MANCHESTER, N.H. – Southern New Hampshire University
Director of Athletics Chip Polak announced Wednesday that Scott
Loiseau, an assistant baseball coach at Franklin Pierce University
for the past three seasons and former standout for the Ravens, has
been named the head baseball coach at SNHU effective immediately.
Loiseau becomes the sixth head coach in the 44-year history of the
program.
“We are confident that Scott is the right person to lead our
baseball team into the future,” said Polak. “During the
interview process, his passion for coaching and for the game shone
through. Combine that with his role with one of the top programs in
not only the Northeast-10, but in all of Division II baseball, and
I have no doubt Scott has the ability to lead the program to new
heights.”
Loiseau, a native of Worcester, MA, has spent the last three
seasons as an assistant coach at Franklin Pierce while also serving
as the head coach of the Ravens’ junior varsity squad. He
also was an assistant coach with the program during the 2003
season. The Ravens captured NCAA Northeast Region titles and
advanced to the Division II College World Series in each of those
years.
During Loiseau’s two stints, Franklin Pierce produced three
Northeast-10 Players of the Year, one Pitcher of the Year and over
30 NE-10 All-Conference selections. In addition, 12 former players
that Loiseau coached have advanced to professional baseball.
In between stints in Rindge, Loiseau spent the 2004-05 season as
the top assistant at Division I Holy Cross, where he worked
primarily with the infielders and hitters. He also spent the 2007
season as an assistant coach with the Brewster Whitecaps of the
prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League. In 2007-08, Loiseau also
served as the coach of the Franklin Pierce ice hockey team, which
tied the school record for victories in a season while having two
players named Northeast-10 All-Conference and a third named the
NE-10 Co-Freshman of the Year.
Loiseau played professionally for two seasons with the Can-Am
League’s Worcester Tornadoes, playing under former MLB
All-Star catcher Rich Gedman. He helped the Tornadoes to a Can-Am
League title in 2005.
A 2002 graduate of Franklin Pierce with a degree in marketing,
Loiseau was a four-year starter for the Ravens and garnered NE-10
All-Conference and Rawlings All-Region honors as a senior. He ranks
among the FPU career leaders in a number of categories, including
runs scored (1st), hits (3rd), batting average (8th) and home runs
(8th).
