Kevin McGlynn is in his second stint as the Seton Hall head tennis coach, having been named to the position in February 2018 after previously serving as the Pirates' leader from 1991-96.
McGlynn currently oversees a bright group of student-athletes who consistently perform in the classroom. The tennis program has received the ITA's All-Academic Team Award for having at least a 3.2 grade point average in each of the last nine years, and the program has had 26 ITA All-Scholar student-athlete selections for having a 3.5 GPA or higher since McGlynn returned.
During his first run as head coach, McGlynn compiled a 70-34 dual match record, which included the program's only undefeated season in 1992-93, when Seton Hall went 17-0. McGlynn was also at the helm when the Pirates earned their only NCAA Tournament bid in 1996 and presided over the program's best BIG EAST Championship finish, runner-up in 1994.Â
McGlynn was able to recruit very talented student-athletes, including Pirates 2016 Hall of Fame inductee Kristen Downing, who is the program's all-time leader in singles wins (86) and total wins (155).
Â
For 36 years, McGlynn served as the director of tennis and then as the general manager of the Bradford Bath and Tennis Club in Cedar Grove, N.J.
Â
McGlynn enjoyed a successful collegiate playing career at Upsala College in nearby East Orange, N.J. He compiled a 103-27 record (65-16 in singles and 48-11 in doubles) and earned a No. 5 ranking in the NCAA Mid-States Region.
