Concordia University-Wisconsin Men's Tennis

Steve Anschutz serves as the head coach of both the men's and women's tennis programs at Concordia University Wisconsin and has quickly built both teams into perennial contenders. Anschutz has led the women's program since the spring of 2012 and took over the men's team in 2015.
