    Gille named assistant coach at Wisconsin-Parkside

    SOMERS, Wis. -- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside wrestling program announced the return of three-time All-American Matt Gille, who will serve as an assistant coach with the Rangers for the 2015-2016 season.

    "I'm ecstatic to have Matt return to Parkside and join the coaching staff," said Head Coach Gregg Lewis. "He's an excellent technician of the sport and a great leader who does things the right way both on and off the mat."

    Gille rejoins the Green and White after a two-year stint as a graduate assistant coach at Lindenwood University. While at Lindenwood, Gille helped the Lions tally a pair of top 15 finishes at the NCAA Division II Championships, placing seventh in 2014 and 13th in 2015.

    As a collegian, Gille closed out his Ranger career with a 123-49 record and was a three-time NCAA All-American. The Little Suamico, Wisconsin native established a freshman school record for wins in 2009, racking up 43 on the season, culminating in a seventh place showing at the national championships. Gille followed up his freshman campaign with All-American honors in both 2011 and 2012, placing eighth overall and both occasions. Gille additionally was a NWCA All-Academic honoree and was a three-time team captain.

    Gille owns a bachelor's degree in sport management from UW-Parkside and earned a master's of business administration degree from Lindenwood.
