Doanh Wang had led the Bryn Mawr tennis program since the 2015-16 academic year.
Wang comes to Bryn Mawr with a track record of success, having previously served as the head coach of the women’s and men’s tennis teams at Colby College. In his eight years at Colby, his teams achieved to heights not previously reached at that program. The women’s team was recognized as an ITA All-Academic Team each year, while the men received the same honor in all but one season under Wang. He also coached a two-time All-American and NCAA singles tournament qualifier, as well as a pair of doubles tournament qualifiers, all for the first time in program history at Colby.
Prior to his tenure at Colby, Wang was an assistant coach of women’s tennis at the University of Wisconsin for a season, and before that was the head women’s tennis coach at Edgewood College. In three years at Edgewood, Wang helped coach four players to conference singles championships and had four doubles champions. He was named Lake Michigan Conference Coach of the Year in 2005 and Northern Athletics Conference Coach of the Year in 2006.
An Upstate New York native, Wang played collegiate tennis at Binghamton University from 1991 to 1995 and helped the team earn their first-ever trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament during his senior year. At the time, this was a notable feat because only 12 teams were selected from the entire country to compete at the NCAA tournament. The squad finished the season ranked 10th nationally. In the fall of 2021, Wang and his 1994-95 teammates were inducted into the Binghamton University Athletics Hall of Fame for their historic achievement.
Wang earned a bachelor's degree in psychobiology from Binghamton University in 1995 and completed his master's degree in social work in 1999 from the University of Wisconsin.
“I strongly believe in the Division III philosophy encouraging a balanced scholar-athlete experience. I am confident that we can be a destination school for prospective scholar-athletes to pursue their academic and athletic goals. Bryn Mawr College is certainly a community where our scholar-athletes can aspire for excellence in their academic, athletic, and networking pursuits.”
