The 2-1 tournament victory marks a decade of excellence for Orlowsky. Her very first win with the Night Hawks came in September of 2013, a 3-1 win over the University of Mobile. Over her eleven year career, Orlowksy has lead TU to some remarkable seasons. She has brought the Night Hawks two ten win seasons and two more eleven win seasons. She also helped TU get back to the NAIA National Tournament in the 2020-2021 season, ending a 17 year drought for TU and securing a spot as Continental Athletic Conference finalists. Under Orlowsky’s guidance, TU has played for a pair of conference titles and has competed in 10 out of 11 conference tournaments.
