When former coach Chris Cagle announced his resignation earlier in the summer for family reasons, it was at a rather awkward time.
But the Penn State women’s tennis program was able to retain some stability.
Instead of recruiting a new coach to lead the program, Penn State decided to look internally and promote assistant coach Alexandra Anghelescu to be the new head coach.
Anghelescu has been with the program for only one year, but it’s enough of a head start that it could benefit the team.
“Being here as the assistant, I kind of view it as being in the back seat,” Anghelescu said.
