Scott Gerseny

Scott Gerseny is in his fifth season as the head coach of the women's soccer program at the University of Mary Washington, coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance and CAC title in his first season, and a return trip to the conference championship match in 2022.


Prior to coming to UMW, Gerseny guided Washington and Jefferson to a 9-9-2 overall record in 2018, which included a 6-2 mark in Pennsylvania Athletic Conference games in 2018. In just his first season, Gerseny directed the Presidents to a PAC Tournament berth and a bid into the ECAC Tournament.


"The University of Mary Washington is a fantastic school and offers a great experience to student-athletes", said Gerseny. "The women's soccer team has an incredible history and tradition that I will try to build upon. By stressing character, hard work and leadership I know we will do great things in the future."


A long time NCAA Division I assistant, Gerseny arrived at Washington and Jefferson after most recently serving as the associate head coach at James Madison University. He started at JMU in 2012 as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Dukes before being elevated to associate head coach in 2015. Prior to JMU, he had stops at Towson and Eastern Kentucky.


While at James Madison, Gerseny helped lead the Dukes to the fourth Colonial Athletic Association title for the program and the school's 11th NCAA Tournament in 2015. Over his six seasons in Harrisonburg, Va., JMU recorded a 66-52-3 overall record, including improving from 7-11 to 15-5-1 after his first season. The Dukes appeared in five-straight CAA Tournaments and made it to the championship game twice. Individually, 26 student-athletes earned all-conference recognition, highlighted by the 2016 CAA Player of the Year, 2013 and 2016 CAA Freshmen of the Year and the 2013 CAA Defensive Player of the Year. Also, Sam Lofton became the first JMU player drafted by the National Women's Soccer League when chosen by the Boston Breakers in 2015. Additionally, Gerseny coordinated the Dukes' academic program, and the team boasted a GPA above 3.0 every year.


He spent 2008-11 at Towson where he ascended to associate head coach for the Tigers in August 2011. Prior to joining Towson's program, Gerseny was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Eastern Kentucky from 2005-08.


At Towson, Gerseny coached the Tigers first all-region player and eight all-CAA players, the most in any four-year span in the program's history. He also coached five all-Ohio Valley Conference players at Eastern Kentucky.


Gerseny is a 2005 graduate of the University of Florida with a degree in sport management and earned his master's in sport administration from Eastern Kentucky in 2006. While at Florida, he was an intern on the Gators' women's soccer coaching staff. He has ties to NCAA Division III, having played soccer at Ohio Wesleyan University in 2001 before transferring to Florida.


He has also coached the Baltimore Bays Under-16 club team, which won the 2010 Maryland State Cup.


Gerseny holds a USSF "A" coaching license and a regional goalkeeping diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (now United Soccer Coaches). He and his wife, Leana, have a young son, Brooks.

Jason Kilby

Through 12 seasons at the helm, Jason Kilby has proven a successful track record as men's soccer coach at the University of Mary Washington, and has led the Eagles back to national prominence, winning conference championships and reaching NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons, culminating in a trip to the Division III national semifinal in 2022.


After leading UMW to a 7-7-3 mark in his first season on campus, Kilby led the Eagles to a 12-8-1 mark in 2012, advancing all the way to the CAC Championship. With a freshman-laden roster in 2013, the Eagles finished with a 12-7 mark, and advanced to the CAC semifinals in both 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the Eagles reached the CAC Championship after a 14-4 campaign, and in each of the past two seasons, UMW has won the CAC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.


The Eagles ranked as high as seventh in the nation in 2018, and set the school record for fewest losses (1) in a season, and Kilby was named the CAC Coach of the year for the fourth time in eight years. He and his staff were chosen as the United Soccer Coaches South Atlantic Region Coach of the Year, as the Eagles ranked second in the nation in save percentage, fourth in goals-against average, and sixth in shutout percentage.


The 2019 season saw the Eagles rank much of the season in the top 10 nationally, claim the program's third straight conference title, and advance to the NCAA Tournament second round. This season, the Eagles faced one of the strongest schedules in the country, and Kilby led the Eagles to the conference title again, and advanced his team through four rounds of the NCAA Tournament, all the way to the final four. Along the way, he won his 250th career contest in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinal with a win over eighth-ranked Bowdoin College.


In nine years at NC Wesleyan, Kilby led the Battling Bishops to a 120-43-13 overall record with a 43-7-6 mark in USA South Conference play. Kilby's impressive tenure at NCWC included back-to-back undefeated USA South Conference Championships in '04 and '05, as well as back-to-back undefeated regular seasons in '06 and '07.


In 2008, Kilby led NCWC to a 16-3-2 overall record, the USA South Tournament Championship, and the program's third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. His best season at the helm of the program, however, came in 2007 when he turned in a program-best 18-2-0 record, an undefeated regular season, an appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16, and a #2 national ranking for most of the fall.


Kilby spent four years as an assistant coach at Frostburg State University and was credited with much of his alma mater’s success. FSU won the AMCC Regular Season Championship each of those years and won the AMCC Tournament three times. FSU posted an overall record of 56-25-1 during his tenure on the coaching staff.


Professional soccer is also an accomplishment for Kilby as he has played in the USL and the USISL, as well as the Moseley Football Club in London, England. He currently holds a NSCAA Advanced National License, as well as a USSF “A” License.

Showcase Tips

Are you ready for your next college showcase?
I have used the Soccer in College site for 8 years, and it has helped me keep my personal and soccer information up to date, and has helped be track college contacts and interest. I think the site helped me prepare for college offers, and helped me determine that I wanted to play for UNC.
