SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento State associate head women's tennis coach Jack Maddocks has been honored by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, named the Northwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year on Tuesday.

"I am so excited for Jack to be named ITA Region Assistant Coach of the Year," Head Coach Sophie Breault said. "He's shown great leadership, commitment, and a team-first mindset every single day. This award is a well-deserved recognition of the impact he's had on our team over the past few years."

Recently wrapping up his fourth season with the Hornets — his first as associate head coach — in 2025, Maddocks has helped shape a resurgence in the Sacramento State program since coming on as an assistant in 2022, teaming up with Breault and volunteer assistant Enrique Alcacer to return the Hornets back to the top of the Big Sky Conference.

In his four years, Maddocks has helped Sacramento State rise from a five-win team in his first season to claiming the 2024 Big Sky Conference regular season title — the 10th in the history of the program and the first since 2012 — and winning each of the last two Big Sky Tournament crowns, giving the Hornets a league-best 13 titles.

As a result, Sacramento State has advanced to the NCAA Tournaments in back-to-back years — the program's 14th and 15th all-time trips to the postseason — while compiling 41 wins over the last two campaigns, posting back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time since 2004 and 2005.

The 21-4 overall record during the spring of 2025 marked the most victories for the Hornets since 2008 as Sacramento State returned to the national rankings for the first time since 2015, reaching as high as No. 49 in the nation, while ending the year in the ITA's Northwest Regional rankings for the second straight season, finishing No. 10 in 2024 and No. 5 this past year.

Under his tutelage, 10 different student-athletes have gone on to collect a total of 22 All-Big Sky honors and 16 conference player of the week awards on the court, while claiming three ITA All-Academic Team honors, a total of 20 individual academic citations from the organization, and 20 Big Sky All-Academic Team awards off the court over the past three years. Academic awards for the 2025 season will be released at a later date.
