NOTES
* USC's Ryan Moore recently captured the 2001 Pac-10 Singles Championship. En route to his first collegiate singles tournament victory, he upset No.1-ranked Alex Kim (Stanford) and No. 21 K.J. Hippensteel (Stanford). It was USC's first singles tournament title since 1996.

* Junior Andrew Park began the season by capturing both the SoCal Intercollegiate Championship and the ITA Region VIII Championship, a title he also won last season. For his accomplishments he was named the November ITA Player of the Month.

* No. 11 Ryan Moore and Nick Rainey, who advanced to the 2000 NCAA Doubles Championship Final, were named the ITA's March Doubles Team of the Month after going 7-0 and registering three top-nine wins in March. They are currently riding a 14-match win streak.

* Head Coach Dick Leach earned his 500th career victory when the Trojans defeated San Diego 7-0 on Feb. 6, 2001.

* With an all-time record of 508-127 (.800), Coach Leach is the fourth winningest coach among all (includes all sports) active Division I coaches.

* This year's squad features no seniors.
