Gonzalez, a Brockport alum, was the assistant women’s tennis coach from 1987-88 and served as head coach from 1992-2010. Gonzalez brings a wealth of experience with him, having held coaching roles at Brockport High School, Penfield High School, Greece Central Schools, the Jewish Community Center of Rochester and St. John Fisher College. Knowing the school and already having coached within the program will serve as a bonus in the addition of re-adding Gonzalez to the Golden Eagles Athletic Department.
