Monks Men's Soccer Camps

HEAD COACH WILL PIKE

Will Pike '11 was named as the head coach of the Monks' men's soccer program in January of 2019.

Pike ascended to the head coaching position after serving as an assistant at Saint Joseph's for five years (2012, 2015-18). He was the head assistant and goalkeeper coach for both the men's and women's programs in 2018, helping lead the two sides to Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Championships that fall. 

Pike also worked as the Director of Goalkeeping at Seacoast United for five years (2013-17) and holds the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) National "C" Coaching License. He gained additional collegiate coaching experience as an assistant coach at Husson University in 2013.

"I am thrilled to be named as the next head coach of the Saint Joseph's College men's soccer program," adds Pike. "Having been part of the Saint Joseph's community for over a decade as a student-athlete and assistant coach, I know firsthand how special this institution is and I am excited to become a full-time member of the athletics staff."

During his time as an assistant coach for the SJC men's soccer program, Pike helped the Monks win three-consecutive GNAC Championships with an incredible cumulative 55-3-8 (.833) record – including a 28-0-2 (.933) mark in conference play – from 2016 to 2018 and was a member of the 2017 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III New England Region Coaching Staff of the Year, along with former Head Coach Adrian Dubois, Michael Sanfilippo '12, and Kyle Shangraw '14.

As a college goalkeeper, Pike – a Gorham native - initially played for Mount St. Mary's University, an NCAA DI program in Maryland, for two years before transferring to Saint Joseph's, where he played two seasons (2008-09) and, upon graduation, had established new SJC career records for goals-against average (0.88), save percentage (.861), victories (26) and shutouts (19). He earned a pair of First Team All-Conference accolades and led the Monks to the program's first GNAC Championship in 2009.

Pike was inducted into the Saint Joseph's College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2019. He currently resides in Standish with his wife, Heidi.
