Torrie Browning has been named head coach of the women’s tennis program, athletic director Patrick Nero announced Wednesday.

Browning, who has served as interim head coach for both men’s and women’s teams since February, will look to improve a squad that finished 8-14 overall and 4-5 in A-10 play last season.

“It is an honor and a privilege to be selected as the head coach of GW’s women’s tennis program,” Browning said in a release. “I would really like to thank Patrick Nero and Nicole Early for giving me this amazing opportunity. The team has great potential, and I am extremely excited to continue working with the women’s team.”

The former four-time Missouri Valley All-Conference selection at Wichita State helped lead the men’s program to its third consecutive Atlantic 10 title, and fifth in six years, last spring to earn the conference’s Coach of the Year award.

The women’s side upset No. 2 seed Massachusetts as a No. 7 seed in last year’s A-10 tournament under Browning, before bowing out in the semifinal round.

Eight-student athletes across both teams also earned All-Conference honors in 2016 with Browning at the helm.

“Torrie has proven her ability to lead GW tennis to success,” Nero said. “We are confident that she will continue to shape GW women’s tennis into one of the top programs in the conference as head coach.”

A new head coach for the men’s tennis program has yet to be announced.
