West Chester University Athletics

A two-time All-American and former team captain under legendary head coach Mel Lorback, Bob Leib helped continue West Chester University's tradition of excellence on the pitch in the mid 1960s while a member of the men's soccer squad. The Golden Rams authored a record of 32-11-1 while Leib took home All-America honors in both 1965 and 1966.

But, as special as his playing career was at West Chester University, Leib's professional career as a coach and mentor to youth soccer up and down the Eastern Seaboard has been equally impressive. During his 30-year coaching career at University of Maine-Farmington, he was named coach of the year at the conference, state and regional level nine times and coached 17 All-Americans, including 13 Academic All-Americans. He was active in his community and responsible for bringing recreational soccer to Farmington, which led to the establishment of a men's and women's soccer program at the local high school. Leib served as head coach of the men's program at Maine-Farmington for 25 years and the women's program for 11 years, guiding both programs at the same time for seven seasons.

In 2001, Leib was awarded the Gene Davis Memorial Alumni Soccer Award for his service to developing youth soccer. Among his outstanding achievements during his 30-year career, Leib authored a record of over 800 wins and a pair of NAIA national championship appearances.
