Alix Lacelarie will be serving a second term as a volunteer coach for the Clemson women's tennis team for the 2006-07 season after a successful playing career as a Tiger.
In her first year on the sidelines, Lacelaire helped the Clemson program to its fifth straight NCAA Team Tournament appearance and a #18 final national ranking. In 2006, the Tigers defeated five teams ranked in the top 25 en route to a 17-8 overall record, and they compiled an 8-3 record in, arguably, the nation's toughest conference.
Lacelarie was a member of the 2004 and 2005 NCAA Final Four teams, earning All-America honors in doubles with Julie Coin in her senior season.
The duo finished the season ranked #10 in the final ITA doubles poll and reached the round of 16 in the NCAA Doubles Championships. With Coin, Lacelarie had an 18-3 record for a .857 winning percentage that ranked sixth in Clemson history. She is also ranked fifth all-time with a .777 career doubles winning percentage, and her 80 career doubles victories are listed ninth in the Tiger annuals.
Lacelarie was named the Most Valuable Performer of the 2004 ACC Tournament after winning two singles matches and two doubles matches to help the Tigers claim the conference championship. She was a two-time All-ACC honoree and was a member of the Clemson and ACC Honor Rolls.
Lacelarie received a Bachelor of Arts in Language and International Trade in May of 2005 and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in human resource development.
