After leading UW-Stevens Point to its best season in
school history and earning NCAA Division III national coach
of the year honors, UW-Stevens Point women’s golf coach Matt
Interbartolo begins his third season with the Pointers.
Interbartolo has taken the Pointers' program to
unprecedented levels, culminating in his national award
presented by the National Golf Coaches Association of
America. Interbartolo received the award at the 2007 NCAA
Division III championships in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. where
two UW-Stevens Point individuals competed in the national
meet for the first time in school history.
Under Interbartolo’s guidance, the Pointers achieved their
highest national ranking in school history at No. 8 in the
spring of 2007. He also helped the Pointers earn their
first-ever multiple-school invitational titles – a feat
accomplished four times during the 2006-07 season.
In Interbartolo’s two seasons, the Pointers lowered their
stroke average by over 34 strokes. The team averaged 331.7
during the 2006-07 campaign after shooting 341.5 during his
first year in 2005-06 and 365.9 prior to his arrival in
2004-05. For his efforts, Interbartolo was also recognized
as the 2006-07 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
Coach of the Year.
The Pointers finished either first or second in eight of
their 12 meets during 2006-07 and have been among the top
eight finishers in every meet during his two seasons. The
Pointers capped the 2005-06 season with a No. 20 ranking in
the final National Golf Coaches Association NCAA Division
III poll.
Interbartolo, a former All-American hockey player and
current assistant coach with the UW-Stevens Point men’s
hockey team, was an assistant golf professional at Tree
Acres Golf Course in Plover for three years and was also a
four-year letterwinner at De La Salle High School in
Toronto, Ont.
Interbartolo was a second-team All-American in hockey in
1997 and earned first-team All-Northern Collegiate Hockey
Association honors in 1997 and 2001. He led the league in
assists as a senior and is the only player in school history
to record more assists than games played. He coached the
Portage County Youth on Ice high school “B” team six years
and has spent five seasons behind the bench with the
UW-Stevens Point men’s hockey team.
Interbartolo and his wife, Melissa, have three children.
