Hempstead, NY – Hofstra University head coach Richard Sipala today announced the discontinuation of Ariel Shuren as an assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s programs.

Shuren joined Hofstra after spending time as an assistant coach at St. John’s women’s tennis program. Before that, she was a volunteer assistant trainer at Rutgers University.

“I’m happy to have Arielle at Hofstra,” said coach Sipala. “She is an accomplished player and an excellent coach. I look forward to her work with our student-athletes.”
