Camie Bechtold holds the distinction as the only person in conference history to serve as a student-athlete, head coach and league administrator.  Bechtold played just one year in the GLVC, but is widely regarded as one of the most influential women's soccer players in Quincy history.  She finished her career as the 1994-95 College Sports Female Division II Athlete of the Year, a second-team National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-American, an All-America Scholar-Athlete selection, and a member of two NCAA Championship National Semifinalist squads.  After working at Quincy for nearly two years following her graduation, Bechtold remained within the GLVC footprint and took the position as the assistant director of career services at Saint Joseph's College in October of 1997.  In 1999, Bechtold moved over to the SJC athletics department as the associate athletics director for compliance and was promoted to head women's soccer coach – a position she held for two seasons with a 22-16-2 (.575) overall record and a 14-8-0 (.636) mark in league play.  Bechtold was then hired by the GLVC in 2001 as the first-ever full-time assistant commissioner in charge of compliance.  After nearly four years in the league office and more than a decade spent in conference-related business, Bechtold left the GLVC in March of 2005 to become the associate athletics director for student and compliance services at Montana State University, a position in which she also serves as senior woman administrator.
