CARLISLE, Pa. – Brian Redding has announced his resignation as the head men's soccer coach at Dickinson College. Redding took over the program in 2004, and after 16 seasons at the helm, featuring numerous NCAA tournament appearances, he established Dickinson as one of the nation's top Division III men's soccer programs.

In addition to eight NCAA tournament bids, the Red Devils have made appearances in the Centennial Conference playoffs in 12 of the past 13 seasons. Dickinson advanced to the conference championship in 2009 and was crowned the 2011 Centennial Conference Champion after beating Haverford 3-2 in penalty kicks. The Red Devils advanced to the conference playoffs in each of the past nine seasons.

"The players and coaching staff have helped develop Dickinson soccer into a nationally recognized and competitive program of which I am very proud to have been associated with for 16 seasons," Redding said. "However, in light of the many challenges the pandemic has created and important family priorities, I have made the extremely difficult decision to step away from my head coaching role at Dickinson to pursue other opportunities." 

"I want to thank Dickinson College, my former Athletics Director Les Poolman, my current Athletics Director Joel Quattrone and other colleagues for their invaluable support and guidance over the years. I am looking forward to my next chapter but will always be grateful for the opportunity, time spent, experiences shared, and memories made over the last 17 years with the Dickinson men's soccer program." 

Quattrone expressed his appreciation for the work Redding did to make Dickinson one of the top programs in the Centennial Conference. 

"I sincerely appreciate Brian's contributions and accomplishments, both as a coach and colleague during his tenure at Dickinson," said Quattrone. "He built the men's soccer program into one that could compete with the best teams in the country. His teams were always at or near the top of the conference standings and were fortunate to make numerous NCAA playoff appearances. We wish Brian and his family nothing but the best in their future endeavors." 

Redding compiled an overall record of 182-93-33 and a mark of 76-44-19 in the Centennial Conference.
