Last year, Gwynedd went 19-9 and was selected for the ECAC Tournament, the team’s fourth-postseason appearance in a row. Mondillo won the PAC Coach of the Year in just his second season after a four-game improvement and a first-ever berth in the conference tournament. The Griffins hit another milestone in 1998-99, playing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, as an at-large bid. Again, Mondillo was named coach of the year for the second-straight season, leading the Griffins to 24 wins and a perfect 16-0 in PAC play. In the following year, Mondillo's team ran off the first of five-straight 20-win seasons, 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. The season was also highlighted by his 100th career coaching win at Immaculata on January 13th, 2001. During the 2002-03 season, 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. In 2003-04, the Griffins earned its fifth NCAA Tournament appearance and notched a program-record 26 wins. The 2005-06 season marked two milestones. On December 5th, Mondillo won his 200th career game in a win over Eastern. The Griffins then went on as the first team in the history of the league to go undefeated in regular season and tournament play in its path to a fourth league crown. The team repeated its unbeaten league mark in 2006-07, going 26-3, its best record ever, as the team captured its second-straight conference crown. Mondillo was honored with his fifth PAC Coach of the Year Award. Gwynedd was denied a three-peat in 2007-08, but made its first ECAC Tournament showing with an overall mark of 22-7. He is ranked 50th among the all-time winningest coaches in Divisions I, II, and III and 45th amongst all active coaches and 20th in Division III.
