He most recently served as the College Recruiting Coordinator and Director of premier HS age teams in the club. This past year, he coached two Seacoast teams to state titles.

Thompson is currently UNHs all-time wins leader, and he was honored as America East Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2009. His Wildcats won an America East regular season title in 2009, and their undefeated conference regular season record of 6-0-1 in that same year was the first by any America East team since 1997. He led UNH to conference semi-finals six times (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013) and advanced to America East conference title games in 2010 and 2012, dropping both in penalty kick shootouts after drawing 0-0 both times. UNH squads were nationally ranked in 1993, 1994, 1997 and 2005. His teams led the America East conference in best discipline record 14 out of 15 years, and they finished in the top three in national Division I NSCAA fair play rankings three times (2009, 2012, 2013).

I am truly thankful to Doug Allison for the opportunity to join the Furman Mens Soccer staff, said Tucker. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Allison and the very successful program he has built. Making the decision to get back into coaching after being away for four years was something that took a lot of reflection, but after meeting the team and knowing the history behind the program with the ability for me to learn from one of the best in college soccer made my decision that much easier. Along with building new relationships with alumni and the Furman community, I am looking forward to working with my longtime coach, friend and mentor Bret Boulware. My family and I are eager to join the Furman University family and I am excited for the future of Furman Mens Soccer.

Since 2002, Tucker has served as a head coach and administrator with COEVER, Colorados premier soccer training academy.

Lincoln Memorial

Division 2

Director of Athletics Don Grigsby announced the promotion of Tom Gillette to Head Mens Soccer Coach on Friday, April 7, 2023. In his first year, Gillette led the railsplitters to 11-5-3 season in and the second round of the Division II National Tournament for the first time since 2013. Forward Daniel Burko was named SouthEast Region Player of the Year and a First Team All-American.

The coaching staff of Gillette and Parker helped turn around a program that went 2-13-2 (1-9-1 South Atlantic Conference) in 2021 to improve to 10-8-1 (6-5 SAC) and a SAC Tournament Final appearance in 2022. Gillette coached forward Harry Cooke, who was named the SAC Player and Freshman of the Year and Second Team All-America by the D2CCA.

Gillette came to Harrogate following five seasons as an assistant coach apart of Tim Chastonays staff at NCAA Division I Bellarmine of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

In the fall 2021 season, Gillette and the Knights finished with a bid to their second straight ASUN Championship while placing three student-athletes on the all-conference teams.

In the spring of 2021, Bellarmine's first in Division I and the ASUN Conference, Gillette and the Knights wasted no time in making their mark. Bellarmine secured the top seed from the North Division in the ASUN Championship after going 3-1 in league play while finishing the season ranked No. 9 in the Atlantic Region by the United Soccer Coaches. The memorable inaugural season in D1 included an ASUN Coach of the Year nod for Head Coach Tim Chastonay, four All-Conference acknowledgements and an All-Region laurel (Jonas Skulstad).

The 2019 campaign marked the most successful in program history for Bellarmine, which did not lose a match until the Sweet 16 of the NCAA II Tournament. The Knights went 16-1-5 overall and 10-0-4 in the GLVC. Both win totals set new program records. Along with an undefeated regular season, Bellarmine captured the GLVC Tournament title following a 3-2 victory over McKendree and secured its first-ever NCAA II Tournament berth. The Knights built a 30-game unbeaten streak bridging the 2018 and 2019 seasons and finished the year with a No. 13 national ranking. Tomas Bernedo, Micah Linscott and Eddie Williamson earned All-America accolades from the D2CCA, and Bernedo became the program's first GLVC Offensive Player of the Year.

Bellarmine finished 12-5-2 in 2018. At the time, the Knights tied both the most overall wins and the most conference victories (nine) in program history. Bellarmine finished second in the league and earned the No. 2 seed in the GLVC Tournament, where the Knights advanced to the finals. Jonas Skulstad became the program's first GLVC Defensive Player of the Year honoree.

In 2017, the Knights tied a then-program record with nine GLVC wins. Bellarmine's 11 overall victories were one shy of the program record at the time. The biggest highlight of the season came when Bellarmine defeated second-ranked and Final Four-bound Rockhurst 2-1. Williamson was named GLVC co-Freshman of the Year.

Gillette has served as the Director of Coaching at Oldham Soccer Club. He holds a USSF B license and a Director of Coaching Diploma. He has also coached in the Kentucky Olympic Development program.

Gillette played three seasons (2012-14) at Francis Marion University in South Carolina and captained the team his senior season.

"Becoming a head college coach has always been my dream and one I have prayed for a long time. I would like to thank Dr. King and Mr. McPhail for the opportunity to lead the program at such a special place. Coach Ralph Lundy, Coach Mike Noonan, and Coach Ralph Polson have had such a huge influence in my career and I would not be here today if not for them. My wife and I look forward to being a part of Lees-McRae College and the Banner Elk community."

Hank Lewis

Assistant Coach

CO School of Mines

Division 2

Hank Lewis returned to Mines' men's soccer staff in 2019 after working at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. He also served on the Orediggers' staff from 2014-16.

Lewis's return to the Orediggers follow two years with D1 Air Force Mens soccer, where he was a part of the two-time Western Region Coaching Staff of the Year that guided the Falcons to record-setting seasons that included top-15 rankings for the better part of both seasons, two consecutive Western Athletic Conference regular season titles, and two consecutive appearances in the D1 National Tournament.

Lewis has worked for top-25 teams across all three NCAA divisions, developing player-of-the-year, all-conference, all-region, all-America honorees, and professional contract signees. All of the five programs in which he has coached have enjoyed success in the post-season, including 6 conference championships, 9 conference tournament appearances, 3 conference tournament championships, 5 NCAA national tournament appearances, including a 2018 Sweet-16 appearance with Air Force, and a run to the Elite 8 with the Orediggers in 2015.

Though Lewis has coached players in every position as an assistant and interim head coach, he has had continued success in working with goalkeepers.

With the exception of the 2015 season, every major-minutes collegiate goalkeeper Lewis has worked with has held top-25 national performance rankings, often in multiple categories, for the better part of at least one season in their collegiate careers. Among those are multiple conference-goalkeeper-of-the-year, and all-conference goalkeepers in each NCAA division, all-region goalkeepers in each NCAA division, All-America goalkeepers, national-goalkeeper-of-the week, including a 3-time All-American invited to MLS Red Bulls pre-season camp.
Most recently, at Air Force, in two different seasons(2017 and 2018), Lewis mentored two different goalkeepers, John Wendt and Andrea Seazzu, to Western Athletic Conference (WAC) All-Conference first teams and All-Western Region first teams, with both keepers ranked in top-20 stats for the better part of both seasons. In 2018, Seazzu was named WAC Defensive Player of the Year.
While at Mines, during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Lewis mentored former Orediggers goalkeeper, [Colin Hall](https://minesathletics.com/roster.aspxrp_id=3673), to multiple honors: All-RMAC 1st Team, NSCAA Second-Team All-Region, D2CCA Second-Team All-Region, and RMAC Goalkeeper of the Year.

Lewis has coached at Mines (D2), Colgate (D1), Missouri S&T (D2), Stevens Institute of Technology (D3,), and most recently Air Force (D1). He has also coached as a volunteer assistant at Washington College, and Gallaudet, the premier university for the deaf. He has contributed to conference-winning, conference tournament-winning, and region-winning coaching staffs at Stevens (2010) and Mines 2014, 2015), and Air Force (2017); and post season play at Colgate (2006), Stevens (2010), and Mines (2014, 2015, 2016), and Air Force (2017-2018).

Though he is a born and raised US citizen, he spent three years on the technical staff of the Bahamas mens national team, coaching in Olympic and World Cup qualifiers. While on staff for the Bahamas Football Association (BFA), he served as Director of Goalkeeper Operations, establishing technical and coaching curriculum for Bahamian players and coaches. In addition to helping develop more than ten players who went on to play in college or international professional ranks, he mentored record-setting goalkeepers for the Bahamas National Mens and Womens Teams.

While in the Bahamas, he finished his playing days between the sticks at the age of 37, winning a national title with AFC Bears, their first in fourteen years. Once he hung up his gloves, he coached league and cup-winning teams for the Bears, and developed record-setting players in the BFAs national league.

Lewis has coached youth teams to three state championships, in two different sports in two different states, and coached soccer tournament champions and finalists on all but two of the u13, u16, u18, and u19 teams he has coached.

He holds a NSCAA National Diploma (Distinguished Pass) and a B coaching license from the Bahamas Football Association (par with the English FA Level Two and USSF B).

He also is an experienced trainer for Positive Coaching Alliance, which reaches millions of children each year to develop and defend a positive experience in club and scholastic sports.

An award-winning writer of essays, plays, nonfiction and two critically-acclaimed books of short stories, Lewis spent more than fifteen years as a full-time university professor before going into full-time collegiate coaching. Raised by two parents committed to social justice and community development, Lewis has served on advisory boards and panels for a range of state and national non-profit organizations focused on issues from equal rights to arts and education. A fourth generation Coloradan, he currently resides in Golden.

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.

Gretchen Knoblock

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.

Parker McDonald

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!!!

Benjamin Sumners

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!

Sean O'Callaghan

Player

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.

Paris Royo

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!

Brenden Bryan

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!

Joe Moore

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!
