Former Concordia University
Wisconsin tennis star Steve Anschutz has rejoined the Falcon
athletic team as head coach of the women’s team program
beginning with the spring 2012 season.
Anschutz had an impressive collegiate tennis career helping CUW
win three-consecutive Northern Athletics Conference regular season
and tournament titles. He finished his career with a 67-39 overall
(25-1 NAC) record in singles play and a 63-44 overall (24-3 NAC)
record in doubles competition. Since graduation, he has
continued his involvement in tennis and has been a part of the
distinguished Paley Tennis Center for more than three years.
While being a tennis instructor, Anschutz has helped coach
the top-ranked juniors in Wisconsin. He has also helped start
two very strong tennis programs: the Paley Tennis Camp in Fredonia,
Wis., and a kids’ summer program in Fox Point, Wis.
Beyond being a tennis instructor, Anschutz has helped coach
the Nicolet High School varsity tennis teams. NHS has the
highest all-time win percentage in Wisconsin Interscholastic
Athletic Association tennis history and has one of the strongest
high school programs in the nation. While coaching at
NHS, Anschutz was the singles coach of both the boys’
and girls’ tennis teams. Under his tutelage, three out
of four singles competitors on the girls’ team made WIAA
State Tournament appearances, along with two out of four
boys’ single competitors. None of those players had made
it to the WIAA State Tournament previously.
He attributes much of his personal success in tennis to being
a student of the game; always learning from other players, coaches,
and even his own players. “I have high hopes for the CUW
women’s team. Our number one goal will be to continue to grow
and achieve individual and collective success.”
