Bluffton University has named Rhonda Gottschalk as its head women’s soccer coach.
Gottschalk, an assistant coach at Bowling Green State University the last two years, is the first full-time head coach in Bluffton women’s soccer history. Patrick (Rick) Nussbaum has been both the head men’s and women’s soccer coach since 2010 and, with the duties now split, has become the first full-time head coach of the men’s program.
