Heuser Named Assistant Head Coach

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Megan Heuser has been named assistant coach for the University of Iowa women’s tennis program, head coach Sasha Boros announced on Tuesday.

Heuser joins the Hawkeyes from the University of Illinois-Chicago, where she served as an assistant women’s tennis coach after competing professionally on the WTA tour in both singles and doubles.

“I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to join the University of Iowa Women’s Tennis program. After spending the past year pursuing professional tennis, I am so excited to bring my experiences as both a collegiate and professional athlete into coaching and share everything I have learned throughout my journey. I am incredibly grateful to Coach Sasha and the University of Iowa for this opportunity. Can’t wait to get started and begin contributing to the success of the program,” Heuser said. “Go Hawks!”

A Lindenhurst, Illinois, native, Heuser played four seasons at the University of Illinois (2021-25) was a NCAA doubles All-American and two-time All-Big Ten honoree. In 2023, Heuser and Kate Duong reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championships.

She graduated from Illinois with a degree in interdisciplinary health sciences.

“I recruited Megan to be a Hawkeye six years ago, so it’s especially meaningful to welcome her to Iowa City now as a coach,” Boros said. “I remember the enthusiasm and competitive spirit she brought to the recruiting process, and I’m thrilled she’ll bring that same energy to our team. Megan has competed at the highest level of college tennis, and she knows firsthand what it takes to win in the Big Ten. She has so much to share with our players about how to prepare, compete and keep getting better. She’ll be a fantastic addition to our coaching staff.”
