James Greenslit

James Greenslit enters his seventh season as Head Coach of the Roger Williams University Men’s Soccer program.

The Hawks finished the Fall 2021 regular season as co-champions of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) and advanced to the semi-finals of the CCC tournament. The squad also earned significant accolades after their successful season, as reflected by the United Soccer Coaches naming one student-athlete as an All-American, and two as All-Region student-athletes. Also, there were six Hawks named as All-CCC players, including three named to the 1st team one named CCC Offensive Player of the Year. Furthermore, nine of the student-athletes on the Fall 2021 team were named academic All-CCC players, a distinction that both Greenslit and the team place significant weight.

Under Greenslit’s tenure, the Hawks continue to increase their competitive impact inside and outside of the CCC conference. During the Fall 2018 season, the team finished with a 16-5 record and ranked #7 in New England. They also placed four student-athletes on the All-CCC team.

In addition to their accomplishments on the soccer field, Greenslit emphasizes the importance of the student-athletes’ overall roles within the Roger Williams community. Whether it is meeting the team’s goal of completing 250 volunteer hours during the school year, actively contributing toward their partnership with the Team Impact non-profit organization, or encouraging players to challenge themselves in the classroom, Greenslit personally values the opportunities Division 3 athletics offer student-athletes. He prioritizes recruiting contributors on the soccer field who also value teamwork and developing into valuable members of their communities off of the field.

Greenslit graduated from Wheaton (Mass.) in 2006 with a degree in economics. He is the only three-time All-American in Wheaton College men's soccer history, being named to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) All-Conference first teams every year during that stretch. He is a two-time NEWMAC Player of the Year, as well as a three-year starter on the Wheaton Men’s Basketball team. Following his Wheaton career, Greenslit played for the New England Revolution squad in 2006 before suiting up for the New Hampshire Phantoms and the Western Mass. Pioneers of the United Soccer Leagues' (USL) Second Division in 2007 and 2008, respectively. For the New Hampshire Phantoms he was the only player on the team to be an all-star for the 2007 USL Season.

Greenslit joined the Roger Williams University community in 2015 after spending three seasons (and five seasons total) at Wheaton College (Mass.). He also served as an assistant at Division I College of the Holy Cross for two years and Northeastern University in 2007 and 2008. In addition to his college coaching and playing experience, Greenslit also served as a Director of Coaching for the FC Boston Bolts and holds his National Diploma from United Soccer Coaches.
