Taylor Hollander
- Title:
- Head Coach
Taylor Hollander enters her fourth season as Head Women’s Tennis Coach at the United States Air Force Academy. Named the program’s 10th head coach in 2023, Hollander has quickly transformed Air Force into a competitive Mountain West program while developing leaders of character and future Air Force officers through the sport.
In 2025, Hollander engineered the largest single-season turnaround in Air Force women’s tennis history, guiding the Falcons to a 12-14 season. Air Force defeated New Mexico and then upset No. 2 seed Nevada, 4-1, in the Mountain West Championship quarterfinals, the program’s highest-seeded postseason victory since 2017. The Falcons finished the season ninth in the ITA Mountain Region.
The breakthrough continued in 2025-26, when Air Force posted a program-record 8-3 Mountain West record, earning the No. 4 seed and a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
Before Air Force, Hollander was an assistant coach at Colorado State, where she helped the Rams produce their most successful season to that point, including a 15-8 overall record and an 8-2 Mountain West mark. She also helped establish multiple CSU program records during her tenure. She previously coached at Sacramento State and began her coaching career at Queens University, where both the men’s and women’s teams won conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
A former Division I standout at North Florida, Hollander earned four All-Atlantic Sun honors, won 47 career singles matches, served as team captain and helped UNF make two NCAA Tournament appearances. She also competed in javelin as a two-sport athlete and earned her degree in child psychology.
Hollander played for and studied under Audra Cohen, who is now the head women’s tennis coach at Oklahoma. Cohen led North Florida to four regular-season and tournament championships during a dominant five-year stretch, providing Hollander with an outstanding foundation in collegiate tennis and coaching.
With a historic turnaround, a program-record conference season, and continued recruiting and player development success, Hollander has established Air Force women’s tennis as a program on the rise and a legitimate Mountain West contender.
