Career

Iowa

Sandy Stewart only received an interview from one university, the University of Iowa.[1] She coached the Iowa Hawkeyes women's volleyball team from 1982-1988.[2]

Her first season in 1982 the team finished with a 9-22 record. In 1983, her team finished with a record of 22-9 and she was the Big Ten Coach of the Year. They finished second in the conference, which was the highest ever for the team.[1]

Stewart kept her team on an alcohol- and sugar-free diet.[3]

Stewart started the 1986 season optimistic that the team could win a Big Ten championship.[3] The team finished the 1986 season third in the Big Ten Conference with a record of 12-6. She signed four recruits for the 1987 season.[4]

She resigned in 1989, citing the need for a career change.[5] She said that "I felt good about what I've done here, but I just know I have to move to something different." She also said the hardest part of quitting was telling her recruits.[1] She finished her seven career with a record of 136-102.[2]
