Mitch Stewart, a four-time All-Pac-12 Team performer for the Dawgs from 2015-18, returned to his alma mater for one season as Assistant Coach in 2022-23, working alongside Head Coach Rahim Esmail.
During his one season back in Seattle, Stewart helped a very young Husky squad without a single senior go 12-11 and finish the season ranked 45th nationally. Washington had graduated its top-three singles players from 2022, but pulled off several huge wins with the youthful group, beating Pac-12 regular season co-champs Utah, and getting the first season sweep of Stanford and California since 2005. Cesar Bouchelaghem, Han-Chih Lin, and Dzianis Zharyn all earned the first All-Pac-12 honors of their careers, and Bouchelaghem finished the season ranked 82nd in singles.
Stewart was the Assistant Coach at the University of Denver in 2021-22, helping the Pioneers to a 15-7 overall record and a Summit League title with a 5-0 record. Denver ended the year ranked 65th nationally and had a doubles duo end the year ranked No. 76, with James Davis earning an NCAA Singles Championship bid.
His first coaching experience was as the volunteer coach at Arizona in 2020-21 where the Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Round of 16.
A Puget Sound native, Stewart grew up in Federal Way and attended Federal Way High School where he won the Washington 4A state titles in 2012 and 2013. A blue chip top-10 national recruit, he stayed home to play for the purple and gold, where he went on to post a 67-36 singles record in his four years, earning All-Pac-12 Second Team status each season.
In his senior year in 2018, Stewart finished the year ranked No. 81, and was ranked as high as No. 57 during the season. He went 16-3 in dual play, and was named the ITA Northwest Region Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award winner. He was also a Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team pick as a senior.
