Wingate University graduate Gary Curneen (Wingate class of ‘03) enters his third season as head women’s soccer coach in the fall of 2007. 

In 2006, the Bulldogs went 11-8 overall with a 3-4 SAC ledger. The highlight win for Wingate during the 2006 season was a 2-1 win over South Atlantic Conference foe and NCAA number four Tusculum. The Bulldogs established a home-field advantage, going 8-2 on the pitch at the Wingate University Soccer Complex. 

Midfielder Lisa Service earned All-SAC honors for the second consecutive season. Also, defender Heather Schlick was once again named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® first team.

During his first campaign, Curneen led the Bulldogs to an 11-9 overall record during the 2005 season. Wingate competes in the very tough South Atlantic Conference.

Curneen served two seasons as assistant men’s soccer coach at Wingate University prior to taking over the reins of the women’s soccer program. He assisted in all aspects of recruiting, practice and game management. As a Bulldog student-athlete, Curneen earned four letters in men’s soccer for head coach Gary Hamill.

In addition to his coaching ledger at Wingate, Curneen has served the Union County Soccer Association as a team trainer for various age groups (U-9 to U-16). He has been an assistant director in the Olympic Development Program for the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA), directing all aspects of training for U-11 girls. 

Curneen possesses an “A” coaching license from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). He holds the premier diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Curneen was a marketing intern for the Boston Bulldogs of the A League and the Boston Renegades of the W-League for two summers.

Curneen has posted 11 wins each in his first two seasons. He believes the business-like approach the 2007 team is taking to this season is second-to-none. “Our mentality is a big strength,” Curneen asserts. “We have been working on achieving our goals every day since the beginning of the 2007 spring season.”
