PRINCETON - Women's tennis head coach Megan Bradley has announced Luana Magnani, a 2006 graduate of Southern California, as the Cornelia Drake and John Van Ryn Jr. '28 assistant coach.
Magnani replaces Amanda Rales, who was Bradley's first assistant coach after taking the program's lead a year ago.
"I am very excited to welcome Luana to Princeton," Bradley said. "She was a successful and well-respected college player and I know she is going to make a great college coach. Her enthusiasm and attitude will make her a real asset to our program. I know she will be an excellent role model for our student-athletes and I'm sure she will help us take the program to the next level."
Magnani was a top-16 player nationally while at USC and was at the top of the Trojans' ladder in both singles and doubles. USC advanced to the NCAA Round of 16 every year with Magnani on the team, including an appearance in the national semifinal her senior year.
Prior to USC, Magnani was a top-five nationally ranked junior player. Since graduation, she has coached at the high school level and at two tennis clubs in Southern California.
Magnani is a native of Pasadena, Calif.
