(August 2021 Press Release, Beloit College Athletics)
The Beloit College Athletic Department has announced Brad Williams as the next head coach of the Buccaneer men's soccer program. Williams replaces former coach and alumnus Duncan Gillis who was recently selected to lead the men's program at CalTech.
"We are extremely pleased to have Brad Williams as our new Head Men's Soccer Coach," said Athletic Director Dave DeGeorge. "Brad has a terrific coaching background and his commitment to educating the whole student makes him a perfect fit for Beloit College."
Williams brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Beloit. A goalkeeper for Division I Saint Francis University in Pennsylvania, Williams set multiple program records during his playing career. He has playing experience internationally with Team Bath F.C. in Bath, England, as well as domestically in the United Soccer League. Williams entered the coaching ranks in 2009 as an assistant coach for the men's and women's soccer programs at Division II California State University, Chico. The following year he transitioned to an assistant coaching role at California State University, Bakersfield, an NCAA Division I institution, working with both the men's and women's programs. Williams has served more recent coaching stints at Napa Valley College (head women's coach), Feather River College (assistant men's and women's coach), and Southwestern Oregon Community College (head men's coach and recruitment specialist) before landing the head role at Beloit. Additionally, Williams holds years of experience coaching for premier clubs and has served as an associate staff instructor for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/United Soccer Coaches.
Williams holds a Masters Degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University Irvine, a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Saint Francis University and a Higher National Diploma in Coach Education and Sport Performance from University of Bath.
“I am grateful to Dave DeGeorge and the search committee for the opportunity to lead the Men’s Soccer program at Beloit College," said Williams. "I was immediately drawn to the unique learning environment at Beloit College and I am looking forward to getting started.”
Williams will hit the ground running with his cast of 2021 Buccaneers scheduled to report to campus on August 17.
