Khary Pryce joined the Crimson as an assistant coach in the fall of 2023 after graduating from Cornell University in 2022. While with the Big Red, Pryce was a four-year member of the Cornell women's tennis team and ultimately graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial and Labor Relations.
Pryce helped the Crimson reach new heights in her first season on the sidelines, as the team finished with its best record since 2005 with an overall record of 19-5 and a league record of 5-2. Pryce played an instrumental role in the coaching of Holly Fischer '25 (unanimous first team singles, second team doubles) and Stephanie Yakoff '27 (second team singles and doubles) who earned All-Ivy honors. In her first-year Pryce helped the Crimson to a second place league finish and its first NCAA appearance since 2010.
At Cornell, Pryce served as the president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, peer facilitated for the Intergroup Dialogue Project, was a teaching assistant for the Big Red Leadership Committee, and was a member of the Red Key Athlete Honors Society. She was twice selected as an Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic Scholar-Athlete. In her senior year, Pryce earned the Ronald P. Lynch Senior Spirit Award for student-athletes whose leadership on and off the court models the ideals of the Cornell athletics department.
