Belmont Abbey College Finalizes Reidy Tennis Center Construction with Alumni Gift

Belmont Abbey College Finalizes Reidy Tennis Center Construction with Alumni Gift

Belmont, N.C. (October 7, 2025) – Belmont Abbey College has received a significant donation from alumnus Doug Ehmann, class of 1985, enabling the completion of the Reidy Tennis Center and Pavilion, a facility honoring the late Coach Michael “Mike” Reidy.  

Doug Ehmann, a longtime supporter of the College, has contributed significantly to campus life over the years. A former member of the Board of Trustees, Ehmann helped build the Abbey’s golf team and served as its coach, supported improvements to the Wheeler Center, and played a pivotal role in the development of the tennis facilities. In 2008, he was honored with the Br. Gregory Corcoran Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award—recognition that not only highlights his personal accomplishments but also exemplifies the meaningful ways Belmont Abbey alumni continue to give back. Personally acquainted with Coach Reidy and inspired by his legacy, Ehmann’s recent $1.4 million donation provides the final funding needed to complete the Reidy Tennis Center and Pavilion.

Coach Mike Salomon, head tennis coach at Belmont Abbey, expressed his gratitude, stating, “Our mission in Abbey Tennis is to build up our student-athletes in mind, body, and soul. We’re grateful for the generosity of Doug Ehmann and hope to exhibit the legacy of Mike Reidy on the courts for years to come.”

“Doug’s impact on our community has been instrumental to the Abbey’s progress and success. We are deeply grateful for his continued support of Belmont Abbey College,” said Dr. Joseph Wysocki, Interim President of Belmont Abbey College.

Coach Reidy, who joined Belmont Abbey College in 1969, led the men’s tennis team for 31 years. Under his guidance, the team secured six conference titles and made seven national tournament appearances, including reaching the NCAA Division II Sweet 16 in 2001. Reidy was named conference Coach of the Year four times and also led the women’s tennis program to a conference championship in 1999. His contributions established Belmont Abbey’s holistic approach, which serves as a life-changing foundation for student-athletes that yields success on and off the court. Bonnie Reidy, Mike’s wife of more than fifty years, served as a second mom to many of the tennis players—offering encouragement, support, and a welcoming presence that made the Abbey feel like home. She continues to be a beloved friend of the Abbey and a cherished part of its extended community.

Abbot Placid Solari, O.S.B., reflected on Coach Reidy’s legacy, “Coach Reidy’s most enduring legacy comes from his role as a mentor and teacher for innumerable players, students, and friends. He taught his players that academics were first and that if you did not learn sportsmanship, you were not on his team. Countless alumni refer to him as a second father and acknowledge that they owe much of their success, personally and professionally, to Coach.”

The Reidy Tennis Center and Pavilion will include locker and shower rooms, restrooms, coaches’ offices, team meeting rooms, gathering spaces, and outdoor fan seating. Construction is set to begin early next year.
