Athletics announced its second coaching move in two days with the hiring of Baylor’s assistant director of tennis, Kyle Spencer
Spencer, 33, was named the ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year last month and was an All-American doubles player at USC (1995-1998).
From the press release:
“Coach Spencer is a terrific fit for Maryland,” director of athletics Deborah A. Yow said. “He has been an integral part of a nationally-recognized program and we believe he will elevate our program to the same status over time.”
“I would like to thank Debbie Yow and her staff for this fantastic opportunity,” Spencer said. “I’m very excited to get the program moving forward. Not only does Maryland play in one of the top leagues in the country, but it also has a wonderful academic reputation. The facilities are first-class which should help in recruiting the top talent in the Maryland area.”
