St. Bonaventure

Dr. Pat Panzarella had one of the longest tenures of any St. Bonaventure coach in any sport.
 
He coached the men’s tennis team for 29 years, from 1965 to 1994, and his teams won better than 50 percent of their matches.
 
He also helped found the women’s tennis program and was its coach for 21 years beginning in 1973. 

The Bona women won 64 percent of their matches under Panzarella. Combined, he amassed 333 career victories and along the way, guided both programs’ transition into the Atlantic 10 Conference.

Panzarella also served as a professor of English at St. Bonaventure for over five decades.
