Click on headline for complete story plus photo(s) By Chris Wells News from Lindsey Wilson College Sports Information COLUMBIA, KY - Former Blue Raider tennis student-athlete, Daniel Finn, has been named the head men's and women's tennis coach at his alma mater, Lindsey Wilson College athletics director Willis Pooler announced on Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Most recently, Finn spent two seasons as head coach at Union College, Barbourville, KY, where he was the 2010 NAIA East Region Men's Tennis Coach of the Year. "I'm very excited for the opportunity to come back to my alma mater and continue the excellence of Lindsey Wilson College tennis," Finn said. "This really is a dream come true. "Lindsey Wilson tennis has enjoyed great success over the years and it's my goal to take both teams to the next step where we will compete for national championships on a yearly basis." In two seasons at Union, Finn led the Bulldog tennis programs to national success, including the program's first ITA Southeast Region Singles' Championship and helping three men's players earn NAIA national singles' rankings at the same time at No. 14, 22 and 36. Individually, Finn received multiple coaching honors including the regional coach of the year award and being named the 2011 and 2010 Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Men's Tennis Coach of the Year. "Coach Finn's enthusiasm and knowledge of the game of tennis made him the clear choice to lead our men's and women's tennis programs," Pooler said. "He experienced first-hand as a student-athlete the mission of Lindsey Wilson College and I'm confident in his ability to provide the current and future Blue Raiders with the same tremendous experience he enjoyed while he played here." In Finn's first season at Union he recruited six new student-athletes to the men's team that helped the Bulldogs win 17 matches, including a conference championship and an appearance in the round of 16 at the NAIA National Championship.v On the women's side, Finn brought Aurelie Hascoet to Union where she earned an NAIA women's national ranking of No. 28 in singles and was named the AAC Women's Player of the Year. "Coach Finn has proven himself to be an outstanding coach and I believe he will elevate our already strong tennis programs to new heights," Pooler said. Prior to his stint at Union, Finn was the head men's tennis coach at NCAA Division III Simpson (Iowa) College. In one season with the Storm, Finn guided the team to a 9-13 record after inheriting a program that was 0-11 in 2008.Finn spent two seasons as an assistant at Lindsey Wilson following his playing career. During those two seasons as the Blue Raiders' assistant, Finn helped coach Candela Castanon to an individual national championship and helped the Lindsey Wilson women's tennis program to back-to-back appearances in the NAIA National Championship semifinals. As a student-athlete, Finn was a member of four Mid-South Conference championships teams and reached the NAIA National Tournament in each of his four seasons as a player. Lindsey Wilson reached the quarterfinals of the 2005 NAIA National Championship. Finn graduated from Lindsey Wilson in 2008 with a degree in Recreation and Physical Education. He is a graduate of Metcalfe County High School. "Lindsey Wilson is a tremendous environment where coaches are provided resources to be successful both on and off the court," Finn said. "I feel very fortunate to have come full-circle and coach at an institution I truly love," he said. This story was posted on 2011-06-21 10:28:54
