    Women's Soccer, Coach
Chuck Laudermilch was the first coach in the history of Bloomsburg University women's soccer. He posted a record of 104-35-8 in eight years before retiring in 1997. Under his leadership, the Huskies were three-time Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) finalists—winning the first title in school history in 1996. His 1996 unit also ranked as high as third during the season—the team's highest-ever ranking—and entered the NCAA Division II Championships for the first time in school history reaching the quarterfinals.

Laudermilch also guided the Huskies to two Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) playoff appearances, the first coming in just the third year of the program. His 1993 squad won the ECAC title. Laudermilch also earned Northeast Region Coach of the Year honors twice in his career.

In his eight seasons, Laudermilch never experienced a losing campaign. The initial squad finished 7-7-1 and consistently progressed to an 18-game winner in 1996, the program's winningest campaign. The team also consistently rose in the national polls, ranking 14th in 1992, 11th in 1993, seventh in 1994, and fifth in 1995, before reaching the third spot in 1996. During his tenure, Laudermilch coached nine All-Americans and 20 Northeast Regional All-Star selections.

He held a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced National Diploma and was on the NSCAA Board of Directors. Laudermilch was also the head coach for the Keystone State Games Open Women's Region II for seven years and served as a guest coach at numerous camps.
 
Laudermilch also served as an associate professor in the Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Criminal Justice at Bloomsburg. He was awarded the first Tale Award in 2000 for outstanding teaching effectiveness. He is currently working with BU's Center For Community Research and Change as an organizational change consultant.
 
He and his wife, Carol, have three children - Steve, Stacey, and Shannon - and eight grandchildren.
