Haworth enters his fourth year as head coach of the men’s and women’s tennis program at Eastern Washington University.

In 2009, Haworth coached the men’s team to a 7-14 overall record and 3-5 mark in conference play, which included an impressive 5-2 victory over Weber State, who was ranked No. 1 in the conference at the time. The Eagles also collected a significant non-conference win, when it defeated Gonzaga 6-1 on March 4.

Also highlighting the 2009 season was Nico Riego de Dios, who, under the tutelage of Haworth, was selected to the All-Big Sky Second Team after recording a 6-9 overall singles record and 10-7 mark in doubles play.

After being named head coach at Eastern in 2008, Haworth wasted little time in making an impact at EWU, as he earned Big Sky Conference Men's Coach of the Year accolades in his first season at the helm of the Eagle tennis squads.

That year, the men’s team won the first-ever Big Sky title for Eastern Washington in the sport of tennis after a pair of dramatic 4-3 comeback wins at the championship event, including a victory over host and regular-season champion Sacramento State in the title contest.

The men also set four school records during the 2008 season, which had dated back to 1984, when EWU joined the NCAA Division I ranks. These records included wins (18), Big Sky victories (7), winning percentage (.720) and winning streak (9 - from Feb. 2 - March 8).

The women's squad had its own historic season, winning its first postseason match since 1994 to snap a 29-match losing streak in postseason contests. That convincing 4-0 win over Montana was also Eastern's 10th of the year, the most EWU has earned since the 1993 squad went 10-8.

Under his tutelage, five Eagles earned All-Big Sky honors. Three men were named to the first team, one earned honorable mention accolades and a pair of women attained second team honors.

The three players named to the men's first team nearly doubled Eastern's all-time total, bringing it to seven. Meanwhile, the two women's honorees became just the sixth and seventh in Eagle women's history.

In 2007, Haworth served as assistant coach for a pair of teams that earned their first-ever winning records in Big Sky play, as the men went 5-2, and the women were 4-3.

The men snapped a 40-match postseason losing streak with its first-ever win in postseason competition since joining Division I, defeating Weber State 4-0 in the Big Sky quarterfinals that year. The team then made it two straight with another 4-0 win, that one coming over Montana, to move into the championship contest.

Haworth arrived at Eastern Washington in 2006 with plenty of tennis coaching experience.

Before commencing his EWU career, Haworth served as head men's coach and director of tennis at Fresno City College. While coaching at FCC, Haworth also was a tennis professional at the Fig Garden Swim and Tennis Club.

Prior to his stints at those two places, he was the head pro at the Visalia Racquet Club, where he worked with highly-ranked local players and nationally-ranked junior players.

Haworth earned a master's of arts degree in school counseling through the University of Redlands' School of Education in 2005. That followed a pair of seasons as the graduate assistant coach with both the men's and women's teams. Haworth helped lead the women to successive NCAA Division III Elite Eight appearances, while the men were ranked in the top five nationally both seasons.

He followed up a playing career at Linfield College with a one-year stint as the assistant coach. As a player, he helped lead the Wildcats to their first-ever Northwest Conference championship and appearance in the Division III Tournament.

Haworth earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from the school in 2003.

His collegiate playing career began at the College of the Sequoias, where he competed in No. 1 singles and doubles.
