Saint Anselm College

Paulette Bourgeois is the winningest coach in the history of the Saint Anselm College women’s tennis program. Paulette joins her daughter, Cheryl, in the Hall of Fame, becoming the only mother-daughter pair enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Cheryl was inducted in 1995.

"Paulette formulated the foundation for what has become a solid women’s tennis program here at Saint Anselm College,” said Ed Cannon, director of athletics.

Paulette guided the team to an 82-57 overall record during her 11-year career with the Hawks. In Northeast-10 Conference play, her teams were 45-31, dominating the early days of NE-10 competition. The team posted a combined record of 20-4 from 1981-85, including a perfect 6-0 NE-10 mark in 1985.  In that year, she guided the Hawks to their program-best overall record of 11-1.
