"Thrilled to be a part of the St. Mary's community! Thank you to the search committee for showing me that we have unique distinctions that make us a special destination," Corbett expressed.

Excited to provide the excellent experience that our student-athletes truly deserve. Thank you for welcoming me and go Seahawks!"
 
The Charlottesville, Va., native orchestrated dramatic turnarounds for both Maryville tennis programs during his tenure.
 
Corbett guided the Scot men to a 12-7 record in 2025-26 for their first winning season, posting a six-match improvement after going 3-10 in his first season (2021-22). He was named the 2025-26 CCS Men's Tennis Coach of the Year after leading the men to the semifinals of the 2026 CCS Tournament as the No. 3 seed.
 
He coached four all-conference players at Maryville as well as the 2025-26 CCS Men's Tennis Rookie of the Year. Corbett tallied a five-year record of 36-53 (12-18 in conference play) as the Scots' skipper.
 
On the women's side, Corbett registered a five-year log of 43-44 (22-13 in league action) as the Maryville leader. He mentored seven all-league players, including the 2023-24 CCS Women's Tennis Rookie of the Year. The Scot women turned in a 4.5-match improvement from 2021-22 (4-10) to 2023-24 (12-9). The 12 wins marked the most wins since a 10-5 record in 2012-13.
