Contact Coach Campbell: TTerri Dadio Campbell enters her eighth season at the helm of the women's volleyball program. The team has shown constant improvement under Campbell and enters 2009 having recorded five-straight seasons of double-digit wins. Her tenure at Lafayette has allowed Campbell and her coaching staff to not only return the program to its winning ways, but has also afforded her the opportunity to attract talented recruits that will allow that winning to continue. The 2008 season saw the Leopards finish with 12 wins, including a season sweep of Patriot League opponent Holy Cross. Lafayette placed six players on the league's Academic Honor Roll, matching the most-ever under Campbell. Those accomplishments came following a 2007 campaign in which Campbell guided her team to 12 wins. Campbell took over as the first full-time head coach in the program's 29-year history in 2002. In her second season, she guided the Leopards to their first Patriot League win since 1997 as they defeated archrival Lehigh in their last match of the season. The 2006 campaign was another historic one, as the team reached the Patriot League Tournament for the first in more than 10 years and finished the fall with 18 victories. Campbell came to College Hill for the 2002 season after spending seven successful seasons as the head coach at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va. from 1993-2000. Campbell compiled a 159-48 record (.768) and guided the women's volleyball team to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 1999 with a 22-7 record. In her seven seasons as head coach, Campbell's teams won five regular-season titles in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference and four ODAC Tournament titles. Campbell was recognized by her peers as the conference's Coach of the Year three times, winning the honor in 1995, 1997, and 1998. She was also selected as the Coach of the Year in the state of Virginia in 1995 and 1998. While at Washington and Lee, Campbell also served as the women's basketball coach and a physical education professor. A Bethlehem native, Campbell began her volleyball career at Freedom High School. She then moved on to Lafayette where she starred for the basketball team, earning All-Patriot League honors in both 1990-91 and 1991-92. During her sophomore, junior and senior years as a student-athlete on College Hill, Campbell served as an assistant volleyball coach at Freedom. Campbell then moved on to serve on the women's basketball coaching staff at The College of New Jersey, where she later earned her master's degree in Special Education, before taking over as the head volleyball coach at Washington and Lee. Campbell served as an assistant women's basketball coach at Princeton University during the 2000 and 2001 seasons. Campbell is an active member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), the Keystone Region Volleyball Association (KRVA) and USA Volleyball. Campbell and her husband, Shawn, reside in Bethlehem with their son, Casey, and daughter, Carly. |
