Peter MacDonald enters his fifth season as the head men's tennis coach at Gonzaga University in 2009-10.

Under MacDonald's guidance, the Bulldogs have consistently improved both on the court and in the classroom. Last season MacDonald led the Zags to another 10-win season, marking the second time the Zags have reached that 10-win plateau in the past three years. During MacDonald's tenure seven Bulldogs have garnered All-WCC accolades and five others have received West Coast Conference All-Academic honors.

In 2009, MacDonald had a pair of freshmen each finish the season with double-digit wins in singles play for the first time in his tenure at Gonzaga. Gonzaga closed out the season with a win over Santa Clara University on the final day of the WCC Championships. MacDonald continues to produce off the court as well, as two players earned WCC All-Academic honors last season, marking the third consecutive year at least one Zag has received the accolade.

In his first two seasons at Gonzaga, MacDonald increased the team's win total each year before producing an 11-win season in 2007. The 11 victories marked the most wins for the program since it posted 13 wins in 1999. Also in 2007, the Bulldogs were named an ITA All-Academic team, were recipients of the NCAA Public Recognition Award and had six student-athletes named ITA Scholar-Athletes. All three accolades marked program firsts. In 2008, the Bulldogs were named to the ITA All-Academic team for the second consecutive season as MacDonald continued to add to the list of firsts for the Gonzaga men's tennis program. That season a program-best four players earned All-West Coast Conference honors as well as recording the Zags first win at the WCC Championships since 2000.

In October 2009 MacDonald and Gonzaga's head women's tennis coach D.J. Gurule were appointed Co-Directors of the Spokane Racquet Club, the site of both the men's and women's home matches.

MacDonald joined the Gonzaga athletic department after four years as a private coach in Portland, Ore. MacDonald went on to develop a high performance junior program while also organizing and coordinating high-performance clinics for the Pacific Northwest's top tennis players. Through his work as a private instructor, MacDonald has helped coach several players to victory at several national open tournaments in both singles and doubles play. Prior to his work as a private instructor he was a head tennis professional in Gresham, Ore. MacDonald also served as the assistant women's tennis coach at the University of Portland from 1996-98. While at Portland he helped with the technical and strategic development of the players.

MacDonald is a 1996 graduate of the University of Portland, earning his bachelors of science degree in business management.
