College Tennis Award: Coach Megan Lowery Haber
The USTA Southern California community gathered on February 5, 2026 at the Long Beach Marriott to celebrate individuals, families, and organizations whose extraordinary and diverse contributions were driving forces in growing the game across Southern California in 2025.
Coach Megan Lowery Haber, a San Diego native and head women's tennis coach at Grossmont College since 1999, has built one of the most successful community college programs in California's history. Megan is deeply committed to athlete development both on and off the court. A trusted mentor, she supports student-athletes, preparing them to transfer successfully to four-year universities. She shares, "Each year presents an opportunity to work with new athletes. It is very rewarding to see these women advance to greater levels, both academically and athletically." Megan maintains a strong connection with many of her former players and is often invited to celebrate life milestones long after their college playing days are over. (source, USTASOCAL.COM).
