Head Coach:
Louie Richardson
Louie Richardson was hired as the head softball
and head volleyball coach at Washington College in July 2004 and had an immediate impact on both programs. He guided the softball team to 19 wins in his first season - the second-highest win total in team history - and led the Shorewomen into the Centennial Conference Playoffs, marking their first-ever postseason appearance. He also led the volleyball team to its best season in a decade during his first year as head coach.
Richardson served as an assistant softball coach at Washington from 2000-2003 and as an assistant volleyball coach at WC during the 2002-2003 academic year. During his three seasons as an assistant coach for
the WC softball team, the Shorewomen improved their overall won-loss
record each year. In the fall of 2002, with Richardson on the
sidelines as an assistant coach, the WC volleyball team posted
its winningest season since 1997. During his first stint at Washington,
he also served as an advisor to the department's Student-Athlete
Mentor program, an assistant coordinator of game management, and
an Intramurals supervisor.
Before returning to Washington, Richardson was previously
employed by the Wicomico County Department of Recreation, Parks,
and Tourism, where he had worked as a tournament coordinator and
program assistant since May 2002. While there, he performed a
wide range of duties. He coordinated both the fundraising program
and the junior golf program and he was responsible for tournament
scheduling, administration, and budgeting. He also assisted the
program director with various aspects of soccer and softball league
administration and with facility maintenance duties. He was recognized
by the Maryland and Delaware National Softball Association Office
as the Tournament Director of the Year for his work with the 2002
Delmarva NSA "B" Qualifier.
A native of Boonville, IN, Richardson earned a Bachelor
of Science in Business Management from Oakland City University
in 1998. Richardson served as an assistant softball coach at OCU
for three years as a student and for two more years following
his graduation. OCU competes on the NCAA Division II level and
on the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA)
Division I level.
