Head coach of the Golden Bears from 1978-2007, Jan Brogan compiled a 539-223 record, retiring with the fourth-most wins on the NCAA’s all-time tennis victories list. An eight-time conference Coach of the Year and four-time regional Coach of the Year, Brogan was named the National Coach of the Year in 1990. She guided the Bears to 28 consecutive postseason berths, including 21 top-10 finishes. Under her tutelage, Cal produced 61 All-Americans, 19 first-team All-Pac-10 players and five conference Players of the Year. In 1991, Lisa Albano became the first Golden Bear to reach the NCAA singles final, while Susie Babos was Cal’s first singles champion, taking the title in 2006. The Bears also captured four NCAA doubles titles under Brogan. Cal players were named to the Pac-10 All-Academic squad 27 times and were voted Academic All-American on four occasions. Brogan was a member of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Committee for seven years and also served as co-chair of the ITA Sports Science Committee with former Cal assistant coach Kathy Toon. She was inducted into the USTA NorCal Hall of Fame in 2007.
