A native of South Africa, Bornman came to UCO in the spring of 1995 and went 10-1 in singles to earn All-America recognition.  He was 31-3 in singles and 24-5 in doubles as a sophomore in 1995-96 as an All-American in both, leading the Bronchos to the Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II Midwest Region titles along with a No. 6 national ranking.

Bornman won 55 matches again the next year (33-3 in singles, 22-5 in doubles) in repeating as an All-American in both and captured the national singles crown before capping his career with a sensational senior year in 1997-98.

He set school single-season records for wins in both singles (41-4) and doubles (29-5), won a second straight national title, was a twin All-American for the third consecutive year and was named Division II Senior Player of the Year.
