Ryan Bean takes over as women’s tennis assistant coach
Paula Miller has been at the forefront of the Quinnipiac tennis program for 21 years – both men’s and women’s. This year, she’s getting some extra help.
Miller, the women’s tennis head coach since 2014 and an assistant on the men’s and women’s side for the 17 years prior to that, currently serves as director of tennis in addition to her coaching duties. That’s a load to handle. This season, after employing a part-time women’s assistant coach, Miller has brought in her first full-timer – Ryan Bean.
“One of the things I like about working here in particular is that I went here,” Bean said. “I know what it’s like to be a student athlete here. I love Quinnipiac – I met my wife here. The tennis program here – we were a family when I attended – and that’s something that’s just special to my heart.”
