Troy Haas enters his third season as the head coach of the women's tennis program in 2025-26.
In his second season as head coach, Haas was named PSAC East Coach of the Year after leading the Warriors to a PSAC quarterfinal appearance for the first time since 2017-18 and a semifinal berth for the first time since 1979-80. The team also broke the program’s single-season wins record with 18 victories. Under his leadership, ESU earned three PSAC East First Team selections, singles: Marketa Beladova and Lea Stefanovic; doubles: Marketa Beladova and Louise Boyer-Vidal. Beladova was named PSAC East Athlete of the Year, while Ariel Kelsick earned Freshman of the Year honors, and broke the program’s single season wins record. The Warriors ended the season eighth in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Atlantic regional rankings.
ESU made strides in the first season under Haas as the Warriors earned their first victory since October 14, 2015 with a 9-0 win over Cedar Crest. Back on March 25, graduate student Alessia Bianchini was tabbed as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Athlete of the Week.
Haas comes to the Poconos after serving as the assistant racquets director for the last five years at Lehigh Country Club where he coached tennis, platform tennis and pickleball for junior high school and adult players.
Prior to that, Haas was an assistant coach for the men's and women's tennis teams at King's College for a pair of seasons. He helped the men's squad reach the MAC Freedom Championship in the spring of 2018 and earn a trio of First Team All-MAC selections. On the women's side, Haas coached the MAC Rookie of the Year in Emily Fernandez, who went on to win with the 2018 MAC Women's Tennis Individual championship in the No. 1 singles bracket. Additionally, the women's team had two First Team All-MAC selections.
As a student-athlete at Wilkes, Haas was a three-time Second Team All-MAC Freedom selection and helped the Colonels win the MAC Freedom Conference championship all four years. He compiled a 66-19 record in singles and 60-5 mark in doubles. Haas earned All-Academic honors from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and helped Wilkes earn their first ITA ranking in program history.
Haas graduated from Wilkes in 2017 with a Bachelor of Business Administration as double major in business management and sport & event management.
