The Pacific women's tennis team is adding an All-American to its coaching staff.
 
Sydnie Binder has been named assistant coach.
 
After winning high school state championships in Idaho and Oregon, Sydnie Binder, the oldest daughter of Pacific head coach Traci Binder, started her college career at Division I Boise State.
 
She then transferred to Pacific in 2019, becoming the first Boxer women's tennis player to win over 100 matches.
 
"We're thrilled to welcome Sydnie Binder back to Pacific University as our new women's tennis assistant coach," Traci Binder said. "Sydnie brings a remarkable blend of academic excellence and athletic experience, having earned double majors in Education and English in 2022 and her MFA in Creative Writing in 2024." 
 
At Pacific, Binder was a four-time All-Northwest Conference First Team and ITA All-Academic selection.
 
Playing doubles with her sister, Cassidy, Sydnie Binder was named an ITA All-American in 2023-24 and an ITA Cup participant. 
 
"Her success on the court and in the classroom reflects a deep commitment to growth, leadership, and connection—values that resonate powerfully within our program," Traci Binder said. "Sydnie's return is more than a homecoming; it's a bold step forward for our team."

Pacific hosts the 5-Way Tournament this Saturday and Sunday at the Holce Tennis Courts.
