MIAMI SHORES, Fla.- Yeffrens Lopez resigned as the women's tennis assistant coach to take the assistant coaching position for men's and women's tennis at West Alabama in Livingston, Ala.

"We're very proud of Yeffrens and happy for him in this new opportunity," Barry University director of tennis Avi Kigel said. "He's been an invaluable part of our program, helping us reach unprecedented heights. He will certainly be missed."

Lopez has been a part of the women's tennis program for over 11 years, helping the team win nine Sunshine State Conference tournament titles, eight regular season championships, six ITA Indoor titles and seven NCAA Divsion II national championships. He helped mentor 30 ITA All-Americans, including three-time national player of the year, Deniz Khazan, and 87 scholar and Academic All-Americans. 

The Tigers, under head coach Jeff Beaman, are coming off a 15-8 campaign that saw them finish third in the Gulf South Conference and advance to the NCAA Regional for the sixth straight year.
