Greg Herdlick, ’93, ’96 MBA

Greg Herdlick, ’93, ’96 MBA, never dreamed of reaching 100 coaching victories, much less while coaching at his alma mater.

In his 10th season as head coach of the Rockhurst women’s soccer team, Herdlick captured his 100th win with a 3-0 victory over Lewis University at home on Oct. 21.

“This is a nice accomplishment,” he said. “The mainstay of our recent success has been our assistant coaches.” Herdlick currently has three of his former players, Kari Moeller, Theresa Hovanec and Jenny Bakalar, on his staff.

Herdlick has guided the Hawks to a 30-17-4 conference record and four postseason tournament appearances in their first four seasons in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. He has posted nine winning seasons and has the third highest winning percentage among GLVC coaches.

Prior to taking over the women’s program at Rockhurst in 1998, Herdlick was an assistant coach for the Hawks. He was also an assistant coach of the girls high school teams at Shawnee Mission South and Shawnee Mission East.

Herdlick received his undergraduate degree in accounting and his MBA at Rockhurst. He and his wife, Kelly, reside in Lee’s Summit, Mo., with their 3-year-old son, Sam.

A four-year starter for Rockhurst from 1990-93, Herdlick was a second-team All-American defender in 1992 and the team captain of the 1993 team. He played in the NAIA national tournament four consecutive years.
