Dalmagro Finalizes Husker Women’s Tennis Staff

Maddie Kobelt

Nebraska Women’s Tennis Head Coach German Dalmagro has added Maddie Kobelt to his staff as assistant coach ahead of the 2023-24 season.

 

“I’m very excited to welcome Maddie to the Husker family,” Dalmagro said. “She was a great college tennis player then went on to play on the WTA tour for several years with great results. She is coming with a lot of experience as a player that will help develop our team on and off the court.

 

During her coaching career at Syracuse, they had really good results, and I know her passion, work ethic and coaching philosophy will help us maximize our team potential. We have a talented group that is eager to get to work, and I’m very thankful Maddie believed in my vision and the direction we can take the team. We have a lot of resources at Nebraska and having her on board will help us achieve goals as we strive to make Nebraska great.”

 

Kobelt has spent the last three years as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Syracuse. In 2022-23, Kobelt helped the Orange to a season-high ITA ranking of No. 16. In her time as an athlete at Syracuse, Kobelt was a team captain, played No. 1 singles and doubles, and reached a career-high ITA ranking in doubles of No. 32. Kobelt was also named to the 2013 All-Big East Team and the 2014 All-ACC Second Team.

 

After her college career, Kobelt played professionally and reached career-high ITF rankings of No. 893 in singles and No. 294 in doubles, while earning 12 career professional doubles titles. 

 

Kobelt was an assistant coach at Kenyon College (2018-20), helping lead the team to a No. 11 ITA Division III ranking and two NCAC Conference Championships. She is the sister of Nebraska men’s tennis coach Peter Kobelt.

 

“I would like to thank Head Coach German Dalmagro and Executive Associate AD Keith Zimmer for this amazing opportunity to join the Nebraska family,” Kobelt said. “I am honored to represent the Huskers and excited to start working with Coach Dalmagro and this outstanding group of young women. Nebraska’s commitment to excellence and incredible support of their student athletes are unmatched. The possibilities are endless for what this team can achieve.”
