Mike Bridges, Head Coach
The Lady Mustangs are led by Head Coach Mike
Bridges.
Coach Bridges was an outstanding High School
athlete excelling in basketball and baseball. He began his
coaching career under the tutelage of Scarborough High School
Athletic Director Larry Jensen.
After coaching freshman basketball for two
seasons, Coach B took over a stagnant womens
varsity team that had not qualified for the tournament in eight
seasons. Bridges proceeded to lead the Lady Redskins to seven
straight tournament appearances.
From there he moved on to Division III
Westbrook College where he took over a program that in its first
year, finished 2-16. Under Bridges direction, they then won the
Mayflower Conference in his first two seasons.
Coach B retired in 1994 and came
out of retirement in 1997 to coach the newly formed Lady Mustangs.
Bridges was hired eight months in advance to recruit and build his
first squad.
With his reputation on the line, Coach B
has delivered four NNESCC and Yankee Conference Championships in
his first four seasons. His finale was taking his ladies to the
NSCAA National Tournament in Salina, Kansas and becoming the first
New England women's team to ever win a game at the Nationals in
Kansas.
Year in year out, the Mustangs can be counted
on to compete for the Yankee championship and the USCAA National
Championship.
