Lorraine Busch took the reins of the Chestnut Hill College department of athletics in 1977 after the retirement of fellow inductee, Betty Buckley. Lorraine served as the College’s athletics director from 1977-1990, while coaching volleyball (1986-‘90), basketball (1990-1991), and softball (1977-89 & ‘90-‘91). Her dedication and passion for the sport of softball brought new life to the program in 1977, with the construction of a new field and a determination to win.

The 1982 team earned first place honors at the Beaver College Tournament. She continued to coach softball until 1989 and remained teaching and serving as athletic director until 1990.
