Waukesha, Wis. - Carroll University's Al Pruefer is retiring from coaching, Pioneers athletic director Kris Jacobsen announced today.

 Pruefer has coached in the Carroll athletic department for the last eight years, as an assistant men's basketball coach from 2002-2009 and as the head women's tennis coach from 2003-2009.

Over the past seven seasons, Pruefer's tennis teams have amassed a regular-season record of 61-28-1. Three times, he led the program to the four-team Midwest Conference Women's Tennis Team Championship Tournament - in 2003, 2004 and 2007 - and finished third in 2007 after knocking off Lake Forest College in the third-place match.

 Pruefer's 2007 squad finished the regular season with a record of 11-2, the program's best since joining the Midwest Conference in 1992. During that season, one of Pruefer's standout performers, Samantha Bachmann, finished the regular season with a perfect 13-0 record, the best individual season on record in Carroll history.
