In the last two seasons, the Tigers have posted eight team victories in spring play.

Scatliffe led the Tigers to a record of 10-13 in her first year in charge of Pacific Women's Tennis. The Tigers advanced to the quarter-finals of the Big West Conference Championship last year, after a 4-0 win over Cal Poly. She coached two singles players (Julia Hansen and Iveta Masarova) and one doubles team (Julia Hansen/Iveta Masarova) to All-Big West Conference honors.  

Scatliffe came to Pacific after nearly a decade among the ranks of the Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara. Most recently, Scatliffe spent the 2011-12 season as the Gauchos Interim Head Coach as she took over the program after two years as a Gaucho assistant. In her one season at the helm of the Gaucho program, Scatliffe guided her women to 5-3 record in the Big West Conference and a semifinal showing at the conference championship tournament. Prior to her stint at the top of the program, Scatliffe spent three years as a Gaucho assistant. Among her duties as an assistant coach was creating a culture of academic success, a position she excelled at as she molded the Gauchos into the top academic team in the Big West over her final three seasons as a coach.

Additionally, Scatliffe worked as a tennis pro at Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club in Goleta. She also worked for the Santa Barbara Tennis Patron, traveling to various elementary and junior high schools in the Santa Barbara and Goleta area, teaching children tennis during their P.E. time.

A four-year letter-winner for the Gauchos from 2004-2008, Scatliffe earned All-Big West honors in doubles three times. In her four years of competition, Scatliffe won nearly 50 doubles matches and 40 singles matches. A native of San Bernardino, Calif., Scatliffe graduated from UCSB with a BA in sociology in 2008. 

She joined the Tiger Tennis family with a wealth of experience of on court competition and player development. As an alumni of Arizona State University Women’s Tennis Team, off court, she received a double major in Business Marketing and Management. On court, she served as the team captain her last two seasons and climbed to #4 in the nation for doubles during her senior campaign and was the All-American Doubles Champion; earning the program’s first National Championship. Kady led her team to four NCAA tournament appearances and made the individual tournament all four years. She was PAC-10 All Conference Honorable Mention (2007), PAC-10 Player of the week- Program’s first ever (2006), named to PAC-10 All Academic 2nd Team (2006), Honorable Mention (2005 and 2007), Maroon and Gold Scholar Athlete (2005-2007), and Heather Farr Award Finalist at the Arizona State Sparky Awards for her combined efforts in academics, athletics, sportsmanship, leadership and commitment to community service.

Upon graduation, Kady participated in Teach for America, a national service corps committed to teaching in under-resourced communities and fulfilling her two-year commitment at John F. Kennedy High School in Richmond, CA. She has taught special education for grades 9-12 and served as the school Athletic Director in 2009 overseeing all 12 sports. From 2010-2012 Kady taught Algebra 1 and Public Speaking at Cardinal Newman High School in Santa Rosa, CA, while also coaching the Women’s and Men’s tennis teams.

As a professional tennis player she has had a World Ranking in both Singles (No. 939) and Doubles (No. 459). Kady has competed at the highest level of international tennis and is currently competing on the professional circuit after taking a five-year hiatus. Kady has been coaching both junior players and adults for the last 5 years. She has served as head of tennis instruction to hotel guests and club members at one of the USTA Magazine “Top 50 Tennis Resorts in the World” on the Big Island, Hawaii. She has also traveled internationally with two of the top ranked junior players coaching them on the ITF circuit.  Kady will undoubtedly be a huge asset to Pacific Tennis and the athletic program.
