Louisiana Tech Tennis head coach Amy Sargeant announced the hiring of Ilana Tetruashvili as an assistant coach.

Tetruashvili will transition over to the coaching side after spending five seasons on the court for the Bulldogs where she ended her career with 53 dual singles victories, the second most in program history, as well as 40 dual doubles wins, tied for the eighth most in school history.

In her final season as a player at LA Tech, she tallied an 11-2 dual singles record, providing the clinching point five times. She closed the spring on a seven-match winning streak including marquee wins over Toledo and Stetson.

The 2022 season was arguably her best year, registering a team-best 17-5 dual singles record. The 17 wins tied for the fifth most in program history and the most since 2012. She went on to being named Second Team All-Louisiana, a season after earning All-Louisiana Honorable Mention honors.

Tetruashvili was a four-time CUSA Commissioner's Honor Roll recipient, a CUSA Academic Medalist, and an ITA Scholar-Athlete.

She came to Ruston from Tel Aviv, Israel.
