Head Coach

Hannah Fetters was named the women's tennis head coach on July 25, 2023, after spending the previous six seasons as the head coach at New Haven (Conn.). 

In her first season as head coach at App State, Fetters helped lead the Mountaineers to their first Sun Belt Tournament title game in program history, a program record-tying 15 wins and a WNIT appearance for the second consecutive season. The Mountaineers hadn't won three matches at the Sun Belt Tournament as a member of the league prior to 2024. 

Fetters guided four players to double-digit wins in singles competition, including two players who won at least 15 games. Under Fetters' tutelage, Savannah Dada-Mascoll won 21 singles matches, which included a 16-match winning streak, leading her to All-Sun Belt first team honors. Dada-Mascoll's 21 wins in singles play was the most by a Mountaineer in the modern era. By season's end, Dada-Mascoll earned a No. 20 ranking from the ITA in the Carolinas Region for singles players. 

In doubles play, the Mountaineers carried a winning percentage over .500 in Fetters' first year with the duo of Taya Powell and Maggie Pate pacing the team with nine doubles wins playing primarily at the No. 2 spot. App State won the doubles point in the Sun Belt Championship match against Old Dominion to take an early 1-0 lead. 

Off the court, Fetters' squad has thrived in the classroom as 90 percent of her student-athletes have garnered Dean's or Chancellor's List recognition and five were named ITA Scholar-Athletes. App State was also named an All-Academic Team by the ITA after earning a 3.49 GPA last spring. 

Fetters led a record-setting turnaround in her six seasons at New Haven, directing the Division II program to its two most successful seasons in recorded program history and advancing to the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs for six consecutive years after the program had not earned a playoff berth in the previous seven.

Inheriting a program that had not posted a double-digit win season in recorded history, Fetters immediately led the Chargers to 10 wins in her inaugural season in 2017-18, followed by 12 wins in 2018-19, 10 in 2021-22, and a program-record 14 last year.

The 2022-23 campaign saw New Haven rack up a 14-8 final record and earn a top-seven regional ranking for the first time in program history. The team also featured a top-50 nationally ranked doubles team.

Fetters coached 11 different players to all-conference accolades, including NE10 Rookie of the Year accolades presented to Stephanie Gonzalez following the fall 2017 campaign.

Fetters also led the Chargers to first two wins over Division I opponents, as they took down Providence in 2021 and Holy Cross in 2022.

Fetters came to New Haven following two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Southwest Minnesota State University (2105-16 and 2016-17), where she helped lead the Mustangs to double their win total in 2017, including a 9-0 sweep of Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference rival Minnesota Crookston.

While at Southwest Minnesota State, she earned her master's degree in physical education, coaching of sport in May 2017. 

Fetters was a four-year tennis standout at Huntingdon College (Ala.) where she was one of just two players in the program's NCAA era to win at least 100 career matches. For her career, Fetters combined for a 116-46 record with a 62-19 mark in singles play and a 54-27 record in double action. She was a four-time all-conference selection, twice each in the Great South Athletic Conference and the USA South Athletic Conference, and was a part of two conference runner-up teams in the GSAC. She also competed in cross country as a freshman and served as the Vice President for the Hawks Student-Athlete Advisory Council. Fetters graduated from Huntingdon in May 2015 with her bachelor's degree in athletic training.

A native of Wesley Chapel, Fla., Fetters and her husband, Cory, have a son, Finn.
