(Lock
Haven, Pa.) - Lock
Haven
University
of Pennsylvania Associate Director of Athletics Peter Campbell will temporarily
add the role of head women’s soccer coach for the upcoming season. His
appointment comes after the recent resignation of two-year head coach Shannon
Champ.
The new role brings
Campbell
out of retirement after he previously served as the head coach of the Haven
program during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. Under his guidance, those teams
compiled a
31-6-4
overall record and earned a pair of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)
Championships along with two straight berths into the NCAA Division II national
tournament. During both seasons he claimed PSAC Coach of the Year honors as
well as National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division II
Northeast Region Coach of the Year honors.
Campbell
will temporarily take over the reigns for the 2004 season. A national search
will be carried out during the fall to bring in a new head coach by the close
of the year. He replaces former
head coach Shannon Champ, who recently resigned due to personal and family
reasons.
Champ, the head coach the past two
seasons, guided the Lady Eagle team to a 26-14-3 mark. The 2002 squad
established the first undefeated record in the PSAC regular season, finishing
the year as PSAC tournament semifinalists and NCAA Northeast Region finalists.
In 2003, she coached a young group of Lady Eagles to the PSAC championship
game.
The University will open the search for a
new women’s soccer coach in the fall in order to bring the new hire on board
by the close of 2004.
