"We are excited to welcome Natalie back home to Butler to lead our women's tennis program," said Butler Vice President and Director of Athletics Grant Leiendecker. "Not only is she one of the most accomplished student-athletes in program history, her experience since graduation has been focused extensively on coaching and mentoring. Her leadership, competitiveness and ability to build genuine relationships will serve Butler, our program and our student-athletes extremely well."

Boesing most recently worked as a sports performance coach at the University of Louisville.

Throughout her time as a student-athlete at Butler and in the years after, Boesing has also instructed both youth and adult tennis players in the private sector.

"Being back at Butler and part of this incredible team is a dream come true," said Boesing. "Hinkle Magic is real, and there's no better place to call home. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead the Butler Women's Tennis program and represent Butler University with pride. I can't wait to get to work with our student-athletes and build something special together. Go Dawgs!"
