LAURA EDHOLM INTRODUCED AS HEAD COACH FOR HILBERT GOLF

Hilbert College athletics director Tim Seil is pleased to introduce Laura Edholm as the new head coach for the Hawks' Golf program.
 
Edholm is no stranger to the links or to the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference. She joins the Hawks athletics program after proudly serving, since 1997, the Medaille University student-athletes.

During her 26-year tenure at the North Buffalo campus, Edholm held multiple roles for the Maverick's athletic department.  She concluded her career as the Senior Associate Athletic Director, the Senior Woman Administrator and was the head coach for the Mavs golf program.

Edholm was tasked with directing and managing the athletics department while spearheading their fundraising efforts.  She was as the Faculty Advisor to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and her personality and sport knowledge allowed her to serve a head coach for four different sport programs.

She led the Golf team in 2021 and 2022 after battling back from the world wide pandemic. Previously, the Tonawanda resident guided the women's bowling program to four AMCC regular season championships (2015, 2019, 2020, 2021) and three consecutive AMCC Titles. Her 2018-19 team, after winning 60 matches, took the AMCC's first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. 

Before her time on the lanes, Edholm was the head coach for the Mavericks Softball team from 2012-2016 and spent time in the hardwood leading the Women's Volleyball program from 1999 until 2005.

She was named the AMCC Women's Bowling Coach of the Year four times. She recruited and developed multiple All-Conference, Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year athletes, in each sport she coached.

Edholm was a Division I volleyball player while studying at Coastal Carolina and continues to hold the second and third highest single season total of service aces. She was named to the 1992 Big South All-Tournament team.
