Mike Threehouse Position: Head Coach Experience: 12th season

Mike Threehouse enters his 12th season in charge as the all-time winningest coach in St. Bonaventure softball history with 168 career wins.

Since his arrival as the head softball coach, Threehouse has built the Bonnies into a rising contender in the Atlantic 10. His tireless recruiting efforts and on-the-field instruction have pushed the Bonnies into perennial challengers for postseason play.

Last season, Threehouse guided his club to its second-straight season with a .500 or better record finishing 18-18. After overcoming multiple injuries to key players throughout the year, the Bonnies went into the season's final series with a chance to qualify for the Atlantic 10 Tournament for a third year in a row.

Following the 2007 campaign, freshman Sherri Thompson and junior Brianna Bricker became the 11th and 12th players to earn All-Conference honors under Threehouse. Thompson was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team after finishing with a league low 1.15 ERA while Bricker was selected to the Academic All-Conference team with a 3.9 GPA.

Threehouse directed the Bonnies to its best season in school history during the 2006 season. The Brown and White finished with a 23-22 overall record for the program's first winning season ever. Their 23 overall victories and 14 conference wins were also program records. St. Bonaventure earned its second straight trip to postseason play and advanced to the second round of the Atlantic 10 tournament. For his efforts throughout the 2006 campaign, Threehouse was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year.

Following the Bonnies record 2006 season, five members of the Brown and White received All-Conference accolades. Sophomore pitcher/third basemen Brianna Bricker was named to the All-Conference first team, junior pitcher Christine Keleher and senior outfielder Lauren Krieger were named to the second team and senior outfielder Kristin Brunetto was an honorable mention choice. In addition, Krieger, Kristin Brunetto and her twin sister Joelle Brunetto were named to the Academic All-Conference team.

In 2005, Threehouse orchestrated St. Bonaventure to its first ever trip to the Atlantic 10 Championship and set a then school record with eight wins in conference action. At the A-10 tournament, the Bonnies defeated Saint Joseph's in a 12 inning quarterfinals contest before losing to host Fordham in the semifinals after 9 innings of play. Threehouse and the Bonnies displayed their resilience throughout the season after fighting back from a brutal non-conference schedule that dealt them a 0-11 record to start the year. The Brown and White went on to finish the season with a 14-26 record, including an 8-6 mark in the A-10.

In the 2003 campaign, Threehouse coached the Bonnies to the Virginia Tech Round Robin Tournament title and tied a then program record for most wins in a season with 19.

Under the direction of Threehouse, the Bonnies have made major strides in the classroom since his appointment as head coach. The Brown and White have placed a member on the Academic All-Conference team five seasons in a row as well as receiving multiple national awards for his student-athlete's work in class. Following the 2005-06 academic year, the softball team finished with the highest GPA in Division I with a 3.590 average. Furthermore, Joelle Brunetto and Lauren Krieger were named to the 2006 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America softball team a year after Kim Dodson and Laurie Stone garnered the same honor.

Since Threehouse took over the program in 1997, McGraw-Jennings Field has undergone extensive renovations to put it among the top softball facilities in the Atlantic 10. In the summer of 2002, the field underwent a complete regrading and reconstruction.

Threehouse's background in baseball, softball and his eye for talent has earned him the respect of softball coaches across the region, who have featured the former Bona baseball player as a counselor at their camps. Threehouse began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant with the St. Bonaventure baseball team. He assisted current Bona coach Larry Sudbrook during the 1994 and 1995 seasons when the Bonnies advanced to the Atlantic 10 playoffs in both years.

He also had a stellar baseball career at St. Bonaventure as a player. As a senior, he batted a single-season school record .422, which was second in the Atlantic 10 and 26th in the nation. That same season he led the team in virtually every offensive category.

Threehouse and his wife, the former Liz Crisafulli, were married in the fall of 2004 and reside in Olean.
