Oliver Maiberger Position: Assistant Coach Season at SDSU: Second

One of the most decorated student-athletes in San Diego State history, Oliver Maiberger begins his second season as an assistant coach for men's tennis.

Maiberger, who was a four-year letterwinner for the Aztecs, won five All-America honors from the 1999-00 through 2002-03 seasons. He will assist Gene Carswell in all aspects of the program.

"I feel very fortunate that we have been able to keep him at San Diego State," Carswell said. "He has been arguably the best player we have ever had at San Diego State."

"He has done everything - multiple All-America honors at singles and doubles, won a grand slam title, played in the NCAA doubles finals. He led us to back-to-back conference championships and was a valuable part of the team that advanced to the Sweet 16."

No player ushered in the current era of Aztec tennis success like Maiberger. His laundry list of accolades make him one of the most decorated athletes in the school's history: Five All-America honors, Three-Time Conference Player of the Year, Four-Time All-Conference Singles, Three-Time All-Conference Doubles, and 12-Time Conference Player of the Week.

Maiberger helped lead San Diego State to a 65-38 (63.1 percent) record and three NCAA Tournament appearances in his three seasons. He ended his career as the Aztec leader in singles victories (111), singles winning percentage (79.9 percent), doubles victories (103), and doubles team victories (59).

"Oliver was always a leader on our team as a player," Carswell said. "He led by example first and as a verbal leader second. I think that makes the transition easier for him. He is someone to be listened to because of his knowledge of the game."

Maiberger saved his best play for the grand slam events where he teamed with Ryan Redondo to claim the school's first tennis grand slam victory in the 2001 Omni Hotels National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships in Farmers Branch, Texas.

During his senior campaign, he ascended to the number one ranked doubles team in the country.

"Oliver is a winner," Carswell said. "To have him as part of the staff continues our philosophy of winning championships and to compete with the elite of college tennis."
