Head Coach (2003 - Present, 47-39)

Coach Levesque is entering his fourth season now with the Lady Bengals basketball program after taking over the reins in 2003. In his first three seasons, the Bengals have won a total of 47 games, won two Sunrise Conference championships, and made two NAIA National Tournament appearances.

During the 2005-06 campaign, Coach Levesque's team reeled off a school record 15 consecutive victories and went a perfect 10-0 in conference play including two playoff wins, before being ousted from the NAIA National Tournament by number one seed Cedarville University from Ohio. The good news is that the team returns all 5 starters from that team, and should have another record breaking year for the 2006-07 season.

Levesque, a Fort Kent native, also serves as the Women's Soccer Coach and has been extremely successful with that program as well, going a perfect 17-0 in 2006 before losing in the Regional Tournament.

Levesque began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, Thomas College, where he assisted with their soccer program for a year before heading north. Levesque was a standout striker for the Terriers from 1999-2001 and was a 3-time MAC 1st team selection, a constant on the top of the MAC scoring charts and an NAIA All-American Honorable Mention his senior year. Levesque graduated from Thomas College with a Bachelor's Degree in Sport Management in 2002.
