Assistant coach Joel Tyson is entering his third season with the Wofford men’s soccer team after spending the previous two years at Hofstra.
A native of Irmo, South Carolina, Tyson worked primarily with the goal keepers at Hofstra along with assisting in all aspects of the day-to-day operations. In 2010 the team recorded nine shutouts with a 1.12 goals against average. In his first season on the staff, the goalkeepers had seven shutouts.
Tyson is the former starting goalkeeper at Coker College, where he graduated in 2008 with a degree in history (and a minor in English). He tallied a 1.85 goals against average as a senior for the Cobras, when he helped the program to the highest win total in school history. He was also named a team captain as both a junior and senior.
