Dave Borelli, who won seven national titles as coach of the USC women’s tennis team, died in July.
His seven national titles are still the most won by a USC women’s sport. And USC women’s tennis has not won a national title since Borelli left in 1988.
He won national titles in 1977 (2), 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983 and 1985. Borelli’s teams won 88 straight home matches over an eight-year period.
Borelli coached 56 All-Americans and seven NCAA singles and doubles champions, including Barbara Hallquist (1977); Stacy Margolin (1978); Anna Maria Fernandez (1981) and Beth Herr (1983). Anne White and Trey Lewis won the NCAA doubles title in 1980.
He was also a member of the USC men’s tennis team in the 1970’s. Borelli also coached men’s tennis and women’s tennis for 12 seasons at TCU.
The fact is USC has not come close to his success in women’s tennis since he left.
Lettered in tennis in school (high school, not USC) and loved the game
