East Carolina University Men's Tennis

Heinchon has led the Pirates to 22 dual-match victories. In 2015-16, the Pirates made quarterfinal appearance in the conference tournament after a 4-1 victory over ninth-seeded Connecticut. Five players recorded at least 15 singles wins for the year, while sophomore Kasey Countee and junior Fredric Lehfeldt led the team with 19 apiece. Freshman Ronny Georgi compiled an impressive 17-8 individual mark that included a streak of 10-straight victories and 12 of 13 from the conclusion of the fall season crossing over into dual matches during the spring. The 2013-14 season was memorable for how both team and individual player success is measured, as Heinchon guided the Pirates to an 18-7 overall record, a nine-match winning streak in the middle of the season and a semifinal appearance at the Conference USA Championships. Joran Vliegen was named the 2014 C-USA Player-of-the-Year and was ranked as high as No. 25 nationally, before becoming the first player in school history to be selected to the NCAA Singles Championship where he reached the second round. A school-record 19-win season and a first-ever appearance in the national rankings three years ago now serves as an emphatic testament to Shawn Heinchon's leadership abilities. During his initial season at East Carolina, Heinchon made an impact piloting the men's squad as a top aide and was subsequently rewarded with his first career collegiate head coaching opportunity. In addition to leading the Pirates to four wins in their last seven matches and a double-digit win total, he also mentored senior Paulo Baumer to All-Conference USA honors - which marked only the second men's tennis player ever at East Carolina to earn league post-season accolades. In the spring of 2006, Heinchon continued his diligent work changing the culture of Pirate Tennis with a young unit that posted one of its best win totals in the five previous years. He followed with a 10-win campaign a year later, the second-highest number of triumphs since 2002, despite lining up with five true freshmen. The 2008 campaign featured an early optimistic glimpse at the future of the ECU men's tennis program as the Pirates notched their first winning dual match record since 2004 with a 13-12 ledger. Heinchon led a strong charge out of the gate which enabled East Carolina to rack up victories in 12 of its first 18 matches. Yet, those accomplishments were pale in comparison to what was in store for 2009. Despite featuring only one senior on their roster, the Pirates raced out to a 16-1 record and earned a pair of appearances in the national rankings as it cracked the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division I Poll for the first time in program history. When the sun finally set on the '09 campaign, Heinchon's team established a school record for single-season victories with a 19-5 mark, surpassing the previous standard of 16 that was set in 1957 and 2000. From 1998 to 2004, during his stay at Wake Forest, Heinchon was an integral part of arguably the finest seasons in the Demon Deacons' history. He helped the transformation of a WFU program which now consistently resides in the Top 25 rankings after a stretch of four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances (2001-2004).The Demon Deacons captured 79 dual match wins during his six-year stay in Winston-Salem, including three over Top 10 opponents. Additionally, he worked directly with 10 All-Atlantic Coast Conference players, two ACC Rookie-of-the-Year selections and six NCAA participants. In addition to his daily coaching responsibilities at Wake Forest, which included recruiting, budget management, travel coordination, marketing and operations, Heinchon also served as tournament director for two prestigious events - the ACC Indoor Championships (1999-2004) and the USTA National 16 Zonal Championships (2000-2004). For his efforts, he was named Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Regional Assistant Coach-of-the-Year and was a finalist for the National ITA Assistant Coach-of-the-Year in 2002. Prior to accepting the position at Wake Forest, Heinchon traveled extensively as a coach on the women's professional tour. He also coached several top-ranked American women's players who went on to compete at the NCAA Division I level, two of which played on Georgia's 2000 National Championship squad. Heinchon spent four years as Head Professional Instructor at Bardmoor Country Club (1996-98) and Bardmoor Stearns Academy (1994-1996), both located in Largo, Fla., where he oversaw private individual and group instruction for adults and junior players. He also planned and conducted camps for highly-ranked players as well as coached players in local and national tournaments. As a player, Heinchon was a former top five junior player in the state of Florida, competing in numerous national and international tournaments. He also earned all-state and all-district honors in singles and doubles at Thom Howard (Fla.) High School as a senior in 1989. A 1993 graduate of Southwestern Louisiana, Heinchon was a four-year starter in singles and doubles and helped his team to the 1992 Sunbelt Conference championship. After graduation, Heinchon competed on the ATP satellite circuit from 1993-96, primarily traveling and competing in Europe. Heinchon married the former Meghan Molnar of Binghamton, N.Y., during the spring of 2008.

Kuehne earned All-Big West honorable mentions accolades in doubles as a freshman at the University of the Pacific as a freshman in 2008-09. The Tigers won the Big West regular season title and finished the year ranked No. 67. At the conclusion of the season, he transferred to the University of South Alabama, where he was a three-year letterman and an all-conference academic team selection. He served as the Jaguars' team captain for two years and helped the squad earn a national ranking of 42. Kuehne graduated from South Alabama in 2012 with a degree in leisure studies and earned a master's of science from Florida State in 2013.
