Stevens led the Bulldogs to a conference-best win percentage of .813 winning percentage, an overall record of 18-6 (13-3 WSC), and a No. 5 ranking in the CCCSIA poll while battling through an ever-changing shortened season.

The ABCA/ATEC Coaches of the Year are selected in all nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division, and high school.
