He coached three Racers who went undefeated during the conference season, including Erin Patton who went undefeated during the regular season.  "My immediate priority was doing everything I could to ensure this group of talented young ladies doesn't miss a beat as they prepare to defend their OVC championship," said Director of Athletics  .  "Jorge provides us with the stability, familiarity and skill set necessary to make this year as memorable as the last."   Caetano is no stranger to Racers tennis as the Niteroi, Brazil native was a four-year letter winner for Murray State from 2009-12. He amassed 21 singles wins and 24 doubles wins during his career and played his senior season at No. 1 in both singles and doubles.

"Being a coach has always been my goal and I've enjoyed my time as assistant coach, but now I am looking forward to working with this team as the head coach. Coach Elkin left us with a talented squad and they're ready to defend their OVC title and to improve on it."
