Albany State Names Head Tennis Coach

An Albany native, Martha Humber, 34, will direct the newly-formed six-member tennis team, which will play its first match on Feb. 19. Humber is currently a senior account manager at Alltel Communications, Inc.

Humber, who has organized United States Tennis Association (USTA) Volvo Team Leagues for the past 10 years, said she is excited about the opportunity to guide ASU's tennis program."It seems that I have played tennis all my life. I love the sport and have a deep appreciation for tennis," Humber said. "I am thrilled to have been selected to coach the women's team. Albany State has been without a tennis team since the mid 1980s, so it will be challenging to bring back a tradition to Albany State."
