GREENSBORO, N.C. – Southern New Hampshire University baseball head coach Scott Loiseau was chosen as the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) East Region Coach of the Year on Tuesday.

Loiseau, who earned his sixth NE10 Coach of the Year honor, including his third straight, and fourth NCBWA East Region Coach of the Year last month, is the ABCA East Region Coach of the Year for the fifth time (2012, 2018, 2021, 2022). He guided the Penmen to a 44-13 mark, including a stellar 23-1 record in NE10 play to win the NE10 Northeast Division for the sixth straight season and seventh time, overall, with the .958 winning percentage in league play ranking as the second best in the history of the conference. SNHU won a program-record 24 straight games from March 24-April 28, with the winning streak serving as the longest in the nation at any level, while it was active. The Penmen, who finished the season ranked fourth in the Collegiate Baseball Division II Poll and fifth in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II Top 25, captured their fifth NCAA East Regional Championship, including their third straight, and won a pair of games at the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship in Cary, N.C., to advance to the national semifinal for the second time in program history.

Loiseau, who is in his 15th year as the head coach at SNHU, has coached 12 complete seasons with the Penmen (2015 he served as an assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma, while 2020 and 2021 were pandemic shortened) and won 40-or-more-games eight times. He owns a career record of 480-209-2 (.696) at SNHU, which is a more impressive 423-136 (.757) over 11 seasons when not counting the first three campaigns that did not include a full roster of his own recruits.
