TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona women's tennis head coach Ryan Stotland has signed a three-year contract extension through the 2028 season, Vice President and Director of Athletics Desireé Reed-Francois announced Wednesday.  

"Coach Stotland is building meaningful momentum – on the court, in the classroom, and throughout our community," said Reed-Francois. "For the first time since 2012, our women's tennis program has earned back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, a testament to the competitive culture he is cultivating. His student-athletes achieved a program-high 3.83 GPA and are active in serving our community, all while representing Arizona with pride and purpose. We look forward to building on that success under his leadership." 

In addition to the consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament, Stotland and the Wildcats are consistently in the national rankings, reaching as high as No. 26 during the 2025 season, and have four seasons with double-digit wins in addition to 14 all-conference honorees. The Wildcats finished with a 19-11 overall record and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championship in the first season as a member of the conference. Off the court, the 3.83 team GPA is a program record and Tanvi Narendran was named the 2025 Big 12 Women's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year. 

"I'm grateful to President Dr. Suresh Garimella and Director of Athletics Desireé Reed-Francois for their continued belief in me and in the program," Stotland said. "We've made tremendous strides, and I'm proud of the culture, competitiveness, and character our team continues to embody. Arizona is home, and I'm excited for the opportunity to keep elevating the program and building something special. Bear Down." 

Stotland, a 2000 graduate of the University of New Mexico, returned to Arizona in 2018 after six seasons as head coach at Fresno State. He also served as an assistant coach for the Wildcats from 2008 to 2012. 
Before his return, he guided Fresno State to four regular-season Mountain West titles and two conference tournament championships. He coached multiple NCAA qualifiers and mentored future professionals, including All-American Mayar Sherif Ahmed.
