Keith Mondillo

Gwynedd-Mercy College has become a nationally recognized women's basketball power since the hiring of Head Coach Keith Mondillo in 1995.
Improving each season, his team in 1996-97 won four more games than his first season, finishing 13-11 overall and 9-7 in the conference, earning their first ever conference tournament berth and a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honor.

The Griffins received their first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in 1998-99 after having been ranked in the Mid-Atlantic Region all season. Mondillo was named coach of the year for the second-straight season. He led the Griffins to a program record 24 wins. and a perfect 16-0 in PAC play.

In only his third year, Mondillo's team ran off the first of five-straight 20-win seasons and has played in eight PAC Championships, winning back-to-back PAC titles in 1999-00, and 2000-01. During the 2001-02 season, Mondillo led a very young team to a first place regular season finish with a 15-1 PAC record and an overall record of 22-6 while making it to the PAC Championship game. In 2002-03, the Griffins again were the preseason favorite but started the season with just one win in its first eight games before launching an amazing 18-2 run to win the PAC Championship and receive yet another berth into the NCAA Tournament. A fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003-04 and an eighth-straight PAC title game appearance in 2004-05 proves the Griffins are consistenly knocking on the door for postseason play.

Coach Mondillo played high school basketball at Archbishop Kennedy from 1986-90. After playing his freshman year at Eastern College, he transferred to Beaver College and finished his career as a Scarlet Knight. His first year out of college, Mondillo served as an assistant coach for the men's basketball team at Gwynedd-Mercy before heading back to his alma matter for the 1994-95 season. After only one year, Mondillo was asked to take the helm of the women's basketball program at Gwynedd-Mercy where he remains today as the winningest coach in school history with a winning percentage of .717 and 196 wins.

Keith Mondillo resides in Schwenksville, Pa. with his wife Jen, new-born son Chase, and dogs Cal Ripken and Hoops.
