Misc. Information

Head coach Kristy Trn enters her 9th season at Shippensburg in 2007-08. Though not considered a formidable power until recently, the Lady Raiders have really come onto the scene since the mid-90's. Much of that success is credited to Trn who became a volunteer assistant coach in 1993-94 and became a full time assistant the following year. She took over head duties in 1999-00. In her capacity as an assistant and head coach, Trn has helped oversee eight 20+ winning seasons, three regional titles, six conference titles, and eight NCAA appearances. In Trn's first season at the helm, she took the Lady Raiders to a 24-6 record and won the conference championship. Trn was an All-American honorable mention in 1993 for Shippensburg and one of the program's most prolific scorers (1,765), the fourth highest total in school history. In 2006-07, Trn turned in a 17-11 record but did not receive an NCAA bid.
