Amanda Augustus and Amy Jensen captured Cal’s first-ever NCAA title in women’s tennis. The pair won two NCAA doubles championships with the Bears, starting in 1998 when they became the first unseeded pair to win the title. A year later, they became just the second duo - and the first pair from the then-Pac-10 Conference - to repeat as NCAA doubles champion. They finished their career as a tandem with a 56-13 record. For the two Golden Bears' unprecedented success, the Pac-12 Conference named them the Pac-12 Doubles Team of the Century in 2016. Jensen went on to claim a third consecutive crown in 2000, setting an NCAA record that still stands. She partnered with Claire Curran following Augustus’ graduation. Prior to joining forces with Jensen, Augustus reached the NCAA quarterfinals with Francesca La’O in 1996 and the second round with Curran in 1997. Individually, Augustus was a four-time NCAA qualifier in singles, advancing to the quarterfinals as a junior and earning a combined six All-America certificates in singles and doubles. Jensen was a five-time All-American and played in the NCAA singles draw on two occasions. She served as an assistant coach and associate head coach, with the Bears under Jan Brogan from 2003-06. Augustus returned to Cal in July, 2007, as the head women’s tennis coach and directed the Bears to the NCAA team final in both ’08 and ’09.
