In 2018, Younes Limam led SU to a 17-8 record. The team reached as high as No. 25 in the national rankings.
Syracuse has agreed on a “long-term contract extension” with its women’s tennis coach, Younes Limam, SU Athletics announced Wednesday.
Limam just completed his fourth year coaching the Orange. He has led SU to the first two NCAA tournament appearances in program history, first in 2016 and then in 2018.
The 2018 season was one of the best in Syracuse history, as the Orange reached a ranking as high as No. 25 nationally and finished 17-8. SU also featured an All-American singles player in junior Gabriela Knutson, who finished the season ranked No. 8 in the country. Knutson combined with Miranda Ramirez for an All-American doubles finish, as well.
Limam also led Syracuse to its biggest upset in program history in 2018. The Orange knocked off then-No. 3 Georgia Tech, 4-3, on April 1.
Prior to coaching at Syracuse, Limam was an assistant coach at Rice University for five seasons. A native of Mohammedia, Morocco, Limam played collegiate tennis at Division II Drury University.
