Medvene-Collins hired as tennis aide
Iowa head women's tennis coach Katie Dougherty announced Wednesday Jesse Medvene-Collins will join the Hawkeyes as an assistant coach.
He previously worked as the head coach at Mills College.
"I'm thrilled for the opportunity to work with Coach Dougherty, and I'm very excited to get started working with the student-athletes at the University of Iowa," Medvene-Collins said in a release Wednesday. "It's a very exciting time for the women's tennis program."
Medvene-Collins' previous coaching experience includes being an assistant at Wake Forest. He helped the Demon Deacons to three-straight top-25 national rankings from 2005-07.
"Jesse is an outstanding addition to the Iowa women's tennis program," Dougherty said in a release Wednesday. "He brings a wealth of experience recruiting and developing high-level student-athletes."
Medvene-Collins replaces Mira Radu, who will be the team's volunteer assistant while she works on a master's degree at Iowa.
