They advanced to the ASUN Championship tournament as the No. 4 seed with five All-ASUN selections, a pair of ASUN All-Academic selections, an ASUN All-Freshman honoree and the ASUN's Defensive Player of the Year, Zara Siassi. Siassi also went on to be awarded the program's first All-American honor and second Academic All-American distinction in D-I history.

His first-ever coaching stint came at Newberry College, where he was named assistant coach in 2003, helping lead the program to its first-ever winning season.
