Jacksonville State (AL)
Division 1
JACKSONVILLE Jacksonville State has hired a proven winner at multiple levels to lead its women's soccer program with the hiring of Sean Fraser on Thursday.
Athletics Director Greg Seitz announced the hiring of Fraser as just the fourth head coach in the program's history. He joins the Gamecocks from ULM, where he took over a program that hadn't won more than eight games in the previous 14 years and won at least eight in two of his three seasons.
In 10 seasons as a head coach, he has compiled a 120-69-12 record on the field and won three conference titles, two in Division II and one in NAIA. Jax State is his fourth head coaching stop after coaching the men's team at NAIA Midland University from 2011-14 and the women's teams at Div. II Lincoln Memorial from 2017-19 and Division I ULM from 2020-22.
"We're thrilled to welcome Sean Fraser to the Gamecock Family and are excited about the future of our soccer program under his guidance," Seitz said. "He has a proven track record of building programs that excel both on the field and in the classroom, and we are looking forward to the future of Gamecock Soccer as we move into Conference USA under his leadership."
That move into JSU's new conference home will begin immediately for Fraser. Who will lead the Gamecocks into C-USA in his first season in 2023.
"I want to thank Greg Seitz and Greg Bonds for the opportunity to lead JSU soccer moving forward," Fraser said. "Athletics and the University as a whole are both on an upward trajectory and I'm excited to be a part of the athletic department and can't wait to contribute to the university's success."
Fraser takes over a JSU program that went 3-13-2 in its last season in the ASUN Conference in 2022, a task that is not foreign to him. All three of his previous head coaching jobs won four or fewer games the year before his hiring and he produced double-digit wins in either the first or second seasons at all three.
At ULM, he took over a team that also went 3-13-2 prior to his arrival and had 14 wins by season's end of his second season in Monroe, La. That 2021 Warhawks team had a program-best RPI of 128 and won in the postseason twice with Sun Belt Tournament wins over Troy and No. 1 seed Arkansas State after not holding a postseason win since 2004.
He also claimed three United States Soccer Coaches Team Academic Awards in three seasons at ULM, while also earning the United States Soccer Coaches Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award in 2020. He also had two All-Sun Belt players, matching the total number of honorees the school had in its 15 previous seasons in the conference.
Fraser was hired at ULM after a three-year stint at Lincoln Memorial in Harrogate, Tenn., that saw him take over a team that went 3-10-2 and then post a 38-20-2 record and win two South Atlantic Conference titles over his tenure. He won seven games in his first season before posting a 14-5-2 record in 2018 and a 17-5 record in 2019, winning the SAC Tournament in both of those campaigns. He was the 2018 SAC Coach of the Year after leading LMU to the NCAA Division II Sweet 16. One year later, he led the Railsplitters to the Round of 32.
At LMU, Fraser coached 10 All-SAC selections and seven All-Southeast Region player, as well as one SAC Freshman of the Year. He also led LMU to an impressive run in the classroom, where his 2019 squad placed 19 student-athletes on the SAC Honor Roll and posted a team GPA of 3.38.
Prior to his time at LMU, he was the Assistant Men's Coach at the University of Charleston in Charleston, W.Va. for the 2016 season. The Golden Eagles went 19-3-2 with a Division II Nation Runner-Up finish, while also claiming the Mountain East regular season and tournament titles. Charleston won the Atlantic Region title, had three All-Americans and eight All-MEC players, while also claiming the Team Academic Award for that season.
From 2011-15, Fraser turned the Midland men's team around. He took over a Warriors team that went 4-10-2 prior to his arrival and posted double-digit wins in each of his four seasons. MU went 53-25-6 under his guidance, including the 2013 Great Plains Athletic Conference Tournament title.
Midland reached the conference championship in all four seasons under Fraser, who coached 32 All-GPAC players and three All-Americans.
He got his coaching career started as a graduate assistant at his alma mater of Bethel University from 2008-10, winning a 2008 NAIA National Championship and the 2009 TranSouth Conference crown.
A native of Durham, England, Fraser received his bachelor's degree in PE, teaching and coaching from Bethel in 2008. He also has a master's degree in education from Bethel, as well as a master's in strategic leadership from Charleston and an MBA from Southwestern College.

Player
I loved that I was able to communicate and work with a variety of different coaches. It was an eye opening experience and I was surprised how sociable I was with the other girls at the camp, because I am usually shy and don't want to talk to people. Thank you and two thumbs up to you for getting me out of my shell.
Player
EXACT is a very good way to promote yourself if you are wanting to play at the next level. The most inspiring thing about EXACT is that they want everyone to believe in themselves, which goes a long way when you are trying to be your best.
The camp was very well run, and it is essential that everyone try to go to at least one EXACT camp while they still have the opportunity.
Player
EXACT offers a great experience that blends on field training in a college atmosphere with off field soft skills needed to help become a better candidate for recruitment. The coaches provide excellent, real world feedback to parents and athletes on what and what not to do. Overall its a great experience that provides insight that will serve the players and the parents well during the recruiting period.
Player
I was very satisfied with the program and how it was run. Being new to these types of experiences and camps, I was happy to see how the staff was kind and helpful to all the athletes. I know that in the future if an opportunity like this swings around the corner I will have no trouble snatching it. I had an amazing time at this camp and hope it happens again. Thank you to all for hosting it. Also having celebrity's host a camp like this one makes it very special to a lot of the athletes.
Player
I loved the environment of the EXACT camp. It's so different from other camps because it takes into account the mental aspect of the game instead of just the physical aspect. The environment was friendly and welcome, and this camp gave me a giant boost of confidence whether for striking up a conversation with a college coach or just on the field. It was very informative and I feel like I'm on the right track for being recruited at a college that is the right fit for me. Thank you!
Player
The EXACT Camp was really informative and challenging. The coaches were very honest and gave me some really good information and tips, which I really enjoyed it.
Overall, it was an excellent camp experience, wish I lived in America to visit more ID camps, coaches gave me much more coaching and training then my own coaches, so it was good to see that I can pick it up a bit to improve my overall performances. I have gone MENTALLLLL!!!!!!!
Player
The staff, the players, and the coaches that were apart of this camp were such genuine and caring people that I really felt welcome when I stepped on the field. Also, it was just a really fun experience where I had the chance to interact with fellow soccer lovers and I learned so much. I have to give it 10 out of 10 soccer balls.
This is one of the first times I've had the opportunity to interact so closely with college coaches and it really opened up my eyes not only to the opportunities that are available to me, but also the personalities of these coaches. They truly care about the improvement and development of their players and it's so wonderful spending time with such professional and involved people.
Parent
I was impressed with the overall flow and their ability to adapt to adverse scheduling conflicts from the facility. This is a great opportunity for my daughter to see beyond the club and school soccer, and the annoying reminding from us. It helps keep her motivated and going in the direction she wants to go with this sport. We'll definitely return to future camps. I as a parent was able to network with parents of older girls as well which helps me greatly in the posit of my daughters goals.
Player
I really appreciated the atmosphere that EXACT Sports Elite Camp provided. Everyone was included in any drill or game we were doing. It was an awesome experience to meet girls I've never seen before early in the morning, practice drills and techniques with them, and play with them/against them later in the same day. It is very different than practicing with the same team every day, every year. It was an experience to go out on a field with complete strangers and interact with them on the field. I also loved the number of college coaches who were at the camp. Especially at my young age, I haven't yet focused on one or two schools yet, so having a wide variety coaches from different schools and levels was exactly what I needed and was looking for.
Parent
My daughter had a great time. The coaches were professional and very approachable. The question and answer panel with the coaches was informative. There was more interaction between the players and coaches than I expected from attending other "camps". The coaches really made an effort to be available when not on the field. I would highly recommend this experience to others. Soccer players can never get enough exposure for a reasonable price, nor can they gain enough experience playing with girls that are unknown to them.
