University of North Carolina women’s tennis and head coach Brian Kalbas announced Elizabeth Scotty as assistant coach in September 2025. Scotty, former Tar Heel and National Champion, returned to Carolina after spending the 2024-25 season as assistant coach with the Tennessee women’s tennis program. In her time at Tennessee, Scotty helped guide the Vols to a 20-8 overall record and 10-5 in SEC play. Tennessee wrapped up the 2024-2025 season ranked no. 10 after reaching the NCAA Championship Quarterfinals. Scotty and the Vols’ coaching staff also helped coach Elza Tomase to All-America and Honda Award Finalist honors. Prior to her coaching career, Scotty competed on the UNC women’s tennis team for five seasons. The Annapolis, Md. native compiled a 93-14 singles and 136-29 doubles record. Scotty had one of the most decorated careers as a Tar Heel in recent years. An eight-time national champion, Scotty left her mark on the Carolina program. The former Tar Heel looks to continue growing the program in this new role as assistant coach.

Tyler Thomson, a former head coach with nearly two decades of experience at the Division I level, finished his sixth year as associate head coach of the North Carolina women’s tennis program in 2024-25. Thomson served as head coach at the University of Minnesota for 11 seasons between 2001-12 and William & Mary for six seasons from 2013-18. Thomson’s six seasons in Chapel Hill have been full of victories and historic moments for the program. Carolina has recorded an 195-16 record in dual matches and a 81-3 mark against the Atlantic Coast Conference since Thomson arrived in Chapel Hill. Additionally, the Tar Heels have won its first NCAA championship and its fourth ITA National Team Indoor Championships and a trio of ACC Championships. Following the 2024 season, Thomson was named the Carolina Region’s Assistant Coach of the Year. In his first season of 2018-19, the Tar Heels won their fourth-consecutive ACC Championship, advanced to the NCAA Team Championship semifinals as the No. 2 seed and spent seven weeks at No. 1 in the ITA national polls before settling at No. 3 in the final poll of the season. His influence on Carolina’s doubles play was evident throughout the year. Four players earned All-America honors and two tandems finished top-10 in the final rankings. As a team, UNC won the doubles point in 31 of 33 duals. Year two was just as good in 2019-20. Though the season was cut short in mid March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UNC again reached No. 1 in the national rankin
