Hudson lead the program to its first conference-level postseason berth in the 2020-21 season. Hudson and the Tornados earned the four-seed in the 2020-21 USA South Conference West Division Tournament after finishing the regular season with a 6-5 record in conference play. The postseason appearance marked the first in the program's now 15-year NCAA-era history.
