Asked what it means to be named the top coach, Sheffield said: “It means I’ve got Rachel Krabacher on my team. That’s going to make a coach a whole lot better and a whole lot smarter — when you’ve got talented players on your team.
“You see the all-conference team is peppered with Flyers. We’ve got a lot of talent. They’ve worked very, very hard to have the season they’ve had. Fortunately, our coaches get a little bit of recognition because of that.”
The Flyers, who won the regular-season A-10 crown, set a program record with six players earning postseason league honors.
“It’s great to be named player of the year. I wasn’t even on the all-conference team last season,” Krabacher said. “Coach has helped us a lot this year. We’ve worked really, really hard to get where we are. It’s a great honor.”
