Stephanie Radecki ('97) starred as a member of the Edinboro volleyball team from 1993-96, and was the 1997 Nancy Acker Award winner. Edinboro made two appearances in the Elite Eight in four seasons, capturing the Atlantic Region title in 1994 and again in 1996. A native of Meadville, PA, she ranks among Edinboro’s career leaders in a number of categories, even though freshman year statistics are not available. An outside hitter, Radecki led the team in kills in 1995 (458) and 1996 (498). She also paced the team in block assists in 1994 (91) and in digs in ’95 (366). In 1995 she finished with 458 kills, the eighth-highest season total, along with 366 digs. She totaled 540 kills, the third-highest total in school history, in 1996, adding 460 digs, good for eighth in a season. For her career, Radecki is fifth in career kills (1,197) and total attempts (2,710), ranks third in career service aces (142), seventh in career block solos (42), and eighth in career digs (1,053). In 1995 she was accorded first team All-PSAC West honors and was also an All-Atlantic Region choice. In 1996 she was recognized as the PSAC West Athlete of the Year after leading the Fighting Scots to a 28-13 record. She was also an All-PSAC and All-Region honoree for the second straight year. After serving as an assistant coach at Edinboro for a season, she moved to North Alabama as a graduate assistant coach in 1998. That was the beginning of a very successful coaching career. Radecki spent one season as the head coach at St. Leo, and completed her fourth season as the head coach at North Alabama in the fall. During that period her teams have compiled a 115-30 record. She won Gulf Coast Conference championships in each of her first three seasons, along with guiding the Lions to the 2006 NCAA South Central Region title and a berth in the National Championship match. She was named the GSC East Division Coach of the Year and AVCA Regional Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2006.
