Pein, in his 30th season with the team, was inducted into the UW-L Wall of Fame in 2006. He was named WIAC Coach of the Year 16 times and NCAA Division III Women's Swimming National Coach of the Year in 2004. A campaign to raise funds to name the swimming and diving facility in honor of Pein has begun. The goal is $50,000, with an initial year goal of $15,000. Contribute through the Athletics Office 608.785.8616.
Perkins guided UW-L to the NCAA III tournament in four of the last nine years, including two trips to the national quarterfinals. In 2003, she led the Eagles to a share of the school's first conference championship since 1986 and claimed UW-L’s first WIAC tournament title. Perkins was 392-216 (.645) in 18 seasons at UW-L.
