About Coach Dixon

Surina R Dixon

With over a decade of professional collegiate coaching and recruiting experience, Surina Dixon has earned a reputation as a prolific recruiter and program builder.

In her recent return to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC), she made her presence known by hitting the ground running with the best program start (8-0) in the history of the women's program and capturing a semi-final round appearance in the 2023 SIAC Tournament.

Very few coaches can establish themselves as great recruiters and also move low-performing programs to a competitive conference contender; however, Surina Dixon has done just that with multiple teams and has also assisted other programs to great success.

Vision

Accountability, Integrity, Communication, Effort, and Commitment are the core driving values that guide our vision as a coaching staff to build a successful team infrastructure and foundation with quality, academically sound student-athletes who become graduates and productive citizens in society.

Mission

Our mission is centered on building a thriving team and winning culture with academically sound and talented student-athletes who will become our future leaders of tomorrow.
