The 2017-18 season was a record-breaking year for Winslow and the Royals. Scranton shattered the program record for wins in a season by going 19-4 (7-0 Landmark) on their way to its first Landmark Conference championship since 2014. After defeating Catholic 5-1 to win the conference title, the Royals defeated Gwynedd Mercy 5-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for just their second-ever win in the national championship tournament. A powerful Williams squad would end Scranton's outstanding season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Royals were well-represented on the year-end Landmark Conference awards as the Royals swept the three major awards with Winslow being named Coach of the Year, senior Julia Frattaroli earning Player of the Year honors, and freshman Tatiana Klacko capturing Rookie of the Year accolades. Frattaroli and sophomore Nastashia DeNunzio were both named First Team All-Conference in both singles and doubles while Klacko and junior Emilia Jakubek were First Team pick in doubles.
The Royals have advanced to the Landmark Conference semifinals in each of the last three seasons and have totaled 30 victories during that time including a 15-8 mark in conference play. 2024 saw graduate student Lily Nowak break the career singles and doubles wins record Nowak capped off her spectacular career as she earned All-Landmark honors for a fourth consecutive season.
After having their 2020 canceled because of COVID-19, the Royals returned to the Landmark Conference title match in 2021, losing a heartbreaker at Moravian, 5-4, to finish wtih an 8-2 mark. Going 6-1 in Landmark Conference action throughout the year, three student-athletes earned All-Landmark Conference second team accolades at the end of the year.
The 2018-19 campaign was another strong one for Scranton, as they reached the Landmark Conference championship match to finish with an 11-7 overall mark (6-1 in the Landmark). Scranton cleaned up in the postseason conference awards, with six student-athletes earning All-Landmark accolades. Leading the group was DeNunzio, who was named the Landmark's Player of the Year and a First Team All-Conference selection in both singles and doubles. DeNunzio was joined Jakubek as a First Team choice at both singles & doubles, while both Marissa Campo and Emily Kelly were First Team picks in singles.
In 2016-17, the Royals finished with an 8-9 overall mark and were the number four seed in the Landmark Conference playoffs. But there, Scranton posted a big upset of top-seeded Drew on the road to earn Scranton a bid to the Landmark Conference Championship match for the third time in Winslow's four seasons as head coach.
In 2015-16, Winslow led the Royals back to the Landmark Conference playoffs, as the team finished with a 12-7 overall mark, 6-1 in the Landmark. Senior Emily Walsh and Frattaroli were First Team All-Landmark Conference selections at both singles and doubles, as Walsh became the programs all-time leader in singles victories during the season.
In her first season as the Royals head coach in 2013-14, Winslow led the team to its third straight Landmark Conference championship and an 11-7 overall record. Walsh earned All-Landmark Conference first-team honors and was named the MVP of the Landmark Conference playoffs. Juniors Megan Azzalina and Nicole Mahaffey also earned second-team all-conference honors.
In 2014-15, she piloted the team to a 12-5 record and the no. 2 seed in the Landmark Conference playoffs, where the Royals reached the championship match for the fourth straight season. Four players -- Azzalina, Frattaroli, Mahaffey and Walsh -- went on to earn first-team All-Landmark Conference honors.
Winslow returned to coaching after leading the women’s tennis team at nearby Marywood University in Scranton for 21 seasons from 1986 to 2007. During that time, she became the winningest coach in Marywood athletics history (she now ranks second) by going 199-63 (.760) while posting 20 winning seasons, including 10 seasons of 10-or-more victories.
The Pacers won nine Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) titles and two Eastern States Athletic Conference titles under Winslow’s tutelage. She was PAC Coach of the Year on six occasions and was inducted into the Marywood Athletics Hall of Fame in 2003. Two years earlier, she led the Pacers to a school record-tying 14 victories as part of a nine-season run of 10-or-more victories that spanned from 1997-98 through 2005-06.
Winslow started her professional career at The University of Scranton in 1986 when she was hired as Associate Director of Recreational Sports. She served in that capacity until 1997, when she became the Director of Recreational Sports, the title she currently holds. She has also served as an adjunct professor in The University’s Department of Exercise Science since 1994. She was honored with membership in the Pro Deo et Universitate for 20 years of service at The University in 2005.
A member of the United States Tennis Association, Winslow is also a member and active volunteer with the Lupus Foundation of Northeastern Pennsylvania and was honored as a “Northeast Woman” in 1998 for her work with the Foundation.
