GREATER DENTON SPORTS COMMISION AWARDS ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE
Barberee Named Sears College Coach of the Year

DENTON, Tex. – TWU volleyball coach Shelly Barberee earned Sears Coach of the Year honors at the third annual Greater Denton Sports Commission (GDSC) Athletic Banquet on Monday night at the Gateway Center at the University of North Texas.

Barberee arrived at Texas Woman’s University in 2003 and made an immediate impact on the volleyball program, taking the team from worst to first. Not only did she earn Lone Star Conference North Division Coach of the Year honors in her first season, she also led the Pioneers to their best record since 1997. She coached six All-Conference selections in 2003, more than any other Lone Star school. Perhaps, more impressively, she coached a team that compiled a 3.47 grade point average during their season with four of her players posting a perfect 4.0 GPA.
