Teaneck, N.J. – Fairleigh Dickinson University men’s soccer head coach Seth Roland announced today that Dave Hedlund has been named graduate assistant coach.  Hedlund will be the program’s primary goalkeeper coach and assist with administrative duties.

“We’re excited to have Dave as a member of our coaching staff,” said Roland, the 2001 Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year. “He brings with him a wealth of goalkeeper training experience and outstanding organizational and administrative abilities.”

Hedlund joins the Knights’ staff after two years as an assistant coach at Northeastern.  In 2000, he performed double duty with the Huskies, serving as the men and women’s goalkeeper coach and as a volunteer assistant with both teams. This past fall he remained as the goalkeeper coach for both teams and also became an assistant coach for the men’s team.

Hedlund attended South Kingstown High School in Rhode Island and captained his team to the Rhode Island Division 1A state title in 1992.  He moved on to St. Olaf College in Minnesota where he earned three letters.  Hedlund then began his coaching career in 1997 as an assistant coach at Park Center High School in Minneapolis, Minn. and in his first year helped guide the squad to the second round of the state divisional playoffs.

In 1998, he moved to Kobe-City, Japan where he joined KRAC, a soccer club with players from across the globe. There, he was part of a team that captured the 2^nd Division League Championship and remained with the team until the summer of 2000. 

During the summer of 2001 and this upcoming summer, Hedlund will continue to work as a camp administrator and staff coach for Tony DiCicco, former head coach of the USA Women’s National team at his SoccerPlus Goalkeeper School and Field Player Academy.

Hedlund is a 1997 graduate of St. Olaf College with a bachelor’s degree in history and a teaching license for grades 7-12. The 26-year old native of Milwaukee, Wisc., will be working towards a master’s degree in public administration.
