"Alex will bring an energy, excitement and a focus to our program, from which she will lead us to success on and off the court," Barbour told GoPSUSports. "She has demonstrated the ability to create high achievement at every level of the game of tennis; collegiately as a player, in the professional ranks and as a collegiate assistant coach.
