While at Akron, Roland worked extensively with Zips player Zara Harutyunyan, helping her become the first-ever freshman to win the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year award. Last season, Akron started the year 15-0 en route to finishing 19-3 and earning a second-place finish in the MAC.
Roland earned numerous honors while playing collegiately at Glendale Community College, being named an All-American and receiving the ITA Player to Watch Award in 1999. He was named the Western State Conference Player of the Year in 1999 and 2001,
and was also awarded the Arthur Ashe, Jr. Leadership and Sportsmanship Award in 2001.
After receiving his bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Cal Poly Pomona in 2005, Roland played on the professional circuit, recording a notable singles win over Sam Querrey. His younger sister Jessica Roland-Rosario has competed in the Fed Cup for Puerto Rico.
