Recchia received a bachelor's degree in physical education from Virginia Tech in 2004 where she played for the Hokies, including four 20-win seasons. She received a master's degree in education in 2006 while serving as a graduate assistant at her alma mater.
Toles comes from Florida State where she filled the role as graduate assistant since 2013 after suiting up for the Seminoles for her senior year and part of her junior season. She was the team's co-captain in her final year, led the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio and helped FSU advance in the NCAA Tournament. Before transferring to Florida State she played at Auburn where she was a two-year starter. Toles racked up numerous academic honors while working towards a bachelor's degree in social science. She completed her master's degree in sports management in the spring of 2016.

Her duties at Lenior-Rhyne included coordinating travel, overseeing the team management staff, fulfilling recruiting and compliance needs, directing game day operations, managing the team's community outreach efforts, serving as an assistant strength and conditioning coach and other coaching functions. Seberger played from 2010-2014 at Illinois State where she served as the team captain in her final season and earned numerous academic and leadership accolades. Throughout her playing years, she coached an AAU team, completed an internship in marketing and was a Illinois State camp counselor and university marketing representative.
