Eric Burns was named the head coach of Millersville's tennis programs prior to the 2026-27 season. With ties to the Lancaster area and PSAC and coaching experience at the Division II level, Burns is a perfect fit for a Millersville program with plenty of recent success.
Burns most recently coached the Goldey-Beacom women during the 2025-26 season, but he also won a 2019 PIAA Championship as the boys' coach at Pequea Valley High School.
Burns, a 1993 graduate of Bloomsburg University, entered coaching in 2011 as the head coach of both the boys' and girls' programs at Pequea Valley while also founding and serving as the head professional of the Pequea Valley Junior Tennis Club, which grew to 100 participants over the next decade while producing more than 20 college players. With the high school program, Burns totaled 212 wins and won the Lancaster-Lebanon League Coach of the Year Award three times.
He built upon his success at the high school level by becoming the associate head coach at Goldey-Beacom in 2024. In six months, Burns moved into the role of head coach and produced immediate results. The following three semesters, he led the Lightning to a No. 47 national ranking, four of his players earned All-CACC honors, and he mentored the CACC Rookie of the Year. In 2025, the Lightning received the CACC Sportsmanship Award.
