Inside The Lair: Getting to Know Cecilia Estlander & Zsofi Susanyi
BERKELEY - As the fourth-ranked California women's tennis team prepares to face Sacramento State on Friday, the Golden Bears also have Saturday's big events in mind: Senior Day when the Bears honor the careers of their two veterans - Zsofi Susanyi and Cecilia Estlander - prior to battling Stanford in the Big Slam at the Hellman Tennis Complex. The match represents the last regular-season home match of their careers, though the postseason could bring the Bears back to Hellman in May.
CalBears.com caught up with the seniors before they took on the Hornets.CalBears.com: What are three things you'll miss most about Cal?
Cecilia Estlander: "Definitely the people. The relationships that I've built here are for sure the most valuable things that I've created. I'll carry that with me always. For sure tennis, especially this year, when I've been playing with my heart and for the team, knowing I won't be playing in the same way in the future. I still will always play tennis, but I won't go professional. It's like the end of an era. And the school and Berkeley. It's like the top of the world to be in Berkeley and near San Francisco. Can't wish for a better school."
Zsofi Susanyi: "Definitely playing and team matches. Being around the girls for so much, and figuring out what I have to do. Just figuring out how to solve all the challenges we deal with, because I think that taught me a lot."
CB.com: What are your plans for after graduation?
CE: "I've applied to Copenhagen Business School to do my masters. It's a two-year program. You choose four priorities of what concentration you want, so hopefully I'll get into the competitive one, which is leadership, organization and strategy. I want to work in organizational behavior, maybe human resources. I'll be continuing to study and maybe find a part-time job. But during the summer, I'm still going to play the Finnish Championships. I will play the 10,000s (tournaments), but I won't be traveling. I'm going to play for my club, Smash Tennis."
ZS: "As of now I don't want to play professional tennis. I was thinking of taking about a year just to work, see what's out there and then decide if I want to go to grad school or what to do. I'm really interested in the media field, and I also like the hospitality and management area and event planning."

Inside The Lair: Extra Credits - Seniors Find Niche In Sand
By Jonathan Okanes, Cal Athletic Communications
BERKELEY - Cal Associate Head Coach Meagan Schmitt is all for her student-athletes putting in extra work to get better - except when it comes to the two players who want to work more than anyone else.
Seniors Inanna Eshoo and Allison Leong are what Schmitt fondly calls "Volleydorks." They simply can't get enough sand volleyball in their lives, and Schmitt has to ban them from playing extra on certain days.

"My parents were very supportive and positive," she said. "My mom [Pam] was always the super positive, supporting parent and my dad was the thinker who wanted me to see how I could make myself better and help the team. But at the same time, he would listen to me when I said had enough. When my dad wanted to talk about soccer-specific stuff and I didn't want to hear it -- I would tell him and he'd listen.
