July 26, 2016 | Women's Tennis
Bowling Green State University Director of Athletics Bob Moosbrugger has announced the hiring of Stephanie Dalmacio as head tennis coach. Dalmacio, a native of Belem, Brazil, assumes the helm after spending the last two seasons as assistant coach of the Falcons.
"I am so excited and extremely thankful for the opportunity to lead this amazing group of young women," said Dalmacio. "They are what makes this job fulfilling and I can't wait to continue to help them become successful, accomplished student-athletes."
Dalmacio brought a variety of experiences as a player and a coach to Northwest Ohio upon her arrival at BGSU in January of 2015. She spent the 2013-14 season as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Northern Iowa, helping the Panthers to a 12-12 overall mark.
Dalmacio served as a student assistant coach at Wichita State University, her alma mater, during the 2010-11 academic year, and also has been a tennis professional at various locales, including the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, Fla.; Manursing Island Club in Rye, N.Y.; Buckskill Tennis Club in East Hampton, N.Y.; Point O'Woods Tennis in Bay Shore, N.Y.; and KTC Quail Tennis Club in Dayton, Ohio.
"We are excited to announce Stephanie's promotion to head coach," said BGSU Assistant AD Steve Messenger. "She has a great rapport with the student-athletes, and has really shown her leadership skills during the past few months. It is evident that Stephanie possesses the attributes necessary to positively impact our program and the University."
A four-year letterwinner at Wichita State, she helped the Shockers to three Missouri Valley Conference championships, earning all-conference honors in singles in all four seasons (2007-10) and in doubles in three of those four years. Dalmacio won an MVC title at the number-one singles flight in 2009 after winning a conference championship at the top doubles flight the previous year. In 2010, Dalmacio teamed up with Delia Damaschin to qualify as individuals for the NCAAs, and that duo earned All-America honors.
WSU went 30-1 in MVC regular-season matches during her four years (2007-10) on the team. The Shockers won both the regular-season and tournament titles in 2007, '09 and '10. WSU advanced to the NCAA Championships in each of those three years, defeating South Carolina in the 2007 national tournament. Â The Shockers cracked the national rankings in each of Dalmacio's four years.
During her freshman year, Dalmacio (and her doubles partner, Anna Egorova) was ranked as high as ninth in the nation in doubles. Dalmacio and Damaschin were ranked 55th in the country in doubles at the conclusion of Dalmacio's senior season. Â In the classroom, Dalmacio earned MVC Scholar-Athlete-of-the-Week honors on multiple occasions.
Dalmacio was ranked among the top 10 players in Brazilian Juniors in 2004 and '05. She is a 2011 graduate of Wichita State, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in sports management with a minor in exercise science. Dalmacio earned her Master's degree in sport psychology from Northern Iowa in May of 2016.
