The Westmont men’s tennis program has a long history of success, numerous appearances in the national tournament, several All-Americans and an individual national champion.

The program began in the 1960’s and reached national prominence in the early 80’s as Coach Pete Shennum led the team to a pair of NAIA District titles and an 8th place finish in the NAIA in 1985. Coach Bill Detrich then took over, capturing two more District crowns and guided the Warriors to 5th place in the NAIA in 1985.

Former player Chris Elwood took over the coaching reigns in 1993 and proceeded to take the program to new heights. The Warriors won back-to-back-to-back GSAC titles in 1995, 1996 and 1997 and finished an all-time high of third in the NAIA in 1997. Included was an all-Westmont national singles final as Riva DaSilva topped teammate Ashley Fickel to win the 1997 NAIA championship.

In all, the Warriors have made 13 appearances in the NAIA national tournament and have produced 12 NAIA All-Americans.
