Personal Awards/Honors

2006 Big Ten Coach of the Year

Daryl Greenan took over the helm of the Mississippi State women's tennis program in the fall of 2009 and led the Bulldogs for 14 seasons. He holds the most victories as a head coach in program history (157).

In 2023, Greenan guided Emmanouela Antoanki to an SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and an All-SEC Second Team selection. During the 2022 season Antonaki earned All-SEC second team.

Greenan guided MSU to its fifth consecutive winning season – the longest streak in program history with a 14-13 overall mark in 2019. The Bulldogs’ season was highlighted by a dramatic come-from-behind victory over No. 28 LSU on Senior Day in Starkville, as well as MSU’s first-ever win against Florida on March 3 in Gainesville – another 4-3 comeback triumph. Under Greenan’s guidance, freshman Emma Antonaki posted a remarkable rookie campaign, earning an invite to the NCAA Singles Championship and being tabbed ITA Southern Region Rookie of the Year. The All-SEC second-team honoree joined Anastasia Rentouli on the All-SEC list, also earning All-Freshman honors after playing the entire season in the top two spots in the singles lineup.

In 2018, Greenan guided the Bulldogs to a program-record, fourth-consecutive NCAA Team Championship appearance, finishing 16-11 overall. Along the way, State notched the highest-ranked victory in MSU Tennis history—downing No. 2-ranked and eventual NCAA finalist/SEC Champion Vanderbilt on March 15. State followed that up with an impressive 4-0 win over 14^th-ranked Kentucky two days later. Both of those triumphs were part of a program-record streak of five-straight SEC victories.

In 2017, State achieved its highest ITA national ranking ever (16th) in April. The Bulldogs also tied the school record for best final national ranking at No. 20. State went 15-9 in 2017, earning a third-consecutive NCAA bid, while also notching a second-straight seven-win season in the always-powerful Southeastern Conference (tying a school record).

On the individual level, Jasmine Lee and Lisa Marie Rioux became the first players to be named All-America since 1989. Lee achieved the school's highest singles ranking ever at No. 7 in May 2017. Lee was named All-SEC First Team for the third consecutive campaign, while Rioux earned All-Freshman laurels from the league. State also continued its academic prowess, with the majority of the team earning ITA Academic and Academic All-SEC honors.

The 2016 season was unquestionably State’s best under Greenan’s leadership, as the Bulldogs’ campaign ranks as one of the best in MSU women’s tennis history. MSU went 18-9 for the year, its second-most single-season triumphs ever. State also finished 7-6 in the powerful Southeastern Conference (the seven wins were a program best), including a school-record four in a row to end the regular season, and reached the NCAA Second Round and SEC quarterfinals for the second year in a row.

State finished 2016 ranked 23rd nationally, the second-highest final ITA ranking in program history. Of the Bulldogs' 18 wins, 13 came against ranked opponents and all nine of State's setbacks were to teams in the final top 20.

Individually in 2016, State saw its first singles ITA All-American named as junior Jasmine Lee earned a 9-16 seed in the 2016 NCAA Singles Championship. Georgiana Patrasc also represented State in NCAA Singles competition, while the Bulldog duo of Madison Harrison and Kristina Vozniak competed for MSU in the NCAA doubles draw. Lee advanced to the quarterfinals of singles, becoming the first State women's player ever to do so while Patrasc ended her incredible senior year and career (she finished as State's all-time leader in singles wins, third in overall wins) in the second round. Harrison and Vozniak became the second MSU pair to ever advance to the NCAA Round of 16 in doubles, joining 1989 NCAA Doubles champions Jackie Holden and Claire Pollard.

MSU had two 2016 All-SEC honorees. Lee landed on the All-SEC First Team for the second straight year, while Patrasc earned All-SEC Second Team laurels, her third career All-SEC selection. Lee and Patrasc picked up regional awards as well, being named the ITA Southern Region's Player to Watch and Most Improved Senior, respectively.

State ended 2015-16 with a school-record five players in the final ITA national individual rankings. Lee led the group in singles at No. 11, 12 spots higher than any State player has ever finished a season.

Greenan made a splash in his first season at State in 2010, winning eight of his first nine matches as head coach, moving the team into the top 50 nationally midway through the season.

Academically, MSU women’s tennis has continued its strong representation on all levels under Greenan. The Bulldogs have been named an ITA Academic Team (team GPA of 3.2 or better) in seven consecutive seasons. MSU players have also been named ITA Scholar Athletes (individual GPA of 3.5 or better) 30 times in that span.

In addition, Naomi Tran was named CoSIDA Academic All-American (Third Team) in 2015 and Bulldogs have been named Academic All-SEC 38 times in his seven years as head coach.

Iowa Head Coach (2005-09)
Prior to MSU, Greenan established himself as a head coach at the University of Iowa. The 2006 Big Ten Coach of the Year, Greenan completed his fifth season as head coach of the Iowa women's tennis squad in 2008-09. In his five seasons at Iowa, Greenan and the Hawkeyes compiled a 64-51 overall record and a 28-23 mark in Big Ten play. Iowa posted winning seasons in four of his five seasons, also finishing in the top four of the conference three times, qualifying for the NCAA Championship twice and crowning 17 Academic all-Big Ten honorees.

During the 2009 season, Iowa was ranked in the top 50 nationally at one point in the season. Greenan coached his top player to all-Big Ten status and that same player was also named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and ITA Midwest Regional Rookie of the Year. The Hawkeyes placed four players on the ITA Scholar-Athlete team and the entire team was named ITA All-Academic.

University of Alabama Assistant Coach (2002-04)
Prior to becoming a Hawkeye, Greenan was assistant women's tennis coach at the University of Alabama for three years (2002-04). Working under head coach Jenny Mainz, Greenan was involved in all aspects of the Tide's women's tennis coaching responsibilities. While at Alabama, Greenan was named the 2004 ITA South Region Assistant Coach of the Year. He helped guide the Crimson Tide to two top 30 national rankings, one top 40 finish and three consecutive trips to the NCAA Championship.

Mississippi University for Women Head Coach (1998-2001)
Greenan also has ties to the north Mississippi area, having served as the head coach at Mississippi University for Women from 1998-2001. At MUW, he compiled a 41-25 record with the Blues. He was also an assistant men's and women's coach at Valdosta [GA] State for two years (1997-98) prior to that stint.

Playing Career
As a player, Greenan was a member of the men's tennis team at Valdosta State. He was the No. 1 singles player for two seasons and was part of the No. 1 doubles team for three campaigns. Greenan was ranked in the top 20 in singles and achieved his highest doubles ranking in 1995, when he finished second in the nation. He was honored as part of the 1995 All-America team and earned All-Gulf South Conference honors three seasons. Greenan was inducted into the Valdosta State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004.

Personal
Born in Ontario, Canada, Greenan and his wife, Shannon (a native of West Point, Miss.), have a daughter, Willa. He earned his B.S. degree in health and fitness from Valdosta State in 1997.
