Trish Riddell has been Florida Southern’s head women’s tennis coach for the last 20 years (2006-present), during which time she’s taken the Moccasins to 11 NCAA Tournaments, had them nationally ranked every year, produced seven different individual All-Americans, and the school’s only SSC Player-of-the-Year in women’s tennis (Senka Softic in 2008 and 2009). Riddell has coached 26 different All-SSC players, including Softic, who was inducted into the FSC Athletics Hall of Fame in 2015.

Riddell’s mark of 262 career wins in 2025 pushed her to become the winningest coach in program history (Ed Jeffries, 1981-99) with 251 wins earned on Sunday, March 9, with a 6-1 win over St. Mary's University. Riddell was also named the SSC Coach of the Year for her success with Olivia Bryant being named an All-American and finishing ninth in singles with the team finishing 13th overall. She earned the 100th win of her career on Feb. 27, 2012, against Eckerd, and her 200th career win against the same opponent on April 5, 2019. Her 2007 squad went 21-5 to tie the school record for most matches won in a season en route to a berth to the NCAA Division II National Finals for the first time since 1991. Once there, Florida Southern earned a fifth-place finish, equaling the best-ever program finish, and a final ITA ranking of No. 8, the highest in team history.

Under Riddell’s tenure, the Moccasins have recorded nine 15+ win seasons and have defeated 13 top-10 opponents, with the biggest upset in program history on Feb. 16, 2019 when Florida Southern topped No. 2 West Florida, 4-3. Most recently, Riddell led the Mocs to a 4-3 upset of No. 9 Tampa on April 6, 2023 on Senior Day. Riddell has also led upsets of Division-I opponents, most recently on March 19, 2019 with a 4-3 win over NJIT. Other victories over Division-I foes include an 8-1 victory over Villanova (March 6, 2012) and a 6-3 win over Incarnate Word (March 25, 2012).
