In 2008, Sacramento State posted a 15-8 overall record and an 8-0 mark in the Big Sky. Four Hornets earned all-conference honors, including sophomore Anton Stryhas being named the league's MVP. In his first year as a full-time assistant in 2007, the Hornets’ 20-6 record was the team’s best mark in six years, and the team won the Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament crowns for the first time since 2003. In addition, freshmen Xavier Barajas-Smith and Anton Stryhas (first team), and senior Gabriel Loredo (second team) were each named to the Big Sky all-conference team. Upon his arrival to the Hornets as a volunteer assistant in the spring of 2006, he helped coach the team to a 12-11 overall record and a share of the Big Sky Conference’s regular season title (5-1 record).     Prior to his arrival at Sacramento State, Kurtz was an assistant at American River College (2002-04) where he helped guide the team to a conference championship and a top 10 ranking in the state of California in both 2003 and 2004.     At the high school level, Kurtz was the head varsity tennis coach at both Jesuit High School (1994-05) in Carmichael, Calif., and Loretto High School (2002-05) in Sacramento.     At Jesuit, he coached the team to 11 consecutive league titles and eight section championships.
