BRIAN ETZKIN HEAD COACH | 14 SEASON AT CSU th

Over the past 13 seasons Brian Etzkin has turned the Cleveland State women’s tennis program into one of the top teams in the Horizon League, and he will be looking to continue that success during the 2015-16 season. Etzkin became the head coach at CSU prior the 2002-03 season, taking over a women’s program that was in dire need of rebuilding. And the change came quickly, as the Vikings won 10 matches during Etzkin’s second year and have finished .500 or better in 10 of his 13 seasons. The winningest coach in school history, Etzkin reached an impressive milestone during the 2012-13 season, recording his 150th career victory with the women’s program. Entering the 2015-16 season, Etzkin has an overall record of 172-166 at the helm of the Vikings. Etzkin’s success on the court has translated into an array of Horizon League accolades, including three Horizon League Coach of the Year awards (2004, 2011, 2014). He has mentored 17 All-League honorees, two Horizon League Players of the Year (Sarah Galon-2005 and Lauren Golick-2014), and two Horizon League Newcomers of the Year (Sarah Galon-2004 and Lauren Golick-2014). During Etzkin’s tenure, two Vikings have earned First Team honors every year of their career - Sarah Galon (2004, ‘05, ‘06, ‘07) and Catrine Bjerrehus (2009, ‘10, ‘11, ‘12). The Vikings are just as impressive off the court, as Victoria Bensimon, Ellen Folkers, Mathilde Orange, and Jana Schober were named ITA Scholar-Athletes last year. The women’s team has also received ITA All-Academic Team honors nine times under Etzkin, including last season when they posted a team grade point average of 3.5 for the 2014-15 academic year. Three Vikings have also been awarded the Horizon League Herb Foster Sportsmanship Award, including Sarah Galon who was a two-time recipient (2006, 2007). Charlotte Gibbons (2010) and Morgan Ungerott (2008) also earned the accolade during their time at CSU. Etzkin has also encouraged his players to become community leaders. Over the past 12 years four members of the women’s tennis team have been officers in the Cleveland State Student-Athlete Advisory Council – Victoria Bensimon, Nicole Janek, Sarah Galon and Morgan Ungerott. In addition, the Vikings have gotten involved in many community service projects over the years, including working at the Cleveland Food Bank, adopting a second grade class at Marion-Sterling Elementary school in downtown Cleveland and spending time at the Devon Oaks Assisted Living facility.

During Polito’s first stint at Cleveland State, the women’s team advanced to the semifinals of the Horizon League Tournament for the fourth straight season, and had three players earn postseason honors. During Polito’s six-month hiatus from Cleveland State (February 2014-July 2014), he served as the head boys and girls coach at Hawken School in Gates Mills, Ohio. Polito joined the Cleveland State coaching staff during the 2012-13 season after a six-year stint as an assistant coach with the women’s tennis team at Georgia. During his tenure, the Bulldogs posted an overall record of 139-29, won two regular season SEC championships, claimed three SEC tournament titles and advanced past the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament three times. Georgia also finished the year ranked in the ITA top-10 five out of his six years. For his efforts with the Bulldogs, Polito was named the 2008 Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association South Region Assistant Coach of the Year, and promoted to associate head coach in September of 2010. Prior to his time in Athens, Polito spent two years as an assistant coach at Kansas (2004-06) and two years in the same position at Ohio State (2001-03). With the Jayhawks, Polito’s coaching and recruiting efforts helped make dramatic improvements on and off the court, culminating with ITA All-Academic Team honors and an ITA No. 59 ranking following the 2006 season. At Ohio State, Polito led the Buckeyes to a combined record of 31-19 and consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2002, he was honored as the ITA Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year.
