Sean Sloane enters his 12th season at the helm of the Haverford College men's tennis program. Sloane has amassed 96 wins and will likely surpass 100 during the 2009 season. Sloane joined Haverford in 1997 as head men's tennis and men's and women's squash coach with many distinguished accomplishments already to his credit.
Head coach of Williams College for both tennis and squash for the better part of 16 years, Sloane took time out only to earn his doctorate in sports administration from the University of Massachusetts. He then was a top administrator with the U.S. Tennis Association and remains a tennis referee for many important professional tennis tournaments.
Under his guidance, the Fords' men's tennis team has demonstrated improvement in the levels of both participation and success - as evident by back-to-back second-place Centennial Conference finishes in 2003 and 2004 and a conference doubles title in 2004. In 2007 and 2008 HC advanced to the Centennial Conference championship. In the 2008 conference semifinal, Haverford defeated archrival Swarthmore College for the first time since 1956, which broke a string of 50 losses.
