Division 1
Obando has been instrumental in producing some of the program's best goalkeepers. In 2019, he coached Andrew Verdi to Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year honors and a school record for lowest goals-against average (0.78, minimum 1,000 minutes). After Verdi went down with an injury late in the season, Obando quickly installed freshman Owen Finnerty between the pipes. Finnerty played every minute of the final seven matches, which included runs to the Big Ten Tournament final and the NCAA Sweet 16. Between the two of them, U-M had 11 shutouts in 2019, most in a single season in school history. Four of the five spots behind Verdi on the school's all-time list for lowest GAA were coached by Obando, including Henry Mashburn (0.81 in 2018), Verdi (1.02 in 2017) and Evan Louro (1.05 in 2015).
With Obando's goalkeepers in net, U-M has set, then tied, the school record for fewest goals allowed in a season, conceding 18 goals in both 2018 and 2019. Four of the top seven defenses in program history -- as judged by goals-against average -- have come in the last five years under Obando's watch (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019). He's mentored 2012 All-Big Ten second-team honoree Adam Grinwis (formerly of Orlando City SC) and fellow program alum Evan Louro (formerly of the New York Red Bulls).
A native of Colombia, Obando possesses a USSF National C License, as well as an NSCAA Level III goalkeeping certificate. He played in 44 career matches (42 starts) as a goalkeeper at Providence under the guidance of Chaka Daley as a student-athlete, helping the Friars to a 24-14-4 record and recording 13 shutouts. In 2010, Obando helped the Friars to the championship game of the Big East Tournament and was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Additionally, he was part of three Providence teams that made the NCAA Tournament. During the last two seasons, the Friars hosted an NCAA Tournament first-round match for the first times in school history, and advanced to the second round on each occasion. He was one of four goalkeepers invited to the 2012 adidas MLS Player Combine and most recently played for the Des Moines Menace in the Premier Development League.

In addition to four victories over NCAA Top 25 teams, Gores helped coach yet another Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in Blake Bodily, who tallied three goals and eight assists.

In addition, Justin Fiddes was selected in the first round of the MLS Superdraft by the Vancouver Whitecaps while Handwalla Bwana signed as a Homegrown Selection with Sounders FC.
2016 saw Gores and the Huskies make it to the third round of the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years. The Huskies went 14-7-0 that year, outscoring the opposition by 15 goals over the 21-game season. Gores helped coach Handwalla Bwana to Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors, as well as All-Pac-12 honors for Auden Schilder, Henry Wingo, and Justin Schmidt.
In 2015, Gores helped the Huskies to an 8-5-6 record. The team allowed just 13 goals in 19 games. Ryan Herman was named an All-American and First Team All-Pac-12 that year, while Gores helped five other Huskies make it to the All-Pac-12 team.
Gores helped the Huskies to another tremendous season in his first year at UW, finishing with a record of 12-5-3 and a trip to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament in 2014. The Dawgs started the year 9-1-0 and earned their first No. 1 national ranking since 1997, before eventually being named the No. 14 seed in the NSCAA Tournament. Gores coached several players who earned honors in 2014, including Cristian Roldan and Andy Thoma who were named Third Team All-American by the NSCAA. Roldan and Darwin Jones were also each named to the First Team All-Pac-12 Team.
Gores comes to Washington from Florida Gulf Coast where he spent one season. For the Eagles, Gores helped FGCU become the first program in Atlantic Sun Conference history to win four straight regular-season championships courtesy of a 6-1-1 league record. After starting the season 0-5-1, including a loss to Washington, Eagles went 8-1-1 over their final 10 regular-season games. During that span FGCU out-scored its opponents 14-6, including 12-4 in A-Sun action.
Before joining the Eagles, Gores spent three seasons as an assistant coach for the Harvard mens soccer team, where he focused heavily on recruiting, and helped coach the team to numerous upsets against nationally ranked opponents.
Prior to beginning his coaching career, Gores spent eight years playing professionally for five different teams in the United Soccer League. Additionally, Gores served as captain of the Puerto Rico Mens National Team, competing in both the 2010 World Cup qualifiers and the 2005 Digicel Cup.
Gores played collegiately at Stanford alongside Clark, where they led the nation in scoring defense and helped the Cardinal finish second in the NCAA Tournament during the 1998 season. He graduated in 2000 with a degree in international relations.
In 2011 Gores received the FIFA recognized United States Soccer Federation National A License.

In all seven seasons at Case, Biancos teams have earned United Soccer Coaches Academic honors.

Kwame Oduro enters his tenth season as the head coach of the St. Bonaventure mens soccer team in 2024. Oduro was appointed the seventh head coach in the history of the program on Dec. 18, 2014.
During his time leading the program, Oduro has led a resurgence in Bonnies men's soccer. He has recruited and developed six Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team selections and four players have received A-10 Academic Team nods.
During the shortened spring 2021 season, the Bonnies posted a 4-4-1 mark. In 2022, the Bonnies remained in the hunt for the Atlantic 10 Tournament until the season's final day.
The Bonnies have also excelled in the classroom under Oduro, posting a 3.39 GPA during the 2021-22 academic year while the team has remained above a cumulative GPA of 3.0 during his entire tenure. His teams have earned national recognition for their academic success from the United Soccer Coaches Association and recognized by the NCAA for standout Academic Progress Rate (APR).
In 2017, Oduro guided the Bonnies to an 8-9-2 overall record including a 4-4 mark in Atlantic 10 play and a spot in the A-10 Tournament for the first time since 2010. The team also registered five shutouts, the most for the program in seven years. Oduro's group doubled their win total from the previous season and posted their first four-game winning streak in the A-10 since 1999. His squad found a way to win in dramatic fashion, going 4-1-2 in overtime games and earned an A-10 Tournament berth in the season's final day with a 2-1 victory over No. 22 VCU at home. The Bonnies also scored a win over Albany which was just outside the national Top 25 rankings at the time of SBU's victory, 1-0. Senior Kieran Toland was recognized as the National Player of the Week by both the United Soccer Coaches Association and NCAA for his work in the season's final week while Nicola Bonso was named to the Atlantic 10's All-Rookie Team.
In 2018, the Bonnies remained in the Atlantic 10 playoff race until the season's final day, finishing 7-9-1 overall. Senior Kosi Nwafornso was one of the league's top scorers, earning All-Atlantic 10 and United Soccer Coaches All-Region honors. Newcomer Isaac Boamah was another successful recruit for Oduro as he was named to the A-10's All-Rookie Team as well. Following the 2019 campaign, freshman Joshua Pulla earned a spot on the conference All-Rookie Team while Shea Currey was picked to the A-10 All-Academic Team.
Oduro has also been able to reunite the men's soccer alumni with the program. He was critical in establishing a Soccer Alumni Weekend, in partnership with the women's soccer team.
The first season under Oduro showed a young and inexperienced mens soccer team that showed fight throughout the 2015 season. Oduro was able to help lead the Bonnies to the programs first conference win in nearly two years, a road victory at George Washington - the 2015 Atlantic 10 Regular Season Champions. A year later, the Bonnies doubled their win total.
Before coming to St. Bonaventure, Oduro was an assistant coach at Canisius College for four seasons. During his time there under head coach Dermot McGrane, Oduro helped turn around the fortunes of the Canisius program. In the 2014 season, the Golden Griffins set a school record for wins in a season with nine -- eight of the wins coming by shutout. Oduro recruited nationally-ranked high school players, All-North Atlantic Team Regional All-American players and 30 players who made the All-MAAC Academic Team. Each of the past two seasons, Canisius received the NSCAA Academic Team Award with a team GPA of at least 3.0. During Oduro's time at Canisius, the squad was ranked 30th in the nation in scoring offense in 2012 and received National Soccer Coaches Association of America top 25 votes numerous times.
In addition to his duties at Canisius, Oduro is also a coach for the New England Revolution Empire Youth Club team. He led the squad to two state cup championships as well as co-champions of the US Soccer Region 1 League during the 2012-13 campaign.
Prior to joining the Griffs, Oduro was a part of the coaching staff at Division II Nyack College. In his first season with Nyack, the squad won its first conference title at the Division II level, not allowing a single goal in the playoffs. While at Nyack, Oduro recruited and mentored three All-American players.
As a player, Oduro was a standout for the Niagara Purple Eagles from 2004 to 2006, helping Niagara earn back-to-back MAAC Tournament bids for the first time in the program's history during his junior and senior campaigns. In 2006, Oduro captained the Purple Eagles to one of the most successful seasons in school history. Niagara placed second in the MAAC standings, the program's highest finish, and ranked fifth in the NSCAA North Atlantic Region. He was named to the MAAC All-Tournament Team and also earned team MVP honors.
Oduro, who was born in Accra, Ghana and grew up in Toronto, Ontario, earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Niagara in 2007. He was a two-time MAAC All-Academic Team honoree, while also earning selection to the 2005 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Second Team. Oduro also holds master's degrees in organizational leadership from Nyack and sports administration from Canisius.
Bill Boyle enters his fifth season as the head coach of Niagara men's soccer in 2020. Boyle was hired in January 2016 after assistant coaching stints at Michigan State University, Colgate University and, most recently, the University at Albany.
Last season, Niagara improved to a 5-12-1 record and went 3-6-1 in conference play. The five wins in a year set a new best for Boyle as the Purple Eagles' head coach, and tied his high set during the 2016 season. The five wins were the most for the squad in a single season since 2014.
2018 saw the Purple Eagles go 2-14-2 overall with a 1-9-0 mark against MAAC opponents. Five players were named to the MAAC All-Academic Team at season's end.
In 2017, the Purple Eagles went 1-8-1 against MAAC teams and 2-14-2 overall. For the second straight season under Boyle, the Purple Eagles landed a player on the MAAC's All-Rookie Team, freshman back Matthew Krucko-Moeller. Nine Purple Eagles players were named to the 2017 MAAC All-Academic Team, the most since 2012 and tied for the second-most ever in program history.
In his first season leading the Purple Eagles, Boyle guided the team to a 3-6-1 record in the MAAC (4-11-2 overall). Niagara earned its first-ever win over the Quinnipiac Bobcats on Sept. 25, 2016, a 1-0 overtime victory. The team was led by 2016 MAAC All-Rookie Team midfielder Mackenzie Roach. Boyle's team also excelled in the classroom. Seven of 12 eligible players were named to the 2016 MAAC All-Academic Team, and senior back Konrad Zydowicz was honored as a CoSIDA Academic All-District Team member.
Prior to Niagara, Boyle spent five seasons coaching collegiate soccer in New York state. In his second season at UAlbany in 2015, Boyle helped the Great Danes to their first-ever America East regular-season title en route to being named the America East's Coaching Staff of the Year. UAlbany also had three student-athletes named to the conference's first-team, one to the second team selection, one to the rookie team, two to the all-academic team and had the striker of the year.
This year Boyle led his team in the Spring of 2021 to 5 straight victories in league and a 3rd place finish. The most consecutive wins since 2003. Boyle was named Coach of the Year at Niagara.

EXACT Sports Camp is a key component to being recruited as an athlete. The camp provides you with an opportunity to meet, interact, and train with college coaches from different schools around the nation from different levels. EXACT Sports provides you with insights into improving your chance of being seen and recruited by college coaches. It was one of the best decisions I made in my recruiting process.
Parent
I brought my son to this camp not really knowing what to expect and was concerned about how young he was for the camp, since it appears designed around high school level players. I was surprised by the in-depth amount of information that EXACT provided us regarding how to prepare for the college recruitment process. Without a doubt, we would have missed out on the opportunity to know how the process works and the information you provided was insightful and we have confidence moving forward as our son moves into high school and college beyond.
Great job and we look forward to attending more EXACT camps, as well as introduce my younger son to the camps when the time is right. Thank you!
Player
I was surprised to see so many coaches, and having them available to talk to. I wish I would have known about EXACT Sports Elite Camp my junior year. I left feeling like I had personal attention from coaches, and got a better grip on how to navigate the college sports recruitment process.
Great experience meeting coaches, and having the discussion panel with coaches and parents. The games were fun and challenging, which I really enjoyed. Thanks EXACT!
Player
I loved the style of training and playing at the camp. They were open to changes with certain age restrictions and skill differences (as I am one of the younger athletes). Also, I loved how we were able to meet each coach privately, as well as during training. Lastly, the elevator pitch practice was unique and beneficial as it prepares me for the future.
Player
This was a wonderful opportunity to meet coaches and other players in a completely different format. There is a chance to show individual skills that may not be seen in a regular soccer tournament environment. The interaction with coaches is outstanding and I really feel that I was able to get exposure from EXACT that I would not have anywhere else. Thanks for a great session and options to see so many coaches. I can't wait to see where this opportunity leads me!
Player
Through this one day camp, EXACT Soccer has made me realize that my dream is so possible to reach. It's the only camp I've been to, but I was able to meet so many new people who share the same passion as me. I also learned how to elevate my recruiting game to reach my goal much easier.
Parent
The information shared throughout the camp was priceless. EXACT Sports and the coaches were so approachable and willing to share all and any knowledge to the athletes and the parents. (line break) Our son is entering 10th grade and we were not aware of any such camps. He attended a showcase with the HS JV team last summer, but they did not share any information. He attended a college sponsored team camp the week before the EXACT Camp and there were only 5 college coaches that attended that camp. We were so happy with the EXACT's structure and all the opportunities that they give the athletes and parents to ask questions. We will attend another camp before our son graduates HS. Thank you!
Parent
I attended the camp with my son. The information that the EXACT personnel provided was excellent. We are now much more informed regarding the college recruiting and scholarship qualification's. The coaches that mentored the boys were also very knowledgeable, devoted, and fun. The rating that was provided after the camp was very helpful to help guide my son with his future training. The camp helped to boost my son's confidence and love for the game. I cannot say enough about the camp. You guys are the best ! Thanks for your efforts!
Player
I had an amazing experience at EXACT Camp. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk face-to-face with so many coaches from around the country. I also enjoyed the opportunity to train with new coaches. I am looking forward to visiting coaches that I met at their schools and getting to take a closer look at their programs. It was also cool to meet so many fellow athletes from other places and make new friends. Thank you so much for everything!! Thank you!!!

This is the first ID Camp that I have attended and it was a positive experience in every way. The camp was very well organized leading up to the camp with very informative emails and preparation work for the camp. On the day of the camp, registration was well organized and the EXACT team was there to help for every step of the way. Chris was an excellent leader and motivated me from the very beginning. It was amazing to be exposed to real college coaches and to be coached both on and off the field. Getting feedback on the day was very rewarding. I am looking forward to attending EXACT Soccer Academic 50 ID Camp in June/July.
Player
I went to the first ID Camp in Philly. We were so encouraged that we attended this one in DC. I have always dreamed about 1) going to college and 2) playing soccer in college. I got to meet a lot of great coaches and athletes. I learned something new at each camp. I wish there were more camps close to me so we could attend more. I am a senior and need all the help I can get in hopes to find the right college. I loved how the coaches were there to help us and give us directions on the spot. My mentor Coach was Mike Eckberg. Towson is on my "dream" list - and we are now going to schedule a visit as he suggested. I am so excited and I know I still have a long road ahead, but every journey has a beginning. Even though I am getting started a little late, I feel like EXACT really has helped me come flying out of the gate!
Player
The best part about the Exact ID camp was the ability to have one-on-one conversation with 30+ college soccer coaches from all over the United States. These coaches were not only from different part of the country, but also coaches at different levels. They say a big part of getting recruited is building relationships with the coaches, and I believe this was a great way to get started! This camp gave us, athletes, the opportunity to learn the basics of college recruiting, the qualities the coaches looking for in a player, and overall get great tips from them.
Parent
The numerous pieces of advice for student athletes was really good. This camp was a confidence builder for my son, and also empowering. Thanks for a well organized and educational camp.
