University of Montevallo recently added
its nineteenth intercollegiate sport after
reinstating the Men’s Tennis Program.
The program began initially in 1959
but was discontinued after twenty one years
of history, in 1980. The program won three
championships in 1964, 1966 and 1970
going undefeated in 1966.

“This is very
exciting. We had great history
in this sport and now we get
another opportunity” says Albersten. Reinstatement of the program was in the
works since Albersten was hired two and a half years ago. “My first day on campus President Stewart mentioned to me about bringing
back the men’s program one day.”

Despite challenges Albertsen will face he isexcited for the opportunity. “It’s twice the
recruiting and scheduling but I’m looking forward
to it.” Montevallo received a recent upgrade in the
current tennis facilities just in time for the Men’s
program. Recruiting is now in full force for the
new program to start in 2018.
