Peter Wilson begins his seventh season with the Montclair State Women’s Soccer program. He played amateur soccer in his native London, England from age 17-23, and then played professionally for two-and-a-half years before finally retiring at the age of 28 due to injuries. Wilson holds an English F.A. Preliminary Badge and a USSF B License, and has also coached girls’ youth soccer in Florida, Minnesota and New Jersey. Wilson also served as the head coach and general manager of the New Jersey Wildcats, finishing 3rd in the 2003 North-East conference of the USL W-League, and coaching NCAA players from all levels. He is currently a coach with the Wildcats Soccer Club, a U-18 girls’ club team.
Returning for his sixth season on Eileen Blair’s staff, Shawn Bracht is no stranger to the Montclair State soccer program. Bracht played three seasons for the MSU men’s soccer team as a goaltender and also assisted the women’s program during its non-traditional season. In addition, Bracht also served as a student athletic trainer during his collegiate days until earning his bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Health from MSU in 2001.
Another outstanding player during her career, Shirah Odeh returns to Montclair State for her second season. A former All-Conference selection, Odeh donned a Red Hawk uniform from 2001-2004. A two-time All-New Jersey Athletic Conference selection, Odeh played an integral part in helping the Red Hawks to their first NJAC championship and berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament. In 81 games for Montclair, Odeh scored 14 goals and added eight assists for 36 points, including three goals and nine points from her defensive position in 2004. Odeh also served as a student assistant coach with the MSU women’s basketball team during the 2004-05 campaign and played two seasons for Montclair. |
