Noëlle Vahanian became the Head Coach of the Lebanon Valley College women's tennis team before the start of the 2023-24 season. She is the fourth Head Coach in the program's 31-year history.
Vahanian has led the Dutchmen to the postseason during each campaign of her tenure as the Head Coach. After beginning the season with a 13-match unbeaten streak and coaching the program to its first-ever national ranking, she guided Lebanon Valley to the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom Semifinal during her first season at the helm in 2024. In 2025, Vahanian helped LVC reach the MAC Freedom Final. She has coached seven All-MAC Freedom Team selections with the Flying Dutchmen.
Vahanian, also an LVC Professor of Philosophy, is a volunteer instructor for the Lebanon Valley CTA and holds a junior tennis instruction certification from the Professional Tennis Registry. She is an active competitor on the tennis courts and has captained several 18+ and 40+ USTA Summer League teams since 2019. In 2023, she qualified for and played in the NTRP National Championships at the 3.5 level at the USTA National Tennis Center in Orlando, Florida.
She took over a program that went 17-4 the previous spring and won the program's first NCAA Tournament match after sweeping through the conference schedule for the second consecutive year to win the program's fourth conference title. The Dutchmen transitioned to the Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom section during her first year as the Head Coach.
Vahanian has also volunteered for the United States Tennis Association. She served on the USTA Central Penn District Grants and Sponsorship Committee from 2020 to 2022, on the Middle States Community Tennis Committee from 2021 to 2022, and on the Central Penn District Junior Programming Committee from 2023 to 2024.
