Dave Engle served Wittenberg University as head men's tennis coach from 1998-2006 and head women's tennis coach from 1997-2006. He brought tremendous experience to his role and great enthusiasm to build a program with the Albright Tennis Complex, one of the finest small-college tennis facilities in the country. He retired from the position following the 2006 season to focus more time and attention on his family and his duties as executive director of the Ohio Valley Tennis Association.

On the men's side, Engle's career record was 108-74. In five outstanding seasons with the North Coast Athletic Conference split into East and West divisions, the Tigers lost just five regular season conference matches.

For the women, Engle's record was 93-106, including a record of 31-36 in North Coast Athletic Conference regular season matches. His teams made steady improvement, posting double-digit victory totals in each of the last seven seasons, including one of the best records in school history in 2005 at 13-5 overall.

A longtime resident of the Springfield area, Engle was a teacher and coach at Shawnee High School from 1972-99. This was his second tour of duty at Wittenberg after serving as an assistant men's basketball coach to Larry Hunter for three years from 1984-86. He then became head boys' basketball coach at Shawnee, a position he held for six years. Engle was boys' tennis coach for six years and girls' tennis coach for seven years at Shawnee.
