University of Oregon Ducks In the 2004-05 season, Schyllander led the Ducks to a 17-9 record and a top 25 national ranking. The 17 wins were the program’s highest since the Pac-10 merged into a nine-team women’s tennis conference in 1997 and a seven-win improvement from 200203. The Ducks reached the second round of the NCAA Team Championships, falling to No. 9 Washington, 4-3. The bid marked the Ducks’ fourth postseason appearance in eight years. Individually, Schyllander has coached two All-Americans (Daria Panova, 200203, 2003-04 and Courtney Nagle, 2002-03) and sent four players to the NCAA Individual Championships (Panova, Nagle, Dominika Dieskova, Alina Wygonowska). Prior to being named head coach, Schyllander was an assistant coach at Oregon for four years. Schyllander originally came to Eugene after a stint in Aliso Viejo in southern California, mentoring four nationally-ranked junior players in one and a half years. Prior to that, he served as the Advanced Junior Tennis Director for the Sam Olsen Professional Academy, coordinating the administrative aspects of the program and traveling with his players to regional and national tournaments. A former Northern Arizona University standout, Schyllander began his collegiate coaching career with the Lumberjacks as an assistant coach at Northern Arizona University during the 1995-96 season. He coordinated the team’s recruiting and practice components, and also oversaw opponent scouting and various administrative duties. As a player, the two-time Big Sky Conference Honorable Mention selection was also voted the team’s MVP and Northern Arizona University’s men’s athlete of the year in 1995. Prior to his arrival in Flagstaff, Ariz., Schyllander played one season at Saddleback College, receiving All-America recognition in 1993. A native of Tessinkolan, Sweden, he graduated from high school in 1990 with an emphasis in Political Science.
