St. Joseph's University - Long Island Women's Tennis

Nathan joined SJC in the fall of 2003 to help build our women's tennis program.  Not only has the women's tennis program grown in players but has made playoffs almost every season and has been among the top teams in the Skyline Conference every year.  As the head coach for the SJC womens tennis team, Nathan has accrued an impressive 70- 47 record, including a 10-1 record in 2008, and a Skyline Conference Finals berth in 2011, which the Eagles lost to Mount St. Mary. Coach Nathan has also turned the men's tennis program into one of the top on Long Island. Prior to 2005, the mens team was operating as a club sport but Nathan revived the former varsity program.   Nathan is the first coach in SJC history to guide his teams to three consecutive NCAA tournament bids in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the second coach in SJC history to win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament when the men beat Salve Regina in 2010. His teams won the Skyline Conferences titles in 2009 and 2010. They were undefeated in the Skyline conference with an impressive 21-0 record from 2008, 2009 and 2010. Coach Nathan is a three-time Skyline Conference Coach of the Year. Until recently, both programs played their home matches all over Suffolk County.  Coach Nathan describes it as "The Traveling Road Show". Coach is now proud to have our new home in Patchogue with six Deco Turf Tennis Courts with lights that opened in 2012.
