Shenandoah Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Bridget Lyons, Ph.D., is a former three-sport college athlete, whose philosophy drew her to work at Shenandoah University, which boasts 21 Division III teams. For Lyons and her student-athletes, academics come first, along with the hope that the athletic experience at Shenandoah is one that helps Hornets both develop irreplaceable skills and look back on their days at the university with the fondest of memories.
