Mike Fenwick recently concluded his first season as the assistant coach for Penn after joining the staff in September of 2018. He arrived in University City after spending almost a decade as an assistant at Penn State, where he was named ITA Atlantic Region Assistant Coach of the Year.
In his first season with the Quakers, Fenwick helped orchestrate Penn's best season since 2007, as the Red and Blue won 16 games and finished second in the Ivy League with a 5-2 record.
At Happy Valley, Fenwick helped the Nittany Lions to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in over 10 seasons, their first win over Nebraska in team history and helped a doubles pair become the third in program history to make the NCAA Doubles Tournament.
Before Penn State, Fenwick was a volunteer assistant at Baylor University, helping the Bears to a No. 7 ranking in the ITA poll in 2009-10, his only season in Waco.
Prior to Baylor, he spent four years at Western Illinois as an assistant with both the men’s and women’s programs. The Leathernecks won the Summit League in 2008, the program’s first regular-season title.
Fenwick graduated from Western Illinois University in 2006 with a degree in business management and earned his master’s from WIU in recreation, park and tourism administration in 2009. He played tennis at Quincy University after previously attending Sauk Valley Community College and Illinois Valley Community College.
