hollins team for two years An
• overnight decision" last summer brought Smisson to Georgia
whe she soon established herself as the top-seed on the young
Bulldog squad
Mary Lynne got to the top of McGarity’s team by hard work
and extra practice. "I’m high on her. hut that’s because she's
proved to me that she wants to better herself." he stated ‘She
wants to be the best tennis player she can possibly be. She
doesn't know what the word quit means and she doesn't like to
lose She's just a hard worker
The hard work and her own style of play have placed Smisson»
at the top of Georgia's netters I don't really style my play after
anyone in particular 1 like to stay hack on the baseline a lot."
Smisson said, "I play a conservative game When 1 get a good
chance I will come up to the net I'm not afraid of it. hut 1 don’t
like it as much."
Smisson started her career at Georgia in grand style last fall
with a thrilling 7-6. 4-6. 7-6 i5-4> sudden-death victory over South
Carolina's Susan Smith ‘That was my very first match here at
Georgia, and I wanted to win so bad since 1 was the no. 1 seed
and had just come up here." Smisson recalled. I wanted to win
it for Greg real bad It was the best win and the most exciting
win I've had since I've been at Georgia "
Keeping her fop seeding at I GA hasn't been all that easy for
Smisson Janet McClelland, the Bulldogs no. 2 seed and only
returning player for last year's squad, has applied pressure to
Smisson nil year lonR and beaten Ihe I)ogs lop performer in one
challenge match earlier this season
The seeding placements on most tennis teams are determined
b\ intrasquad play, where one player issues a formal challenge
to a higher seeded team member al various points of the season
McClelland and Smisson are 1-1 in challenge matches this year,
ibul Smisson has retained her lop placement due to a better
individual match record and greater depth of tournament.;
experience
The struggle and pressure of challenge matches was a major
factor in Mary Lynne's reason to leave Rollins. "Since I was no.
5 ;it Rollins I had too much pressure on me." Smisson stated "I
had to win every challenge match or I'd have been off the team
Playing no. 1 up here I still feel some pressure, but I'm much
more relaxed Being seeded no 1. people expect me to win and I
want to win all of my challenge matches "
Mary Lynne Smisson has some short and long-range goals. I d
tike to'win all of my matches left and especially beat Susan Hill
this vear. " she said Hill is a long time rival of Smisson. and has
accounted for two of Georgia's lop seed's four losses this year.
After graduation, Mary Lynne hopes to lake a shot at a dream.
"I'm majoring in education, hut I think I'd rather go into tennis.
I'm much more involved in it and I enjoy it more." Smisson said,
"I hope to turn pro for a year and see how I do. I just want to
experience it and maybe get a job at a nice club after that."
