Dan Munsey became Wheaton's Head Coach for both the Men's and Women's programs during the 2021-22 campaign and served in both roles through the 2024-25 campaign. In August of 2025, he was named Director of Tennis and remained in his role as Head Women's Tennnis Coach.
In just his first year with Wheaton, Munsey directed the men's team to a New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference playoff berth and scored a victory in the NEWMAC Quarterfinals on the Lyons' home court. In addition to team success, Munsey also coached a Wheaton player to the NEWMAC All-Conference Singles Team. In 2023-24, the Lyons posted their highest overall win total since the 2018-19 campaign. During his tenure in Norton, Munsey has seen his players recognized by the New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference with a degree of frequency with six weekly awards in just three seasons.
The Wheaton's mentor has seen success on the women's side as well, leading the Lyons to the NEWMAC Quarterfinals in his first campaign and directing them to a 9-9 record last season for the team's highest win count since the 2017-18 season. Under his tutelage, Wheaton also boasted its first NEWMAC Singles Player of the Week since 2019.
Munsey is extremely familiar to the New England tennis scene, having served as the Head Coach at Clark University, Assumption College and Emerson College in addition to initial coaching experience with Wellesley College.
Improvement, progress and success has been the hallmark of Munsey’s coaching career, overseeing an increase in win totals and rise in position in the league standings at every school that he’s coached at.
A graduate of and three-time All-Conference selection at Colby-Sawyer College, Munsey was named the Northeast-10 Women’s Tennis Coach of the Year in 2015 after seeing Assumption College improve its position in the standings four years in a row under his guidance. His time in Worcester culminated in 2015 with a spot in the NE-10 Tournament Quarterfinals, a 9-6 mark, including a school-record for conference wins (8-4) and five players named to the All-Conference squad. Munsey experienced similar success with the men’s team, taking a program that had previously been disbanded and directing it to a playoff berth in both of his campaigns with the Greyhounds. He also saw seven players earn All-Conference accolades under his tutelage.
A two-season stint at New England Women’s & Men’s Athletic Conference rival Emerson College produced more eye-opening results with unprecedented success in the program’s recent history. He inherited a women’s team that had not won a match in three years and completely turned the program’s fortunes around with six victories in just his first campaign. He followed that season with the program’s first two NEWMAC wins in five years. Munsey worked his magic with the men’s program as well, tripling the team’s win total.
Munsey made his first Head Coaching stop a historic one, guiding NEWMAC member Clark University’s women’s team to its highest win total in 19 years, while ending a conference losing streak that had spanned 11 seasons for the Cougars.
In addition to his New England coaching stints, Munsey broke into the college coaching ranks with Division I Wright State University as an Assistant Coach, where the men’s team flipped it’s 2008 record of 5-18 to 15-9 in 2009. The women’s team also experienced marked success during Munsey’s tenure, increasing its win count three-fold.
Following his graduation from Colby-Sawyer with a degree in Sport Management, Munsey was tapped the Head Coach of the Hanover High School Varsity Boys team and led his charges to a perfect 17-0 record and a New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association State Championship.
Most recently, Munsey has served as the Director of High Performance at the Winchester Indoor Tennis Center for the past four years.
