COLCHESTER, Vt. - Jeff Moulton, the boy's soccer head coach at nearby Bellow Free Academy-Saint Albans the last five seasons, has been named men's soccer assistant coach at Saint Michael's College, it was announced by head coach James Franklin today.

"I am thrilled that Jeff is joining our staff. He is a driven individual and brings energy and experience to the team," said Franklin, who completed his first season at the helm of the Purple Knights this fall. "He is a tremendous teacher and communicator and offers a diverse array of skills for our program to benefit from. He will be involved in all aspects of the program, and will greatly influence our future success."

"I am excited to be joining Saint Michael's and working with Coach Franklin," said Moulton. "My philosophy towards coaching is that, if you want to be successful, you must be able to consistently achieve three standards: a commitment to excellence, an ability to be trusted, and a willingness to be there for others."

Moulton has been coaching high school soccer at BFA-Saint Albans since 1995, including the last five years as the boy's varsity soccer head coach. He guided the Bobwhites' boy's junior varsity squad from 1997-2003, the boy's freshman team in 1996, and was an assistant coach with the boy's varsity team in 1995. He has also served BFA-Saint Albans as an assistant coach with both the varsity girls' ice hockey team, and the varsity girls' softball team.

In addition to his high school coaching duties, Moulton has served as an instructor at Saint Michael's soccer camps the last three summers, and has also been an instructor at similar camps at the University of Vermont and at the Vermont Soccer School. He has also spent the last three years as the Northern United indoor soccer coach.

Moulton played collegiate soccer at his alma mater, the State University of New York at Potsdam, and was a captain and All-League boy's soccer player at BFA-Saint Albans, where he graduated in 1990. He is an "E" License recipient of the United States Soccer Federation, and has attended coaching conventions in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Vermont.  

Moulton will begin his duties with Saint Michael's immediately. The Purple Knights are coming off of a 7-8-3 season in 2008.
