Greensboro, NC -- Gregg Gebhard, the Greensboro College head women's lacrosse coach since 2004, has resigned his position. He has accepted the lead assistant women's lacrosse coach post at Bucknell University, an NCAA Division I institution and member of the Patriot League.

Gebhard led the 2007 Pride team to a 10-7 record and to the USA South championship game. Under his direction, GC won two USA South regular season championships and one conference tournament title. He compiled a 36-28 record and is the all-time wins leader among in women's lacrosse coaches at Greensboro College.

During his four years leading The Pride, Gebhard directed 31 all-conference players, four CoSIDA regional academic team picks, two all-region honorees, and three North-South All-Stars. He also coached the 2004 and 2007 USA South rookies of the year

"Gregg did an outstanding job at Greensboro College," said GC Athletics Director Kim Strable. "He has kept the program at the top of the USA South Conference and into a formidable regional competitor. He also did an outstanding job with numerous ancillary roles with the College. We wish him well in his move to the top level of collegiate lacrosse."

Gebhard coached the United States all-star team to a fourth place finish (out of 13 teams) at the 2007 Czechoslovakia Prague Cup. He coached an all star team in Prague in 2005, and also at the 2004 Down Under Cup in Melbourne, Australia.

Prior to arriving at Greensboro College, Gebhard was the head women's lacrosse coach at Pfeiffer University--his alma mater--from 1998 to 2002. During that time he guided the Falcons to the program's first-ever NCAA Division II national ranking. Gebhard was also head coach of Team Charlotte, a high school girl's lacrosse team.

Gebhard earned a bachelor's degree from Pfeiffer in 1998. He majored in sports management and minored in business administration. He also served as Pfeiffer's sports information director.

A native of Long Island, N.Y., Gebhard was a standout player at Pfeiffer University. A two-time team captain, he was picked to the All Deep South Conference team twice. In 1997, Gebhard was selected the Deep South Tournament's most valuable player.
