A four-year standout for the Hawks from 2003 to 2006, Jimmy Holland returns to his alma mater in 2007-08 as an assistant coach with Saint Joseph's women's tennis team.

A two-time Atlantic 10 All-Conference selection for the Crimson and Gray, Holland finished his collegiate career as arguably the best No. 2 singles player in team history. The Coatesville, Pa., native finished his playing career with both the marks for the most wins in a single-season (13) and career (23) at the second flight. His 58 career victories are tied for fifth most in Saint Joseph's history.

As a senior, he entered the year ranked among the top 150 players in the country. With the departure of SJU's top performer, Holland stepped up to the No. 1 flight and posted an 8-10 record in match play. Even though he finished the year with a 14-18 overall mark - including a 6-8 mark in invitational play - Holland was recognized for his play by Atlantic 10 coaches with selection to the All-Conference Team.

Battling through a nagging back injury as a junior, Holland finished the season 8-11 overall playing primarily at No. 2 singles, while going 9-8 in doubles competition.

Earning Atlantic 10 All-Conference honors as a sophomore, Holland finished the season 8-9 in match play and went 5-9 in invitational meets for a 13-18 overall mark. Helping the Hawks to a program-best fourth-place finish at the A-10 Championship, he posted a 2-1 mark at the conference tournament and finished the season 4-1 in A-10 matches.

Emerging as a staple in SJU's lineup as a rookie, Holland established himself as the No. 2 singles player quickly, setting a single-season record of 13 wins at that flight. His 13-9 mark at second singles, compiled with a 10-5 record in invitational matches, helped the 6-foot-3 freshman set the Hawks' single-season mark for wins.

The Hawks, as a team, posted a record of 44-34 during his four years, including a program-best 15 wins in 2002-03.

A graduate of Bishop Shanahan High School, he was twice named Philadelphia Inquirer Player of the Year. A four-year standout on the courts, Holland earned All-State and All-Area honors twice and earned All-District honors three times. He was selected as the Daily Local News Player of the Year as a freshman and sophomore.
