- 2017
Judy Dixon's 316-227 record in 25 seasons made her the winningest tennis coach in UMass history. Her coaching tenure at UMass began in 1993 as the head of the men's and women's tennis programs – a role she continued until 2001.
The 2017 Wilson/ITA Northeast Region Coach of the Year, Dixon paced the squad to the program's second conference title and second appearance at the NCAA Championships. During her tenure, she mentored 60 players who earned All-Atlantic 10 or All-Academic Team honors, including two Performers of the Year, six Rookies of the Year and one A-10 Student-Athlete of the Year.
Dixon eclipsed the 300-win mark on April 2, 2016 in a home victory over Fairleigh Dickinson. She is a six-time Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year.
With a mark of 17-5 overall in 2014-15, Dixon's Minutewomen posted the second-most wins in a season and were on the verge of winning the Atlantic 10 title before an injury cut short the championship match for UMass. Following the year, Dixon was recognized for the fifth time as the A-10 Coach of the Year (1998, 2001, 2003, 2012, 2015, 2017). Her squad was bolstered by Ana Yrazusta who was named the A-10 Rookie of the Year and senior Chanel Glasper who set the new program win record for singles play with 77 career victories.
In 2001, Dixon led the Minutewomen to the NCAA Tournament and a program-record 20-win campaign.
In her time coaching the men's team, she also posted a 95-90 record leading the Minutemen to the 1996-97 New England Championship title.
Dixon was inducted into the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017.
