Former Spartan, Alejandra Guerra, has been named as graduate
assistant coach for the women’s tennis program, as announced
by head coach, Jeff Trivette.
“We are very lucky to have Ale come back to our
program,” said Trivette. “She is arguably, one of the
best tennis players ever to put on a Spartan uniform. She has a
high level of experience at the college and pro levels that will be
invaluable to our kids in our practices and matches. I am most
excited about is that we have a former student-athlete returning to
our program, who wants to invest her time and energy into the
success of UNCG tennis.”
Guerra contributed to the Spartans as a player from 2007 to 2009.
She was named Southern Conference Player of the Year in 2008.
Guerra was a two-time First Team All SoCon selection in singles and
doubles in 2008-2009. She placed as high as No. 38 in singles and
No. 12 in doubles in the ITA national rankings.
In 2008, Guerra went 18-2 in singles and ended the season with a
perfect record of 9-0 in SoCon matches. She followed that season
with 29-8 record in singles and a 9-1 ledger in the SoCon in
2009.
The Tampico, Mexico native ended her career with 47 victories in
singles and a total of 37 double wins. She held the record of most
wins in a season with 29 until last year when Niltooli Wilkins
broke the record with 30 wins.
Guerra is pursuing her Master’s degree in Liberal Arts
and is expected to graduate in 2015.
