Head coach Pete Smith is in his fourth season as head coach of the Bears.

A 1991 graduate of Ursinus, Smith continues to set new benchmarks for the men’s tennis program. In 2010, the Bears achieved their first ten win season since 1985. Smith was also named Coach of the Year in the Centennial Conference by his peers. 

During his time at Ursinus, Smith was no stranger to men's tennis, as while a member of the team he won the 1990 Middle Atlantic Conference Singles Championship and earned more than 50 wins as a singles player.

His athletic talents were not limited to the tennis court, as Smith also excelled as a member of the football and basketball squads. In basketball, Smith ranks sixth all-time in scoring with 1,443 points.

On the gridiron, Smith served as the punter for his senior season.

Aside from coaching, Smith also serves his alma mater as a member of the Hall of Fame committee. He is also the Commissioner of men's tennis for the Centennial Conference.

"We are going to be young but we have a very talented and enthusiastic group," said Smith. "I am very hopeful that we can build on the success we had last year and continue to move this program forward.

"It is an exciting time for the Ursinus men's tennis program."

Smith lives in King of Prussia with his wife Kimberly, who is a 1986 graduate of Ursinus, and his five-year old daughter Olivia.
