Guilherme Plentz de Liz joins the Redhawks coaching staff after completing his playing career in the spring. A graduate of Colegio Catarinense, Gui is majoring in Marketing at Roberts Wesleyan and will graduate in December. In Brazil, Gui was ranked third in his state and was in the top 100 in the nation. Plentz de Liz originally attended Nebraska Wesleyan College, where he played second singles and first doubles for the Prairie Wolves who are members of the NAIA. Plentz went 12-7 overall in singles action and 10-8 in doubles. He also helped his team advance to the Great Plains Athletic Conference final and earned the team's lone point in doubles action in a 5-1 loss. Gui transferred to Roberts in the spring of 2014. Over his three seasons with the Redhawks, Gui played primarily fourth singles and second doubles, finishing with a 35-57 record. The Florianopolis, Brazil-native is the son of Ana Isabel Plentz and Moyses de Liz
Coach Linhart comments: "Gui adds much to our team chemistry and was an impact player right away. He is a fine young man and an excellent tennis player. He has been asked to play a variety of positions and has always stepped up to meet any challenge. His value to the team goes well beyond his tennis skills, as indicated in his selection to be Team Captain in his senior year. While complaining his degree, Coach Plentz de Liz also works for Pike Construction Company in the Human Relations Department.”
