A native of Southridge MA., Lisi was a standout tennis player for the Pride. He played number one doubles and number two singles for SC, and was team captain during his junior and senior years.

"I am very excited to be a part of Greensboro College's proud outstanding athletic tradition," Lisi said. "Having the opportunity to coach both the men's and women's tennis teams is a great honor. Greensboro College impressed me from the minute I stepped onto the campus and am looking forward to working with both the staff and students to produce two very competitive programs."

In addition to coaching, Lisi will work as a building manager at GC’s Royce Reynolds Family Student Life Center.
