Dale Campbell took over the helm as the head tennis coach at Saint Mary’s in the 2008-09 school year.

In each seasons of his tenure, Campbell's squads have won at least 10 dual matches while boasting an All-MIAA performer. In 2011, the Belles finished tied for third in the MIAA, marking the team's highest conference finish since 2006. In 2014, the team earned a spot in the top-four only MIAA Tournament for the first time since the conference changed the end of season tournament format in 2011. The Belles have clinched a top-four finish in six consecutive seasons (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019). The 2016 season also saw the program recognized with the first-ever Belle to earn the MIAA's Karen Caine Scholar-Athlete Award recipient in Andrea Fetters '16.

Campbell brings a wealth of experience to the program as he has been teaching tennis for more than 20 years. Certified by the USPTA as a tennis professional in 1988, he served as the Head Tennis Professional at the South Bend Racquet Club and Director of Tennis/Owner of the Lakeland Athletic Club. During his time there, Campbell coached several sectional and nationally ranked players, as well as Division I and professional athletes. He has also served as the Director of Tennis at the Morris Park Country Club in South Bend while also teaching in his spare time.

A 1988 graduate of Central Methodist College, Campbell was a number one singles player for the Eagles. He served as a captain for his college team and was named team MVP.

“Great opportunities are available for the student-athletes here at Saint Mary’s," commented Campbell. "We have the ability here to be one of the top teams and compete on a national level in the near future.”
