Historical note

Iowa State Women's Tennis began varsity play in the 1973-1974 season. From 1984 to 1983, Women's Tennis shared a head coach with the Men's Tennis team. This was discontinued as a result of poor finishes amongst league competition. The program competed in the Big Eight Conference before the formation of the Big Twelve Conference (1996).

Head coaches:

  • Dawn McDonald (1973-1975)
  • Linda Lander (1975-1978)
  • Christa Townsend (1978-1983)
  • Jim Doerr (1983-1986)
  • Jay Louderback (1987-1989)
  • Mike Henrich (1989-1991)
  • Michele Conlon (1991-2008)
  • Armando Espinosa (2008- present)
