UMW Women's Tennis Head Coach Patrick Catullo

Head Coach Patrick Catullo In just three seasons as the head women’s tennis coach at the University of Mary Washington, Patrick Catullo has led the Eagles to the precipice of greatness, as the program has advanced greatly in each year of his tenure. The Eagles finished the 2006-07 season ranked 10th in the nation, their highest postseason ranking since finishing fourth in 1993, with a 22-3 season record.

A Mary Washington alumnus, Catullo has led the team to three Capital Athletic Conference championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances after coaching for five years at Broward (Fla.) Community College. While at Broward, Catullo produced 30 state champions, 12 national champions, and 23 All-Americans. A two-time NJCAA National Coach of the Year, his Seahawk teams posted a 76-22 overall record, including a 43-1 conference mark.

Prior to his work at Broward CC, where he also worked as sports information director and assistant athletic coordinator, he served as an assistant coach at Flagler College and as a tennis pro at the ATP Country Club in Ponte Vedra, Fla. He is a member of the United States Professional Tennis Registry.

“There is a distinguished honor about the women’s team at Mary Washington, and a great tradition of success. I look forward to challenges as well as the successes that lay ahead for the UMW tennis team,” said Catullo, who with his wife, Linda, and two sons, Ryan and Chase, reside in Fredericksburg.
