David Schilling is part of head coach Ty Tucker's recipe for success. Schilling was recruited by Tucker in the fall of 1999 and since that time has proven to be a valuable addition.
Schilling came to Ohio State after a highly-successful tenure at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he guided the Lords to an 87-36 record during six seasons, becoming the most successful coach in the program's then 97-year history. Schilling's Kenyon squads were ranked in the Top 25 for six consecutive years and finished among the Top 3 in the North Coast Athletic Conference five times, including a championship in 1995. The NCAC is widely regarded as one of the premier tennis conferences in Division III.
