Head Coach
nick@njit.edu
New Jersey Tech
Division 1
Nick is the new head coach of New Jersey Institute of Technology womens soccer, Assistant Vice President/Director of Athletics Lenny Kaplan announced on March 8, 2016.
Nick, who will be taking on her first college head coaching assignment with the Highlanders, is a product of the extremely successful program at La Salle University in Philadelphia, where she was a player coached by Paul Royal, who added her to his coaching staff after she graduated.
As a player, her teams won 39 games and tied 6 in four seasons and La Salles won-lost in her five years on the coaching staff was 70-27-11. Nick completed her fifth season as an assistant coach with La Salle in November 2015.
Her first four seasons on the staff were the best in La Salle history, as the Explorers reached the NCAA Tournament four seasons in a row, capturing the Atlantic 10 regular season title three times and the A-10 tournament twice.
In that 4-year span, La Salle was 61-18-8, the 13th-best record in Division I.
Playing for and then coaching on Paul Royals staff, Nick learned from the three-time Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year and she, herself, was honored by her peers in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America as a Regional Assistant Coach of the Year following both the 2012 and 2014 seasons (there is one honoree in each of eight regions nationwide).
I think she will be a shining star, said Kaplan in hiring Nick as head womens soccer coach. I am excited and looking forward to starting a new era of NJIT womens soccer.
Ally is hard-working and passionate about soccer. You can tell from her in-person interview and then from speaking to others she is thought of highly in the soccer community.
Among her duties in the La Salle program, Nick had a direct hand in organizing the defense, which has been a cornerstone of the teams success under Royal.
As La Salle's defensive coach, Nick helped establish a backline that is a force in the A-10. In 2011, the Explorers went unscored upon for the first 11 games of the season and maintained a 0.58 goals against average on the way to an 18-game unbeaten streak.
The Blue and Gold were undefeated in the A-10 in 2012 and 2014, held opponents to a 0.72 goals against average in 2013, notching 31 shutouts over those three seasons. Nick coached three players to A-10 Defender of the Year Award winners.
She was also responsible for monitoring team academic progress, where La Salles success in the classroom may actually outshine the glowing success on the soccer pitch.
In eight of nine semesters, La Salle womens soccer had the highest team GPA of any of the Universitys 23 varsity intercollegiate teams. Individually, womens soccer garnered 31 academic awards at the national, regional, and conference level during Nicks coaching tenure.
She began coaching at La Salle in August 2011, shortly after graduating from the school earlier that year.
Known as Ally Kenney when she was a star student-athlete and three-year team captain at La Salle, the resident of Sewell in South Jersey made the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team as a freshman and continued to receive playing and academic honors throughout her time in an Explorers uniform.
As a senior, she was second-team All-Atlantic 10 and Womens College Best XI first team.
In addition, she made the A-10s All-Academic team, the Academic All-District 2 first team (precursor to Academic All-America) and the Academic All-Area team.
Playing for La Salle against NJIT, she scored a goal vs. the Highlanders in her sophomore season; and had a goal and an assist vs. the Highlanders in her junior season.
She graduated from La Salle tied for third on the all-time list in games played (78) and tied for first in career starts (76). Her 14 career assists are eighth all-time at La Salle and her nine assists as a senior equal the fifth-best total in program annals. She scored 9 career goals.
Outside of college soccer, Nick is an identification staff coach for the United States Soccer Federation U-14 Youth National Team, as well as a staff coach for the Region 1 Olympic Development Program in Brick, NJ.
She is further involved in the sport at the camp and club level, including the South Jersey Elite Barons club and Penn Fusion Soccer Academy ECNL, where she is a staff coach.
I would like to thank Lenny Kaplan, Senior Associate Athletic Director, Andrew Schwartz and the rest of the search committee for this opportunity to lead NJITs Womens Soccer program, Nick said as she took the helm at NJIT. I would also like to sincerely thank everyone at La Salle University, especially (coach) Paul Royal and (Director of Athletics) Dr. Thomas Brennan, who have been instrumental in my career and incredible mentors.
I am excited to build a strong, winning program at NJIT and I believe with the institutions high academic standards, administrations support and new facility, it is a great time to be a Highlander!
She takes over at NJIT from Mandi Risden, who stepped down in January after three seasons as head coach and five years as an assistant coach before that. NJITs overall record in 2015 was 2-14, including 0-7 in its first season as a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Ally Nick holds a BA (May 2010) and MBA (December 2013) from La Salle University.

Mike Eckberg, who recently served as an assistant coach at Division I Towson University, has been hired to become the sixth head women's soccer coach in program history at the State University of New York at New Paltz, announced on Thursday, Feb. 2 by the Department of Athletics, Wellness & Recreation.
"What stood out with Mike was his vision, drive and work ethic for achieving goals," explained Director of Athletics [Stuart Robinson](https://nphawks.com/staff.aspxstaff=1). "Mike displayed the qualities that we were looking for when we began the search process, and while we had a very strong pool of candidates, Mike's passion and approach separated him from the others. I look forward to working with him as he begins his head coaching career at New Paltz."
Under Eckberg's guidance, the Tigers saw their first-ever appearance in the Colonial Athletic Conference (CAA) Tournament in the 2014 where the Tigers went 3-0-2 in their final five matches and helped produce one National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCCA) Mid-Atlantic Region honoree and six CAA All-Conference players.
Prior to his time at Towson, Eckberg spent the 2013-14 season as an assistant at Penn State where the Nittany Lions posted a 15-7-1 record, reaching the Big Ten Tournament Semifinals and the second round of the NCAA tournament. Eckberg assisted in the player development of one NSCAA All-American and five NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region selections.
"I am honored and humbled to be the new head women's soccer coach at New Paltz," said Eckberg. "I would like to thank the search committee for their investment throughout this process and [Stuart Robinson](https://nphawks.com/staff.aspxstaff=1) for giving me this wonderful opportunity. Their level of professionalism and sincerity was very evident to me throughout my visit to New Paltz.
"I am incredibly excited to meet the student-athletes and begin working with them," continued Eckberg. "There is a solid foundation within the program that I think will cultivate the right environment to reach the next level in the SUNYAC. Their eagerness and positive energy is contagious and I can't wait to start."
Before Penn State, Eckberg served as the recruiting coordinator in the 2013 offseason for Southwest Minnesota University. In the 2012 season Eckberg worked as an assistant at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, helping the Falcons to a 9-8-3 record and a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Tournament semifinal appearance, a significant improvement from a 6-13 finish in 2011. The program also saw individual athletes earns multiple awards, including one NSCAA All-Region, four WIAC selections and one CoSIDA Academic All-American.
In addition to his collegiate experience Eckberg brings with him years of club experience, having worked with the Minnesota Olympic Development Program for two years and the Bloomington Youth Soccer Club for six. In 2013, his U13 boy's team qualified for the MYSA State Tournament and secured a spot within the six team state premier league.
Eckberg graduated from Luther College (IA) in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business management and Spanish. He is a member of the NSCAA and holds NSCAA National and Goalkeeping Level III diplomas and a USSF B License.

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.
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.
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.

I have been playing soccer since I was five years old. I am now 13 years old and I continue to love playing soccer, but lately I have been struggling. I had lost confidence in myself and I was always afraid to make mistakes which as a result I stopped taking risks and challenging myself. But, after attending EXACT Camp for just one day I was able to learn a lot of things. I learned that it is OK to take risks and just because I am a smaller player than other athletes does not mean I am not a strong player. EXACT Sports helped me get my confidence back and to be a more vocal player. I learned valuable lessons that I can take with me on and off the field. I learned so much in just one day. I wish the camp was all week long. Thank you again!
P.S. I already started looking into colleges.

I had a great experience at the Chicago EXACT Soccer Camp. The one-on-one conversations with coaches was invaluable as was the overall coaching I received during training and games throughout the weekend. I plan to be back next year! On a side note please share with your staff how great they were when I went down with an injury on Sunday...torn ACL and surgery in my very near future, but having had the opportunity to showcase myself and meet the coaches and staff was the best experience I have ever had at any camp so far and I WILL be back next year.
Player
My EXACT camp experience was great. It was a wonderful learning experience in the perfect environment. The coaches and the EXACT staff made sure we focused on not only our skills and abilities that are crucial, but they also really focused on mental aspect of the game as well and I really enjoyed that.
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.

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
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!
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
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.
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
I was actually so nervous going into the camp, but once I got the to camp all of my nervousness went away. The coaches were all very nice and the camp was a comfortable place with everyone being very supportive. Not only was it enjoyable, I was able to talk to the coaches one-on-one, and get honest and thoughtful feedback to improve my athletic abilities and talents.
Before attending the EXACT Camp, I was very uneducated about college soccer and didn't have a set school I was interested in, but this camp helped me have a better understanding of what to look for in the future.
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 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.
