Biography Banner

Nick Hoover was named the head women's soccer coach at his alma mater early in 2012 after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant coach with the Susquehanna men's soccer program and as the associate head coach for the women’s program in 2011. Hoover has provided stability to the women’s soccer program which saw five different coaches in the previous 15 years before his arrival. He has returned the program to its winning ways, leading SU to four consecutive winning seasons since 2015.
