Coaching Staff 

Marc Hubbard
Head Coach

Marc Hubbard enters his fourth season as UNH men’s soccer head coach in 2018.
His leadership has made an immediate impact on the program, which has recorded 10+ win seasons each of his first three years at the helm – the Wildcats have not accomplished that feat since the ‘93, ’94 and ‘95 seasons. Hubbard has a 35-16-8 record over his first three seasons at UNH.
The 2017 season was one for the history books for the Wildcats. UNH went 13-4-5 and was ranked as high as a program best #12 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll. The Wildcats went undefeated at home in Wildcat Stadium (10-0-3), were 2-1-1 versus nationally ranked teams, hosted their first home NCAA Tournament game and earned their first victory in the tournament with a 3-0 win versus Fairfield. After winning a penalty kick shootout at Dartmouth in the second round, the Wildcats made it to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history when they traveled to play No. 2 Indiana, where they scored only the fifth goal allowed by Indiana all season in the 2-1 loss. The Wildcats concluded the season with the sixth best team goals against average (0.555) in the nation.
The staff led by Hubbard was awarded the United Soccer Coaches Eastern Region Staff of the Year and the America East Coaching Staff of the Year awards. Robin Schmidt was named a second team All-American as he was only the third Wildcat to earn All-American accolades and the first in 23 years.
One year prior to his arrival, UNH went 6-10-1 with an RPI of 164 in the 2014 season. The change under coach Hubbard was immediate, as the Wildcats opened the 2015 campaign with a nine-game unbeaten streak (7-0-2) en route to a 10-5-3 overall record and RPI of 52 – an improvement of 112 places.
 The ‘Cats continued the climb in 2016 with a 9-1-0 mark through 10 games with a 12-7-0 overall record and final RPI of 42. Of particular note, UNH handed UMass Lowell (ranked #14 at the time) its only loss of the season with a 2-1 victory at Bremner Field.
 New Hampshire ranked No. 18 in the nation in scoring offense by averaging 1.84 goals per game. On the individual national leaderboards, sophomore Chris Arling was No. 4 in goals per game and 11^th in points per game, as well as No. 5 in game-winning goals.
 The team’s success resulted in a plethora of individual accolades. Two Wildcats were named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, three were named to both the NSCAA All-East Region Team and the America East All-Conference First Team, two were voted to the America East All-Rookie Team and two ‘Cats made the conference’s All-Academic Team. Furthermore, Chris Wingate was named one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award and one of 28 players selected to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, as well as America East Midfielder of the Year for the second straight season.
 
The program’s resurgence is bringing fans to Durham. UNH topped America East in home attendance with an average of 1,373 fans per game, and that included 1,904 who witnessed the Wildcats defeat UMBC, 3-0, in the conference opener.
 In 2015, UNH ranked first in the America East conference in goals per game (1.56) and the Wildcats were issued the fewest yellow cards and second fewest fouls in the conference. The ‘Cats also recorded the second lowest goals against average (1.00) by allowing 19 goals in 18 games. New Hampshire keepers recorded five shutouts, including four straight games.
 Chris Wingate earned the America East Midfielder of the Year award and was an All-Conference First Team selection; four teammates received All-Conference status. Wingate was also named a NSCAA Division I Men's All-East Region First Team selection while senior co-captain Andrew Chaput was tabbed a NSCAA Division I Men's All-East Region Third Team honoree.
 Hubbard, who is a Durham native, returned to the program following a seven-year head coaching stint at Southern New Hampshire University. Hubbard previously served as an assistant coach of the UNH men’s soccer team from 2003-2007.
 During his time coaching at UNH, the team reached back-to-back America East semifinals in ’06 and ‘07 and he was a member of the conference’s 2006 Staff of the Year. The men’s soccer program ranked No. 1 in New England as well as No. 23 nationally in 2005 during Hubbard’s tenure.
 Hubbard led SNHU to a 117-20-6 (.839) overall record and helped the program capture its second NCAA national championship in 2013. Hubbard was also named the 2013 NSCAA Division II Coach of the Year after his team captured the title. Hubbard departed SNHU as the national leader in winning percentage in Division II. 
 He also collected the Northeast-10 Coach of the Year award three times (2008, 2009, 2013) and was named the NSCAA East Region Coach of the Year in 2008.
 Hubbard guided SNHU to a 15-3-4 record in 2008, his first season with the team. SNHU’s success came a year after it stumbled to a 5-8-5 record. 
 He instilled a culture of defense at SNHU, as the Penmen led Division II in team goals-against average three times during his tenure (2008, 2010, 2013). The Penmen made it to seven consecutive NCAA Championships under Hubbard. Overall, SNHU won four Northeast-10 championships (2008, 2012, 2013, 2014) and four NE-10 regular season titles (2008, 2009, 2013, 2014).
 During his playing days, Hubbard lifted the Oyster River High School boys’ soccer team to consecutive New Hampshire Class I championship before he graduated in 1999. He also played club soccer with Seacoast United and captained the U-18 team to a New Hampshire state championship; he later went on to coach with SUSC and led the U-16 squad to a state title in ‘05.
 Hubbard graduated from Colgate University in 2003 with a degree in Political Science before obtaining his master’s in Kinesiology: Sports Studies at UNH in 2006. He was a three-time Patriot League Second Team selection and three-year captain for the Red Raiders. He went on to play professionally for three years with the New Hampshire Phantoms of the USL Second Division, where he was a two-year captain and 2006 USL First Team honoree as well as a Defender of the Year finalist.

It was the first time SNHU won the national championship since 1989. After falling in the season opener to Post, the Penmen won their next 20 games en route to the NCAA Title.

Weinrebe graduated from the University of New Hampshire after a stellar four year career with the Wildcats where he was a two year captain of the squad.
