Blauvelt, NY (2/24/05) Dominican College Athletic Director, Joe Clinton, has announced the hiring of John Campbell as the new head men’s soccer coach.

He spent this past year as the assistant men’s coach at Division I Bucknell University. At Bucknell, Campbell was responsible for recruiting, travel arrangement, practice management, game management and match analysis.

He spent his collegiate career at Green Mountain College and then at Roberts Wesleyan College. At Green Mountain, he led the team in assists and was second in goals. He retains the school record for goals in a single game. At Roberts Wesleyan, he led the team in goals and total scoring. His team won back-to-back Conference and Regional Champions and also made NAIA National Tournament appearances in 1998 and 1999.
