Simeon Steward was named assistant coach of the men's soccer team in May 2019.
In his first season with the Raiders, Steward helped lead Colgate to its fifth consecutive Patriot League Tournament. Colgate closed out the regular season with three consecutive wins to secure a postseason berth with a 6-9-4 overall record and 4-4-1 mark in conference action. Steward helped guide three All-Patriot League honorees, including All-League First Team selection Christian Clarke.
Prior to Colgate, Steward spent four years on the staff at New Hampshire. A perennial contender in the America East, the Wildcats compiled a 47-20-10 record during Steward’s tenure and advanced to the NCAA Tournament back-to-back years in 2017 and 2018.
New Hampshire won at least 10 games in every season during Steward’s tenure, including 13 in 2017 when the Wildcats were ranked as high as a program-best 12th in the country. That team reached the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the first time in program history.
Steward helped guide the Wildcats to the program’s first America East Championship in 2018. They posted a 12-4-2 overall record and boasted one of the top defensive teams in the country, ranking fifth in goals-against average (0.538) and eighth in shutout percentage (0.556).
Prior to his role in Durham, N.H., Steward spent one year in the assistant post at Southern New Hampshire. In his only season there, the Penmen posted an impressive 17-1-2 record and won the NE-10 title before advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In 2012, Steward held the director of men's soccer operations position at the University of Washington and was selected for the inaugural NSCAA "30 Under 30" Program.
As a student-athlete, Steward played for Louisville from 2007-09 and helped the Cardinals to three consecutive NCAA appearances and a Big East regular season championship in 2009. He was also a Big East All-Academic Selection.
