Will Marino
In 13 years, Marino has produced some of the finest tennis players Chapman has had since moving to Division III. Seven times have Marino's singles players (men and women) become All-Americans and six times he has led the Panthers' women's team to the NCAA playoffs with regional berths in 2001 and 2007-11.
In 2010, the Chapman women went deeper into the postseason than ever before, reaching the West Region championship match for the first time in school history.
The past five seasons, his women's team has been consistently ranked among the Division III top-25, climbing as high as No. 12 in 2010. And in 2005, he reached new heights with the men's team, earning a national ranking of No. 22 and ranking No. 7 in the West Region, the first time the men's program has been nationally ranked since the 1980's.
Will came to Chapman in 1999 from the U.C. Irvine women's program, where he was an assistant coach for three years. He became most familiar with Chapman as an opponent of the Panthers from 1989-90 while playing singles and doubles for Cal State Bakersfield. While at CSUB, Will was a two-time All-American in doubles, ranking as high as 25th in the nation in 1990.
