Wichita State head women's tennis coach Colin Foster has hired Joelle Kissell as his new assistant coach.
The former NC State standout brings five years of collegiate coaching experience, most recently at West Virginia where she spent the 2021-22 season as the Mountaineers' volunteer assistant.
"We are excited to welcome Joelle to our program," Foster said. "It was clear during the search process that her and my values align. Joelle is passionate about developing leaders and champions – on an off the court -- and preparing student-athletes for life after graduation. She was a very accomplished collegiate and professional athlete and will be able to share those experiences with our players. She has also coached at several different levels in and out of college tennis and made a positive impact at each stop."
Before arriving at West Virginia, Kissell worked three seasons (2018-21) as the assistant coach at Seton Hill University, an NCAA Division II school in Greensburg, Pa., and another as volunteer assistant at Western Carolina (2014-15).
