Philadelphia, Pa. – Holy Family University has named Bernadette Laukaitis ’00 its new head women’s basketball coach as announced by Director of Athletics Tim Hamill on Monday. Laukaitis becomes the program’s sixth head coach in its 33-year history.
“I can’t think of anyone better to lead our women’s basketball team and take the program to the next level,” said Hamill. “I’m happy to welcome Bernadette back to Holy Family where she was a standout player and began her coaching career as an assistant. She brings a ton of knowledge and experience with her after spending close to two decades with one of the top coaches in the area in Mike McLaughlin.
Bernadette’s enthusiasm for Holy Family basketball and her connection with our alumni can’t be overlooked. I’m confident she’s going to do great things with the program.”
Laukaitis comes to Holy Family after spending the past 10 years at Division I University of Pennsylvania as an assistant coach.

“I am very honored to be named Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Holy Family University,” said Laukaitis. “It truly is my dream job as it is a place that I have an enormous amount of pride and passion for both as a player, assistant coach and now as a head coach. As it is difficult to leave a special place like Penn, I believe it has helped shape me and prepared me for this moment. I will miss the wonderful people that I had the pleasure to work with during my tenure and I look forward to following their continued success.
I am looking forward to building my own foundation of success both on and off the floor by establishing strong relationships with the team, our alumni and the HFU community. Thank you Sr Maureen McGarrity and Tim Hamill for this amazing opportunity. I can’t wait to start the next chapter in my coaching journey!”

Cabrini finished 23-5 overall and 15-1 in conference play that year; the most wins for the program since the 1994-95 season.
Her coaching career began after graduating from Holy Family as an assistant with the Tigers. Laukaitis spent eight seasons on the Campus Center sidelines and went on to win five Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) titles and also appear in the program’s first five NCAA Tournaments. During those eight seasons the Tigers went 234-27, including a 32-1 mark in 2007-08 when the team finished No. 4 nationally. Prior to the program’s transition to NCAA Division II the Tigers appeared in three NAIA Tournaments.

It’s a heck of a class, that’s for sure.
On Dec. 21, Holy Family University inducted five new members into its Athletics Hall of Fame. Two of the new members, Mike McLaughlin and Dan Williams, were very successful basketball coaches at the school, while Allison Maddock (class of 2001, softball), Melissa Murphy (class of 2003, soccer) and Catherine Carr (class of 2011, basketball) were stars in their sport.
The event was held at the Radisson Hotel Philadelphia Northeast in front of 160 guests. It marked the first induction since 2010.
“It was an amazing evening highlighting the careers of five individuals that made a huge impact at Holy Family,” said Holy Family athletic director Tim Hamill. “To officially induct them as Hall of Famers is truly an honor. It was great to see so many alumni along with family and friends. The love and support for all inductees was on full display tonight.
”
Here is a look at each member of the class of 2019. Information provided by Holy Family.
Catherine Carr, women’s basketball
The program’s first NCAA Division II All-American, Carr is the Tigers’ all-time leading scorer with 1,995 career points after averaging 16 points per game in her career. During her four years at Holy Family (2007-11), Carr accumulated a number of honors, as she was a four-time All-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference honoree, CACC Rookie of the Year (2007-08) and CACC Player of the Year (2008-09). She received All-Region honors three times and capped her career with WBCA All-America accolades her senior season. Holy Family appeared in the CACC Tournament all four years of Carr’s career and raised the championship banner in 2008. The Tigers advanced to the NCAA Division II tournament all four years and were East Region finalists in 2008 and 2010. Carr was inducted into the CACC Hall of Fame this year.
Melissa Murphy, women’s soccer
Murphy was a member of the women’s soccer program from 1999-2002 and a stellar player in net for the Tigers during that span.
She is the only goalkeeper in program history to hold a career goals against average under 1.00 (0.99) while recording a program-record 426 career saves. During the course of her career, she compiled a won-loss record of 43-18-4, including a program-record 19 victories in 2000. Murphy is a three-time All-CACC selection and was named the CACC Player of the Year in 2002, the first in program history. She was also selected to the All-Region team in her senior season and was an NAIA All-American Honorable Mention honoree. During her senior season, she led the CACC with 190 saves. Murphy was part of three CACC Tournament championship teams (1999-2001) and appeared in the NAIA Regional all four seasons of her career.
Allison Maddock, softball
Eighteen years after throwing her final pitch, Maddock still ranks as the program’s all-time leader in wins with 74 and with a 1.10 earned run averaged. Over her four-year career, Maddock, who went to Little Flower, appeared in 116 games, including 92 starts and over 658 innings of work, the most in program history.
She is also the career leader in opponent batting average (.163), starts, appearances, complete games (84), shutouts (31), wins and saves (3).

In 2000, Maddock finished with 22 victories and a career-low 1.17 ERA to go along with 124 strikeouts and nine shutouts. She helped lead the Tigers to a 38-14 season with appearances in the CACC Tournament and NAIA Regional.
Mike McLaughlin (1995-2009) women’s basketball coach
One of the most successful coaches in program history, McLaughlin served as head coach of the women’s basketball team at Holy Family for 14 seasons from 1995 to 2009. During that span, McLaughlin produced over 400 victories (407-61), becoming the fastest women’s basketball coach in NCAA history to reach 400 wins, doing it in 459 games. During his tenure at Holy Family, McLaughlin won six CACC Tournament championships (2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2008) and qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament six straight seasons (2004-2009).
One of his most successful seasons while at Holy Family came in 2007-08, when he led the Tigers to an undefeated regular season and advanced to the NCAA Division II Northeast Regional final. Holy Family’s only blemish that year came in the regional final versus Franklin Pierce University, as the Tigers finished the season 32-1 overall. An eight-time CACC Coach of the Year, McLaughlin also coached 27 All-CACC honorees, three CACC Rookie of the Years and five CACC Players of the Year. In addition, McLaughlin’s rosters featured three NAIA All-Americans and his teams advanced to eight NAIA Tournaments before Holy Family became a full-time NCAA Division II member. He is now the head coach at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dan Williams (1986-2003) men’s basketball coach
The first head coach in the program’s history, Williams is the men’s basketball winningest coach with 375 victories over the course of 17 seasons. Williams built the program from the bottom to one of the elite city college programs during its NAIA era.
In his third season, the Tigers finished 30-9 and went on to the KAC Tournament Finals and won the NAIA District 19 championship. As a result, Holy Family appeared in its first NAIA National Tournament. The Tigers would go on to appear in the NAIA National Tournament four more times under Williams in 1996, 1999, 2002 and 2003. The 30 victories in the 1988-89 season are still the most in program history. Williams coached 14 NAIA All-Americans and 18 1,000 career point scorers during his tenure. He was also named Coach of the Year 12 times.

Mike McLaughlin is the new women’s basketball coach at Penn.
PENN NAMES McLAUGHLIN WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACH
April 28, 2009
University of Pennsylvania director of athletics Steve Bilsky has announced the hiring of Mike McLaughlin as the Quakers’ head coach of women’s basketball. McLaughlin becomes the eighth coach in program history.
McLaughlin comes to Penn from NCAA Division II member Holy Family University, where in 14 seasons as head coach of the women’s basketball team he has had a career equal to anyone who has coached the game.
McLaughlin has racked up an impressive record of 407 wins and 61 losses, a winning percentage of .870 which is the highest at any level of NCAA Basketball (men or women). Out of his 14 seasons as a head coach, McLaughlin has been honored as the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Coach of the Year 13 times.
Earlier this year, McLaughlin won his 400th game as a head coach faster than any other women’s basketball coach in NCAA history, doing it in 459 games. The Division I record is held by Leon Barmore, who needed 463 games to reach the milestone at Louisiana Tech, while the Division III record is 464 games set by Nancy Fahey at Washington University (Mo.).
“When we initially brought Mike in, it was obviously hard to look past the remarkable record he has had at Holy Family,” said Bilsky. “However, what we found out during the search process is that his players love playing for him, he is a great representative of the University at which he works, and he is big on building the community around him.
We look forward to having him do that with our women’s basketball program, our department, and our University.”
“It is an honor and a privilege to represent a world-class institution like Penn,” said McLaughlin. “I look forward to building a foundation of success that will enable the women’s basketball program to consistently be at the top of the Ivy League. I want to thank Steve Bilsky and his staff for affording me the opportunity to take on this tremendous responsibility.”
McLaughlin’s teams won at least 25 games in each of his 14 years as Holy Family’s head coach. In six of those years (1998, 2000-03, 2008), the Tigers won 30 games, including a pair of 32-win seasons (1998 and 2008). Holy Family reached 29 wins three other times (1999, 2006, 2007).
Holy Family won six CACC Tournament championships with him at the helm (2000-02, 2005, 2007-08) and four NAIA conference crowns (Southeastern – 1996; Northeast – 1997, 1998; North – 2003). As an NAIA member, the Tigers made four trips to the national quarterfinals (1998, 2001-03), and since joining NCAA Division II in 2003-04 the team has qualified for the NCAA Tournament every season.
This past season, Holy Family went 26-6 overall and was a perfect 18-0 in the CACC — the fourth straight year the Tigers went undefeated in the regular season in conference play. Holy Family’s season ended in the NCAA East Region second round against Stonehill (Mass.).
In 2007-08, Holy Family started the season unranked, but had earned national respect by year’s end after finishing the season with a 32-1 mark. The Tigers won the CACC Tournament championship and made its fifth appearance in the NCAA Northeast Regional Tournament. For the first time, the Tigers earned the region’s top seed and were selected as the host institution for the tournament. Holy Family reached the NCAA Northeast Region final for the first time. During that season, Holy Family ranked as high as fourth nationally in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll, and ended the year ranked ninth.
McLaughlin has had his tremendous success with tough, hard-nosed defense. In five of the last six seasons, the Tigers finished in the top-10 in Division II in scoring defense and led the nation in that statistic in 2003-04 (51.
8 ppg), 2007-08 (50.7 ppg), and 2008-09 (48.5 ppg). During the same time span, Holy Family ended the season in the top-five in field goal percentage defense five times — the Tigers were sixth this past season — and twice led the nation.
McLaughlin’s teams also had success in the classroom. All of the four-year players that he has brought in, and stayed all four years, have graduated. In 2007-08, the team boasted a team grade-point average of 3.43. For the second year in a row, McLaughlin’s program was rated the best in Division II by the College Bound Student Athletes (CBSA) guide.
McLaughlin was a two-year assistant on the women’s staff at Holy Family before taking the reins as its third head coach in 1995-96.
A graduate of Holy Family, McLaughlin received his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice.

What they say about Mike McLaughlin…
“There are a number of great college basketball coaches in the city of Philadelphia, and Mike McLaughlin certainly falls into that category — his record at Holy Family speaks for itself. In my dealings with him, I have found him to be personable, passionate about basketball, and someone with outstanding leadership qualities.” – Fran Dunphy, former head men’s basketball coach at Penn, now head men’s coach at Temple
“Mike McLaughlin is a terrific hire for Penn. He is a great guy who happens to be a very successful coach.
His personality and passion for the game will go a long way with this program.” – Kelly Greenberg, former head women’s basketball coach at Penn, now head women’s coach at Boston University
“Mike is a great choice for the University of Pennsylvania as its next women’s basketball coach. He has great respect for the Philadelphia Big 5, The Palestra, and the history of Penn Basketball. He will have the opportunity to work for people like Steve Bilsky and Mary DiStanislao, who care about women’s basketball and love Penn.” – Joe McKeown, Father Judge graduate, long-time head women’s basketball coach at George Washington, now head women’s coach at Northwestern
Holy Family College disbands athletics after coronavirus forces closure
CLOSE
MANITOWOC – All athletics at Holy Family College were disbanded Monday when the college announced its closure.
The four-year university in Manitowoc will close for good Aug. 29.
“Found out this morning, same as everyone else,” said Holy Family College athletic director and men’s basketball coach Brandt Danals.
“Had no idea it was in the works or a possibility. Pretty surprising for everyone.”
Danals said nobody in the athletic department was aware how close the college was to closing, having recently hired both a bowling and women’s volleyball coach.
“Last week we thought we were in pretty good shape,” Danals said. “Shocked and surprised by the whole ordeal.”

Reasons for the closing cited in a news release by the college were increased costs, unstable enrollment and challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was the last which proved a challenge for Haley Paonessa, who was hired at the beginning of March as volleyball coach.
Paonessa moved to Manitowoc from Cleveland, Ohio, on March 8 and was barely learning the layout of her new office when the school was closed due to the coronavirus.
“I was in the office one week before we shut down because of COVID-19 so been working from home pretty much since,” Paonessa said.
Holy Family was to be the first collegiate head coaching job for Paonessa, who had been a graduate assistant most recently at a small college in Ohio.
“People have been saying sorry to me like it was their fault, but it’s nobody’s fault,” Paonessa said.
When she found out the news she was in her office, one of the two days staff were allowed back as of very recently, and co-workers came to break the announcement.
“For me it was just shock,” Paonessa said. “One of my co-workers, my predecessor actually, started to cry. Everyone kept telling me if they just knew this would happen they never would have brought me in.”
Danals says the college, which went by Silver Lake College until the past year, has offered athletics since the early 1970s and became full NAIA members last year.
The search to find athletes new homes begins immediately, with a blanket release for all athletes to contact other programs forthcoming.
“We’re really committed to our athletes landing on their feet,” Danals said. “The one benefit of this coming at the end of the semester is they have the summer to find a new school.”
Paonessa, relaying the concerns of at least one of her players, thought the timing could have been better.
“Why did they announce this right before finals started?” Paonessa said. “Had they waited to Thursday or Friday the reaction might have been different. Everyone is studying for exams and now worrying about this.”
Danals summed up the situation by looking at both sides of the coin.
“The announcement is devastating to me personally, our athletes and the Manitowoc community as a whole,” Danals said. “If there’s any school equipped to handle this compassionately, though, it’s Holy Family College.”

Skip Prosser – Skip Prosser
George Edward “Skip” Prosser (November 3, 1950 – July 26, 2007) was an American college basketball coach who, at the time of his death, was the head coach of men’s basketball at Wake Forest University.He was the only coach in NCAA history to invite three separate schools to an NCAA tournament in his first year of teaching teams. In his 21 years as a varsity coach, he played 18 games in the postseason.
Previously, he coached Xavier University for seven seasons, where he achieved great success. He spent his first year of coaching at the varsity level at Loyola College in Maryland, where he took the greyhounds to the team’s first modern performance at an NCAA tournament.
Prosser was the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 2003.
Early life
Prosser was born and raised in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania suburb of Carnegie and graduated from Carnegie High School where he played football and basketball. He played basketball and rugby at the United States Merchant Marine Academy where he received his degree in marine science in 1972.
Prosser trained at the Linsley Military Institute in Wheeling, West Virginia, where he set a 38-9 record.He was then recruited as a history teacher at Wheeling Central Catholic High School, where he coached his teams for the 1982 state championship, five regional championships, and three conference titles over a six-year period and a 104-48 record. Later, Prosser would say that he would be happy if he still taught and coached at the Central Catholic School. One of the players on his championship team was Doug Wojczyk, the former head coach of Charleston College.Prosser earned his MA in Secondary Education from West Virginia University while teaching at Wheeling Central.
Coaching
Prosser coached 15 seasons as head coach at the collegiate level. He began his coaching career in college when he was hired by coach Pete Gillen as an assistant coach for eight seasons at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, beginning in the 1985–86 season, and became Gillen’s chief assistant.
His senior coach career began at Loyola College, Maryland on April 1, 1993. In addition to replacing Tom Schneider, who retired at the height of the school’s worst 2-25 season, Prosser inherited a program that ended his sixth straight defeat. campaign. In their only season at Loyola, Greyhounds finished with an all-time record 17-13 and won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship to earn their first ever NCAA Division I Mooring Tournament.He returned to Xavier exactly one year later, on April 1, 1994, to replace Guillen, who had taken a similar position at Providence College two days earlier. Prosser became the second winning coach in Xavier’s history after Gillen.
Prosser began his career at Wake Forest in 2001 and each of his first four years there brought Demon Deacons to an NCAA tournament. Prosser is credited with participating in the Wake Forest student’s Screamin ‘Demons program and increasing attendance through tricks during the game, such as when the Demon Deacon mascot drove Laurence Joel in a Harley Davidson and filled the Zombie Nation’s Kernkraft 400 Colosseum for a hint and when the deacons go on the run.During Prosser’s tenure as head coach in 2004, home season tickets were sold out for the first time. In the 2004–05 season, the team ranked first in the Associated Press rankings for the first time in school history and won a school prize. a record 27 games. In Wake Forest, Prosser won 100 games faster than anyone except two ACC coaches. In 2003, his Demon Deacons became the first ACC to ever lead a nation in rebounds. In the summer of 2007, Prosser organized a training class that was said to be in the top five for the coming year.
Prosser was the collegiate coach of current and former NBA players Aaron Williams, James Posey, David West, Josh Howard, Darius Songail and Chris Paul; he won national recruiting wars for Paul and Eric Williams. His career record was 291-146 (0.666).
Every senior Prosser coached earned a degree in four years.
Coaching style
Prosser’s teams were known for their fast pace and explosive attack.
Over the past two disturbing seasons, Prosser has quoted Thomas Payne, Henry David Thoreau, Friedrich Nietzsche, or William Shakespeare to his players to inspire them. In the spring semester before the summer exhibition tours, Prosser required each member of his team to take a course in the history of the place they were going to visit. He also attended classes and wrote the required coursework.
Personal life
Prosser and his wife Nancy met in Cincinnati.He had two sons, Scott and Mark, from his first marriage to Ruth Charles.
Mark was formerly head coach at Brevard College Division II, served as assistant coach at Winthrop University, and is now head coach at Winthrop University.
An avid sports fan, Prosser has been a follower of the Pittsburgh Steelers since childhood and often found sports bars to watch them play on the road. He was at the Three Rivers Stadium to attend a flawless reception.He also saw Roberto Clemente’s 3,000th and last hit and the last game ever played at the Three Rivers Stadium. He once hitchhiked around the country.
Prosser has earned a reputation in college basketball for his sharp intellect and sense of humor. He loved to read books by Robert Ladlam, as well as his biographies and books on history, philosophy and politics. Loyola’s sporting director, Joe Boylan, said Prosser was “a renaissance basketball coach.”Former Xavier player Duane Wilson said: “He always loved to read history books, so he always quoted something – be it Winston Churchill or another great writer – he always quoted someone.
”
Prosser stated in an interview that aired shortly after his death that his favorite quote was from a speech by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “He was a transcendentalist in America in the 1830s who said: who will make us do what we can.”I thought it was a powerful statement that we need to be around people who challenge us to be as good as we can.”
Since 2009, Prosser’s legacy has been celebrated in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with the annual READ Challenge as part of the Skip Prosser literacy program. The READ Challenge, a collaboration between Wake Forest Athletics and the Wake Forest Department of Education and supported by Winston-Salem-based literary non-profit organization Bookmarks, encourages and supports reading among fourth-grade students in Winston-Salem / Forsyth County.In the fall of 2019, 1,441 fourth-graders from 29 primary schools took part in the READ Challenge. 903 fourth graders read 1,500 minutes or more before winter break, the highest attendance rate since 2014.
Death
On July 26, 2007, Prosser passed out in his office around noon after jogging on the Kentner Stadium track, near his office at the Manchester Sports Center on the Wake Forest Campus. The employee found that he did not answer at around 12:45 pm; The medical staff performed CPR and used a defibrillator to revive Prosser.He was rushed to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 1:41 pm from an apparent “sudden massive heart attack.” He was 56 years old.
The announcement of Prosser’s death was delayed until a later time because his wife was on her way to Cincinnati but had not yet heard. The players were rounded up and transported off campus without cell phones to keep them from reporting Prosser’s death.
Prosser had lunch the previous day with his predecessor as Wake Forest coach, then University of South Carolina coach Dave Odom.Prosser then had lunch with his son Mark, who was also recruiting in Florida, before flying to North Carolina on Thursday morning.
Two funeral masses were held for Prosser. The first was on July 31, 2007 at the Sagrada Familia Catholic Church in Clemmons, North Carolina, near the Wake Forest campus (due to limited space, this service was broadcast on closed-circuit television in Waite Chapel on campus). The second Mass was held on August 4, 2007 at the Syntas Center on the grounds of Xavier University in Cincinnati.Prosser was then buried in Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati.

Former members
History
The Catholic High School Athletic Association of New York (CHSAA) was formed in March 1927.The city’s Catholic schools competed with their gymnasium counterparts in baseball and athletics from about 1908 to 1922, but no larger organization emerged as a result of the competition. The city’s Catholic high schools remained largely disorganized, while their counterparts in cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia were organized into leagues for years. Finally, in 1927, the Southern Branch of the Catholic High School Athletic Association of New York organized a league competition with an athletics competition held at Fordham University on May 26, 1927.
The statutory league members were Fordham Prep, All Hallows, LaSalle. Academy, Regis, St. Ann and Xavier School are all in Manhattan; and Brooklyn Prep, Bishop Loughlin, Brooklyn Cathedral, St. John’s Prep and St. Francis Prep; everyone in Brooklyn.
In 1928, the CHSAA introduced athletics, basketball and baseball, and in 1929, cross-country and hockey. Swimming was added to the program in 1930. The basketball winner will compete with three other group winners in the state for the right to participate in the Loyola Catholic National Basketball Tournament in Chicago.AG Spalding & Co. provided two silver cups for baseball and football competitions. The first team to win a baseball or soccer league title three times will receive permanent cup ownership.
