Hall of Fame
John Ippolito led one of the most dominant eras of any sport in Northeast-10 Conference history as his men’s tennis teams captured nine straight Northeast-10 Championships during his 10 years as the Assumption College head coach. A five-time Northeast-10 Coach of the Year, Ippolito’s teams posted an overall record of 187-41 for a winning percentage of .820 and advanced to nine straight NCAA Tournaments. His teams were even more impressive in Northeast-10 play, posting a record of 101-13 for a winning percentage of .886. At one point, the Hounds posted 117 straight victories under Ippolito. He also coached 24 of the 25 winningest players in Assumption College history, including four-time Northeast-10 Player of the Year and Northeast-10 Conference Hall of Fame member Sean Kenney.
