Greensboro College Pride

Greensboro College Athletics has announced the hiring of their 17th men's soccer head coach in program history, Jacob Weinshank. Weinshank comes from NCAA Division I Bowling Green State University, where he has been the assistant coach for the men's soccer team since 2023.  
 
Weinshank played his collegiate soccer at NCAA Division III Salve Regina University in Newport, RI. There he was a 2014 Commonwealth Coast Conference Senior Scholar Athlete of the Year, a 2014 National Soccer Coaches Association of America Scholar All-East Region, and a key part of the 2012 CCC championship team that appeared in the NCAA Tournament. 
 
While the assistant coach at Bowling Green State University, Weinshank was a crucial part of the team's scouting and recruiting efforts, coached a MAC Hermann semifinalist, an MLS SuperDraft selection, two All-Americans, two All-Region players, five All-Conference players that included the Conference Defensive Player of the Year, three All-Tournament players, six Conference Player of the Week award winners, four appearances on TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Week, two TopDrawerSoccer Midseason Top 100 Honorees, and six CSC Academic All-District Players. In addition, the program earned a conference championship game appearance, which was the team's first MVC championship match.  
 
Prior to Bowling Green State, Weinshank was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of North Florida from 2018-2023. There he was the lead recruiter, carried out the team's training and match management, and coached eight All-Conference players, eight Freshman All-Conference players, fifteen Conference Player of the Week recipients, seven All-Academic Team players, and a Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year award winner. The team also reached four ASUN conference tournaments which included a semifinal round appearance.  
 
Weinshank began his coaching career with Maine Maritime Academy in Castine, ME from 2017-2018, serving as an assistant coach. There he served the program in multiple areas, including scouting, team training, team travel, and social media management. The team also reached their first conference semifinals in five years. 
 
"I am thrilled to have the privilege of becoming the next leader of the storied Greensboro College men's soccer program', Weinshank said. 'I look forward to fostering young men of high character, building genuine relationships, and competing at the highest level. I'd like to thank Director of Athletics Fisk and the search committee for making this opportunity possible for me and my family." 
 
Director of Athletics, Jerry Fisk, said of the hiring of Weinshank, "I am grateful to end a national search with the hiring of Jacob as our next men's soccer head coach. The candidates for this position were remarkable, including many alumni and sitting head coaches. I have never seen such a robust pool of candidates. I would like to thank the committee for their work and I think we have secured the coach that will restore Greensboro College men's soccer to its historic glory."
