The Coaching Staff

Head Coach Elie Monteiro

Elie Monteiro enters his third year as head coach of the women's soccer team and aims to bring the program into the upper echelon of the Northeast-10 Conference and New England Region. Fresh off a 4-10-1 finish in 2003, Monteiro has patiently molded the program into a defensive force evidenced by last season. The River Hawks established a school record for shutouts in a season (five) and tied the school mark for goals allowed in a season (28). UML suffered four losses by a score of 1-0 and a double overtime deadlock against Pace (0-0). Previously, Monteiro served as an assistant coach with the UML men's and women's teams for two years and spent three years as an assistant at NE-10 rival Franklin Pierce College. While with the UML men's program, Monteiro helped the River Hawks to a 23-15- 3 clip (.561) and consecutive postseason appearances. Prior to his arrival at UML, Monteiro enjoyed a three-year stint as the women’s assistant coach at Franklin Pierce, helping the Ravens to NCAA Division II championships in 1997 and 1999, as well as the NCAA Tournament semifinals in 1998. He helped FPC to an astounding three-year record of 62-2-0 (.969). After graduating from Southern New Hampshire University in 1996, Monteiro enjoyed a six-year professional career as a starting defender with the Phantoms of New Hampshire of the United Soccer Leagues (USL). He helped the Phantoms to a six-year clip of 102-60-6 (.607), which includes an appearance in the USL national semifinal in 1997 and the USL championship match in 1998. He was named to the USL All-Tournament Team both years. In 2001, Monteiro received his 'C' coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). He is also the Director of Coaching and Player Development for the Gate City Thunderbirds in Nashua, NH, and recently capped his second season as head coach of the Lady Phantoms of New Hampshire of the USL W2 League. Monteiro was a two-year standout for the Southern New Hampshire University men's soccer team and helped the Penmen to a two-year clip of 30- 6-2 and an appearance in the 1995 NCAA Tourna- ment. He received his degree in sports management and served as a volunteer assistant coach to the SNHU men’s program during the 1996 season. Previously, Monteiro was a two-year standout at Massasoit Community College where he earned All-New England Region honors as a senior and led the Warriors to the NJCAA Tournament semifinals. En route, Monteiro was named the most valuable player of the New England Regional championship. Born in Dakar, Senegal, Monteiro was raised in Brockton, MA. He currently lives in Manchester, NH, with his wife, Claudine, and their daughter, Isabella Rose (2) and son, Sebastian, born in late August. The Coaching Staff
