Freshman Sadie Portmann led the team with 863 attacks and finished with 2.49 kills per set.
Radecki possesses a proven track record which includes a 14-year run at the University of North Alabama where she led the Lions to 326 wins including a national runner-up finish in 2006 while also leading UNA to nine appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament.
Radecki guided North Alabama to at least 20 wins in 12 of her 14 seasons in Florence including a 36-win season in 2005 and followed up with 35 wins in 2006 when the Lions advanced to the NCAA Division II national final.
During her tenure with UNA, the Lions also won five Gulf South Conference (GSC) championships, and one NCAA South Central Region title.
