Matt Lynch took over as head coach for the men’s and women’s tennis programs in February 2024.
In his first season with the W&J Women's Tennis program, Lynch guided the Presidents to a 7-8 overall record (4-4 PAC). Lynch managed to continue W&J's now seven-year streak of making the PAC Tournament. On the men's side, Lynch coached the Presidents to an 8-11 overall record (4-4 PAC) and a PAC Tournament berth for the second-straight season. During the season, W&J got off to its best start in conference play since the 2019 season with four-straight victories against conference foes. Both programs combined for seven All-PAC selections, four on the women's team and three on the men's team.
Lynch guided the men's team to a 4-4 conference record and a berth in the 2024 PAC Tournament in April. Four Presidents earned All-PAC honors following the season.
Lynch brings well-rounded coaching experiences at the college and instructional levels. Since the summer of 2015, Lynch has worked as a tennis instructor at Glen Creek Tennis Club in South Park. At Glen Creek, he was responsible for managing junior and adult clinics and conducting private lessons and one-on-one individualized instruction for all ages.
Lynch competed at both Grove City and West Liberty University during his time as a student-athlete. During his time as a freshman at Grove City, the Wolverines earned the 2015 PAC Men’s Tennis Championship. Lynch was the individual champion at fifth singles where he defeated Joshua St. Clair of W&J in the championship match. Lynch was a consistent starter in the middle of the lineup for West Liberty during the 2018 season.
