FARMINGTON, Utah (May 8, 2023) – Weber State's RuthAnn Allen was named the 2023 Big Sky Women's Tennis Coach of the Year on Monday as voted on by the league's head coaches.
The honor for Allen marks back-to-back seasons she has won Coach of the Year, as she becomes the first Weber State coach to achieve the feat since Keith Cox won the award in 1993 and 1994.
Allen and the Wildcats won the conference tournament championship for the first time since 2000 as a program, following their 4-2 upset of Northern Arizona. The Wildcats had finished runner-up to the Lumberjacks the previous two seasons before getting over the hump in 2023. Overall, the Wildcats posted a 12-9 record on the year and went 6-2 in league play. Weber State fell to No. 7 Stanford in the opening round of the NCAA Women's Tennis Championship this past weekend.
