Kim Dean was named head coach for the Eagles in 2017, after her successful season as head coach at Armstrong State University in 2016 and 2017.
“Anytime you take over a program you encounter different obstacles,” Dean said about the switch from ASU to Georgia Southern.
In her time at Armstrong, Dean was able to help the Pirates finish third at the 2017 NCAA DII National Championships and finished the season with an impressive record of 38-14.
Dean, along with her staff, was also named 2017 NFCA Division II Southeast Region Coaching Staff of the Year by the coaches’ association as well.
