Just six years after graduating from Baylor, Georgia State women’s tennis head coach Alex Leatu has returned to her alma mater. Her Panthers will take on the Bears Friday evening in what will be both teams’ first match of the season.

After playing for Baylor from 2012 to 2014, Leatu is excited to be back and coaching against her former mentor.

“To coach against [Baylor head coach Joey Scrivano] is a special moment,” Leatu said. “We’ve been through a lot together and he’s been with me through some major moments in my life.
