  Women's Tennis: Amy Behrman
Alma Mater: Catawba '04
Years at Wooster: 13
Amy Behrman has led The College of Wooster women’s tennis team since November 2012.
Behrman has taken great strides in upgrading Wooster’s women’s program, helping the team to 105 wins while recruiting new talent, aided by 12 brand new tennis courts on the northeast end of campus that were constructed during the 2022-23 academic year, a newer 48,000 square foot six-court indoor tennis club in Wooster, and the ability to practice within the College’s $30 million Scot Center.
Wooster’s winningest women’s tennis coach’s efforts paid off with the program recording its highest winning percentage in over a decade during the 2016-17 season, the team following that up with a 15-5 record during the 2017-18 season for the second-most wins in program history, and the program advancing to the semifinals of the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament for the first time since 1999 in 2023. Four Wooster student-athletes have earned the NCAC Newcomer of the Year award since 2013, the team and most individual student-athletes qualify for Intercollegiate Tennis Association academic honors on an annual basis, and Janaki Jagannathan graduated in 2025 with the second-most wins in program history and a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
Prior to coming to Wooster, Behrman was interim head women’s tennis coach at NCAA Div. I Ball State University near her hometown of Daleville, Indiana. There, Behrman guided the Cardinals to eight victories and a spot in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Mid-American Conference Tournament. Behrman was head coach at Yorktown High School in 2009 while serving as a tennis instructor at Muncie Northwest YMCA.
Behrman earned all-conference honors three times as a collegiate player at NCAA Div. II Catawba College in North Carolina, including first-team status as a sophomore and junior. A team co-captain twice, she recorded 46 doubles wins during her career, tied for the third-most in school history upon graduation.
Behrman completed her bachelor’s degree at Catawba in 2004, while double-majoring in physical education and sports and recreation management with a coaching minor. During that time, Behrman was the tennis coordinator for the Asheboro Parks and Recreation Department.
Of note, Behrman is from a tennis family. Her father coached professional Kent Kinnear for 10 years on tour, her mom was a high school tennis coach, and her brother led Ball State to a women’s MAC Tournament title and NCAA Div. I Tournament berth in 2023.
