Lauren Almy begins her fourth season volunteering with the Union College men's and women's tennis teams in 2025-26.
Almy was part of the Liberty League Women's Tennis Co-Coaching Staff of the Year in 2023-24 after guiding Union to the best season in program history, winning a program-record 11 matches and earning the program's first postseason victory since 2003 with a thrilling 5-4 win over St. Lawrence in the first round of the Liberty League Tournament. The team, which started six first-years or sophomores on a consistent basis, also earned the first ITA national ranking in program history and was listed in every NCAA regional ranking during the spring season. In addition, the men's tennis doubles tandem of Ben Jacobs and Dimitris Binopoulos ended the season regionally ranked by the NCAA, while Jacobs finished "in consideration" for a regional ranking in singles play.
In her first season with the program in 2022-23, both men's and women's teams qualified for the Liberty League Tournament. The women's team matched the program record for wins in a season with nine while posting a 5-3 record in Liberty League play to earn the program's highest-ever conference finish, while the men's team qualified for the postseason for the third straight full season and finished one win shy of the program record of eight set back in 1974.
In addition to her work with the tennis program, Almy previously served as the Department of Athletics' administrative coordinator from 2022-25.
