Jake Ouimet rejoined the GW men’s soccer staff as associate head coach in January 2013 following seven years as the head coach at Duquesne University.
Coach Ouimet helped guide the Colonials’ impressive turnaround in 2015 that included the program’s first 10-win season since 2011 and the Atlantic 10 regular-season title. GW was also ranked regionally for the first time in four years.
Ouimet returns to Foggy Bottom after spending seven seasons on former head coach George Lidster’s staff from 1999-2006, including his final year as associate head coach. Ouimet helped guide the Colonials to a pair of Atlantic 10 championships and NCAA Tournament berths in 2002 and 2004. During his tenure at GW, where he also served as recruiting coordinator, the Colonials reached the A-10 tournament four times.
A standout striker at the University of Maine from 1992-96, Ouimet was the 1992 North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year and a three-time regional All-American. He remains the Black Bears’ all-time leader in goals (36) and points scored (86). As a player in the professional ranks, Ouimet competed for the Worcester Wildfire of the A-League and the Cape Cod Crusaders of the USISL from 1997-99, leading both teams in scoring.
Ouimet holds a National and Advanced National coaching license from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
