Glenn Marshall will begin his 29th year leading the UConn tennis programs this fall. Marshall was named the head coach of the Huskies’ men’s tennis program in 1992 and the Director of Tennis when he added the head coaching duties of the women’s program to his responsibilities in 1997.
Marshall coached both programs up until 2013 when the Huskies made the move into the American Athletic Conference, remaining the Director of Tennis and at the helm of just the women’s program.
Since joining the AAC, Marshall has guided the Huskies to plenty of program “firsts”. Following the 2017-18 season, UConn achieved the program’s highest national ranking at No. 85 in the ITA National Team Rankings. In addition, a pair of Huskies earned the program’s first-ever ITA regional ranking as Yelyzaveta Pletnyeva was ranked 13th in singles play and along with Jacqueline Fitz-Randolph, were ranked seventh in doubles play.
Marshall helped guide Pletnyeva, who finished with an 88-30 career singles record, a .746 winning percentage, two two-straight appearances on the AAC All-Conference team. One of the highlights of her season was a run to the round of 16 at the ITA Northeast Regional Championship in the fall, the furthest any Husky has ever advanced in the prestigious tournament.
