Head Coach Barb Bausch

Barb Bausch begins her ninth season as Guilford's coach with a 142-69 (.673) record and has the most wins among Guilford's six head women's basketball coaches. A two-time Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Coach of the Year, her Guilford teams average over 17 wins per season and have set seven team records and 26 individual standards.

Including one year as the interim head coach at Pomona-Pitzer Colleges, Bausch owns a 155-81 (.666) overall record nine seasons.

In 2001 Bausch's squad set the record for the most wins in a season (22). The team also won the school's first ODAC basketball title and notched it's first win in the NCAA Division III playoffs.

Bausch picked up her second ODAC Coach of the Year Award in 1999-2000 after leading the Quakers to a 19-7 mark, the third-highest win total in school history. That team took Guilford to the ODAC semifinals for the sixth time and Arden Miller '01 became the third Quaker to win the league's Player of the Year Award in Bausch's eight seasons. Seven Quakers have combined to win 11 all-conference awards in Bausch's tenure, including Laura Haynes '98, a two-time ODAC Player of the Year and All-American.

The league's head coaches awarded Bausch her first Coach of the Year Award in 1995 after she guided the Quakers to 20 victories and the first of four successive ODAC Tournament semifinal berths. Guilford and Roanoke are the only two teams to reach the ODAC Tournament semifinals in seven of the last eight years. Bausch helped the 1996-97 squad gain Guilford's first ODAC Tournament final berth.

Bausch came to Guilford in 1993 after coaching at Pomona-Pitzer in California where the team went 13-12. Bausch made assistant coaching stops at Cerritos College (1991-92) and Springfield College (1990-91).

While earning a master's degree in sport psychology from the California State University, Fullerton, Bausch coached the Katella H.S. girls' basketball team in Anaheim for three seasons. Her teams went 59-23 and made three appearances in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) playoffs. The 1989 team won the Southern Section, Southern Region and finished second in the state. The CIF and Orange County Register named Bausch their 1989 Girls' Basketball Coach of the Year.

Bausch has worked the past 11 years with the Hørsholm Invitational Basket Camp in Denmark as a coach and director.

Bausch received her associate of arts degree at Fullerton College and her bachelor's degree in physical education from Cal-State Fullerton in 1987. As a basketball and volleyball player at Fullerton College, she received the school's Academic Athlete of the Year Award in 1984. Cal-State Fullerton selected Bausch as its Graduate Student of the Year in 1989.

Bausch has chaired the ODAC Women's Basketball Committee and serves on Guilford's Quaker Club Executive Board. She also has worked as an Avanti! Leader in Guilford's student orientation program.
