The new coach Peter Nestel, formerly head Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach at Lawrence University, brings a lot of experience coaching collegiate tennis and a unique and fun approach to fitness and tennis specific conditioning. This year promises to be successful in many ways. Coach Nestel does not measure success by wins and losses, but by how well the team plays relative to their abilities and experience. Winning is great, but it is only part of his mission to build a dominant tennis program at Purchase. As the new players learn more about tennis skills, strategies and tactics, become fitter and healthier, and have fun in the process then winning will be the result instead of the goal.

What is most impressive with the team is the attitude and sportsmanship they take on to the court. We remain one of the newer programs in all of NCAA tennis but approach each match with the confidence and sportsmanship of far more seasoned teams and programs. The Panthers are very lucky to have 12 outdoor courts, 6 with lights and have been selected as the host site of both the Men’s and Women’s NEAC Championships. This combined with 4 practice walls, video analysis equipment, state of the art training facilities make Purchase Tennis a great place to build a formidable program.
With incoming tennis prospects be actively recruited for the first time, the future of the program looks better and better.
