Campion served as head coach at New England College the last two years.
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's soccer program has named Brad Campion as an assistant coach. Campion, who served as the director of operations for UNH during the 2019 season, has spent the last two years as the head coach of the New England College men's soccer team.
"Brad is a natural fit who I have known personally for over 11 years in the roles of student-athlete and coach," said UNH head coach Marc Hubbard. "He understands the New Hampshire landscape as well as the university and will transition very easily here. Brad has established himself as one of the top coaches in the state leading New England College to the NCAA Tournament last year as well as directing and rebuilding New Hampshire's Olympic Development soccer program."
"I am incredibly grateful and honored to be back working with Coach Hubbard and for our outstanding UNH men's soccer student-athletes," said Campion. "I would like to thank Marty Scarano, Brad Brown, Michelle Bronner and Coach Hubbard for entrusting me with the position and responsibilities. My focus will be to provide the best student-athlete experience possible by holistically supporting each player's athletic, academic and professional pursuits. I am also eager to re-connect with the surrounding local soccer communities and our supportive alumni. I would also like to thank Dave DeCew, all the NEC players and everyone at New England College for their support. I will always be grateful for my time in Henniker."
At New England College, Campion was the leader of a coaching staff that was named the 2021 DIII New England Regional Staff of the Year, while he also earned NECC Coach of the Year accolades. The team won the NECC championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament posting a 12-7-2 record. Campion has also served as the program director for the New Hampshire Olympic Development Program.
"Brad already has personal relationships with a lot of the current players from his previous stint here and carries the right ethic and energy to help add immediately to the program," said Hubbard. "This was a very sought-after position with a lot of great candidates but every time I spoke to Brad, it felt right. I look forward to seeing Brad touch every part of our program and bring in some fresh ideas that will enable us to improve on the success we have already established."
Campion was a member of the UNH staff that earned 2019 Northeast Region and America East Staff of the Year accolades. UNH went 15-2-3 in 2019 setting the school record with a .825 winning percentage. UNH captured its second straight America East Tournament championship, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season. UNH only allowed 11 goals all year and posted the best team goals against average in the nation (0.528). The Wildcats concluded the year ranked No. 17 in the RPI and No. 22 by United Soccer Coaches.
Before UNH, Campion was an assistant coach for the men's soccer team at SUNY Purchase and a head coach for the Manhattan Soccer Club. While in New York City, Campion completed an M.A. in Higher and Postsecondary Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.
Campion played collegiate soccer for Hubbard at Southern New Hampshire University for two years and then finished his career at SUNY Geneseo. Under Hubbard at Southern New Hampshire University, Campion's teams won the 2013 NCAA DII National Championship, two-conference championships, and he was the NCAA Elite 89 Academic Award Recipient. At SUNY Geneseo, Campion was a two-time Academic All-American, two-time All-East selection, three-time first-team All-Conference selection, and SUNYAC's 2016 Scholar Athlete of the Year.
