NASHVILLE – Union University’s Mark Campbell was named the Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TSWA) Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, as announced this week by the organization. This is the sixth TSWA Coach of the Year for Campbell (2005, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2020).
Campbell led Union to the Gulf South Conference regular season title for the sixth time in eight years of league play as well as the program’s third Gulf South Tournament championship, compiling a 26-5 overall mark, 17-3 in GSC action. The Bulldogs earned the No. 2 seed in the NCAA D2 South Region Tournament, but was not played due to the COVID-19 shutdowns.
