NEW HAVEN, CT (February 28, 2011)- University of the Sciences head women’s basketball coach Paul Stadelberger was voted in as the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year by his peers as announced by the conference office today. 

Stadelberger was voted Coach of the Year in just his second season at USciences.

USciences ranks second in the conference in scoring defense (55.4) and scoring margin (+10.9), and tops the league in field-goal percentage defense (.343). The Devils enter postseason play having won 15 of their last 16 games. 

In his two seasons at the helm at USciences, Stadelberger has compiled a 33-20 record.  He joins Nate Ware (2004) as the only coaches in program history to earn CACC Coach of the Year honors.    

Prior to becoming the Devils head coach, Stadelberger served as an assistant women’s basketball coach at Philadelphia University for the past 20 seasons.  Before joining the Rams in 1989, Stadelberger served as assistant men's basketball coach at Haverford College for six years.
