Scott Wells

Head Coach

Gardner-Webb

Division 1

The Coventry, England, native is the third head coach in the program's history. He comes to Gardner-Webb after building UNC Greensboro into a top-5 national program as Associate Head Coach and lead recruiter.
 
"First, I would like to thank President Dr. Downs for the ultimate decision on allowing me to be part of Gardner Webb University," said Wells. "I want to say a very special thank you to Dr. Goodrich, who has been a major factor in my decision. He is a winner, and it was evident early in the process that he is willing to be in the trenches with me as we start the new era of Bulldog Soccer. I want to thank UNC Greensboro and the entire athletics department, specifically Head Coach Chris Rich for giving me the opportunity to help elevate the team in to a top-5 program. Lastly, but most importantly, I want to thank my Wife Carissa Wells. There is a huge difference between a wife and a coach's wife. Thank you for all the sacrifice you have given our family and the support to ultimately be in this position today."
 
Wells helped engineer a sensational 2022 season for the Spartans, which started with a 10-match unbeaten streak in August and September. UNCG finished the campaign with a 13-2-6 mark, won the Southern Conference regular season and conference titles and advanced all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight with tournament wins over Ohio State and Stanford. The Spartans finished the 2022 season ranked in the top-25 nationally in 12 different statistical categories. UNCG ranked ninth in total goals, 10th in shot accuracy, 12th in goal differential, 13th in total points and winning percentage, 16th in scoring offense, 18th in total assists, 19th in points per game, 20th in shots on goal, 22nd in goals against average and corner kicks per game and 25th in assists per game.
 
UNCG earned its highest ever ranking in the final national polls, coming in at No. 5 when the United Soccer Coaches poll was released in mid-December. The Spartans cracked the top-25 in early September and moved back into the polls for good on October 11.
 
Sophomore midfielder J.C. Ngando earned first-team United Soccer Coaches All-America honors after scoring 22 points and posting 14 assists which ranked second nationally by season's end. A dozen Spartans earned postseason accolades from the Southern Conference in November.
 
Wells was also part of UNCG's 2021 SoCon championship during the spring, which saw Theo Collomb earn SoCon Freshman of the Year honors. Collomb went on to earn second-team All-America honors the following fall and was selected by Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft following his sophomore season.
 
Wells' first stint with the Spartans began in 2019 and success followed soon after. UNCG won six of its final seven regular season matches that season, won a conference regular season title and advanced all the way to the SoCon Tournament finals. 

Wells also spearheaded the recruitment of four top-25 recruiting classes for UNCG, providing the foundation for the program's recent success. The Spartans saw 23 student-athletes earn SoCon postseason honors during Wells' tenure.

Two of his recruits, Ngando and Joey Skinner, were selected in the first round of the 2023 MLS SuperDraft on December 21. Ngando was chosen No. 5 overall by Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Skinner was taken with the No. 11 overall pick by Nashville SC. Another, defender Ethan Conley, was drafted in the second round by New York Red Bulls.
 
"Our goal is to build a consistent soccer powerhouse at Gardner-Webb," underscored GWU President Dr. William Downs. "That means winning conference championships and making deep runs in the NCAA tournament...nothing less.  It takes energy, expertise, and a good measure of audacity to realize such a goal, and in Coach Scott Wells I believe we have found the right potent combination.  Scott knows he's got a turnaround project on his hands, and I'm confident he's up to the challenge."
 
Success has followed Wells at each of his career stops in the sport. He came to UNCG after a terrific two-year stint as the top assistant at the University of Charleston (WV). While there, he helped guide the team to a pair of NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances and the 2017 NCAA Division II National Championship. The Golden Eagles went 21-2-1 in 2017 and followed with an 18-1-2 mark and unbeaten regular season in 2018. Charleston outscored its opponents 54-3 during the 2018 campaign.
 
Wells' entrance into the college coaching ranks was sensational as well. He began as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Rio Grande (OH), helping the Red Storm to a 19-2-2 mark and a No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 regular season. The following season, as the program's top assistant, Wells saw Rio Grande win the 2015 NAIA National Championship and post a 25-2 record.

The 11th mentor in program annals, Ciano has meticulously positioned the Golden Knights within the upper echelon of the Northeast-10 Conference and on the precipice of national prominence.
 
Saint Rose has increased its win total throughout each of Cianos previous four years, which culminated in 2019 with the most successful season in the programs 38-year history.
 
The Golden Knights advanced to their first NE10 Championship semifinal and final matches, had a school record five players earn seven different All-Conference awards, recorded the first 10-win campaign in school annals, and on three occasions were ranked as high as sixth in the United Soccer Coaches East Region Weekly Poll. Saint Rose also finished second in the NE10 with a team 1.16 goals-against-average and lost only one home match all year.
 
The future holds promise as well. Three-fourths of last years roster was comprised of freshmen and sophomores.
Looking back, Saint Rose had a breakout season in 2018. The Golden Knights finished 8-7-1 overall and were ranked among the top eight teams in the Region in three separate United Soccer Coaches weekly polls.
 
Three years ago, Ciano guided Saint Rose to a sixth place finish in the NE10, which represented its then best ever finish throughout the programs 18-year NE10 tenure. It also represented the programs first postseason berth under Ciano.
 
Prior to his arrival on Western Avenue, Ciano served as an assistant coach for three years at nearby Siena College where he was engaged in recruiting, tactics and personnel decisions, goalkeeping training, analyzing game film, and running youth and college prospect camps.
 
He helped guide the Saints to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) semifinals in 2015 and a 10-win campaign in 2014. Sienas 10 wins were tied for the second most in school history. The Saints furthermore put together their first-ever undefeated home schedule (6-0-2) and were among those teams receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches poll for two weeks in mid-September. Ciano, whose duties primarily revolved around the squads goalkeepers, helped mentor 2014 MAAC All-Rookie pick John Weiss who registered six clean sheets, one shy of the school record. In addition, Weiss was a two-time MAAC and ECAC Defensive Player of the Week honoree.
 
Ciano, a four-year starter at Central Connecticut State (2005) and Manhattan (2006-08), previously worked as an assistant for former Siena head coach Cesar Markovic at NJIT in Newark, N.J. He managed the Highlanders goalkeepers who posted a 1.67 goals-against-average in 2012, after recording a 2.03 GAA the previous season; and a 1.44 GAA in 2013. Ciano also helped Markovic lead NJIT to its best ever NCAA Division I record with a 10-9 slate in 2012.
 
Ciano began his coaching career at Manhattanville where he helped direct the Valiants to a two-year 23-11-2 slate in 2009-10 and the 2009 Freedom Conference Regular-Season Championship.
 
Ciano played his freshman campaign at Central Connecticut State before moving on to Manhattan for his final three years. He appeared in 46 matches, with 45 starts, was named to the MAAC All-Academic Team, and graduated cum laude with a bachelors degree in physical education.
 
Ciano, who is originally from Syosset N.Y., has played semi-professional soccer for the Brooklyn Knights of the United States Soccer League PDL.
 
He holds a USSF B License, and United Soccer Coaches Premier and Advanced National Goalkeeping Diplomas. Ciano is a coaching education instructor for Eastern New York and US Soccer, and furthermore has experience with the NY Elite Alleycats FC Soccer Club, and the U.S. Region 1 and Eastern New York Olympic Development squads.
