Sally Baum will forever hold the distinction of being
Goucher’s first head coach to be chosen Coach of the Year in
the Landmark Conference.
In a vote by the conference’s head coaches, Baum was selected
Landmark Coach of the Year for 2007-08 as a reward for guiding the
Gophers to an 11-8 record and a spot in the conference’s
postseason tournament. She earned the same honor while Goucher was
a member of the Capital Athletic Conference, being voted Co-Coach
of the Year in the CAC in 2004-05. Her 1986-87 squad won 18
matches, which still stands as a single-season school record.
Baum, who has logged 26 seasons as the head coach of the Gophers,
and her husband, Michael, are the parents of four sons, the
youngest of which, Steve, is a sophomore on Goucher’s
men’s tennis team.
