Tonya Strange
	Head Coach tstrange@babson.edu (781) 239-6672

A 1994 graduate of Babson, Tonya Strange enters her fourth season as head coach of her alma mater's women's volleyball program. This is the second stint as coach for Strange, who guided the Beavers to a record of 39-36 from 1995 to 1997. In her first three seasons back at the helm, she had led the squad to 35 victories, including a stellar 16-12 mark in 2008 - the program's highest win total since 2002.

In addition to volleyball, Strange has served as an assistant girls basketball coach at both Lincoln-Sudbury Regional and more recently Hudson Catholic. Over the last 11 years, she has also worked for DataStar, Inc. in Waltham, where she has served as the Director of Operations since December of 2002.

A four-year member of the Beavers' volleyball squad, Strange helped lead Babson to the most successful stretch in program history. During her career, the team posted a magnificent record of 74-30, including a brilliant 21-7 mark and a third place finish in the NEW 8 in 1993 - the team's finest season ever. She is one of only six players to earn All-Conference honors at Babson, and is the only player to earn league accolades in multiple seasons.

Strange was also a standout on Babson's history-making women's basketball team, which posted a record of 89-22 and earned back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament during her career. She is one of only 11 players in Babson history to score 1,000 points, as she amassed 1,009 points as well as 640 rebounds in four seasons.
