Michael Webber Hired As New Regis Women's Soccer Coach

WESTON, Mass. – Michael Webber has been selected as the new head coach for the women's soccer team at Regis (Mass.). The announcement came (day) by the Regis Athletics office.

"Michael is driven, passionate and a proven winner," said Rob Riley, Regis Director of Athletics. "He understands what it takes to build a successful program and I believe he will be a perfect fit for Regis. We are excited to have him as a member of the Regis community."

Webber comes to Regis after 11 seasons at Division III power Allegheny College (Meadville, Pa.) and is the 10th coach in the 32-year history of the program. Overall, Webber brings 19 years of coaching experience having been the women's head coach at Worcester State (2001-05) and Sutton High School (Mass.) before that.

Webber took over the reins at Allegheny in 2005 and continued the rich history of Gator women's soccer. During his Allegheny tenure, he amassed a 109-75-24 record which included eight winning seasons. After a pair of 10-win campaigns to start his run with the Gators, Webber began a run of four straight conference tournament appearances, three conference titles and three NCAA Tournament berths, more than any coach in program history.

In 2013, the Gators enjoyed one of the most successful campaigns in program history, earning a share of the NCAC regular season title before winning the program's first NCAC Tournament. It was also the fourth conference championship in program history and was followed by another NCAA Tournament bid. Six of his players earned all-conference recognition, highlighted by two first-team selections and one NSCAA all-region selection.

2014 rivaled the previous season's success as the team captured its second straight conference title and, while falling in the NCAC Tournament title game, received an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, the team's second straight NCAA appearance. The 15-6 overall record was the most wins since 2003.

Prior to coming to Allegheny, Webber had a successful stint at Worcester State. He led the Lancers to a school-record tying 12 wins, including a victory over 12th-ranked Lynchburg College. That squad went on to capture the first MASCAC Tournament championship in school history and received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Overall, Webber finished with a 33-31-5 record at Worcester, ranking him second all-time on the school's wins list.

Webber is a 1988 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, Mass.) where he was a two-time league player of the year as a goalkeeper and three-time all-league selection.
