Lawrence University

Riley Woldt took the reins of the Lawrence University women's basketball program in 2018, and he has returned the Vikings to a place of prominence in the Midwest Conference.

Under Woldt's leadership, the Vikings made back-to-back appearances in the Midwest Conference Tournament in 2024 and 2025 while compiling a sterling record. Lawrence has posted a 33-19 record over the past two seasons, and that includes a 21-11 mark in conference play.

With six seasons under his belt, Woldt ranks second to only Hall of Fame Lawrence coach Amy Proctor with 62 victories. Woldt began his college coaching career at Lawrence when he served as an assistant under Proctor from 2005-07. During that stretch, Lawrence compiled a 32-16 record and qualified for the MWC Tournament in both seasons.

Woldt spent 10 seasons at St. Norbert College under legendary coach Connie Tilley. During that time, Woldt was a key component in seven MWC championships and seven NCAA Division III Tournament berths. St. Norbert compiled a 206-51 record during Woldt's tenure.

Woldt, who received a Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Coaching Staff of the Year award during his time at St. Norbert, has assisted in the development of one All-American, two D3hoops.com all-region selections and 27 all-conference performers. While working at St. Norbert, the Green Knights have finished in the top 20 in all of NCAA Division III for scoring defense, field goal percentage, assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio. 

Woldt, who served as the head girls' basketball coach at Green Bay Southwest High School from 1995-2005, earned a bachelor's degree in human development from UW-Green Bay in 1997. He also earned bachelor's degrees in special education and physical education and health from UW-Oshkosh. He received his master's degree in educational technology from Marian University in 2011.
