"When I was coached by him, he was very passionate about the game. He played the game, knows the game, and he doesn’t play favorites. The players who are playing the best will be the ones on the field. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of all his players. He’s a players coach and knows the game very well. Basically, if I could, I would want to be coached by him again."

"I had a great experience with coach Matt! He made my transition from another college very smooth and easy! He’s going to be honest and direct with you whether that’s on or off the field. Coach Matt is one of the easiest people to get along with! Loves to talk about soccer and breaking down the game! He knows his players and motivates us day in and day out! Overall great coach!"

"Matt is one of the most knowledgable coaches I have come across. He is a great leader and a great coach to play for. "

"Believes in every player, knows the game very well, has what it takes to be a great coach, can and will make a program great."

"Matt has always been there to support his players, yet still be honest with them in giving constructive criticism in ways for the player to get better. He will strategically play certain people depending on the opponent and won’t be drawn to the favorites, but the people he can depend on to do a specific job he knows they can do."
