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 finishΒ 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.
Β
His first coaching experience was as the volunteer coach at Arizona in 2020-21 where the Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Round of 16.
Β
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.
Β
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.
