The presence of former Retriever standout Anthony Adams as assistant men’s
soccer coach has paid huge dividends to the UMBC soccer program. On four
occasions, Adams has been named one of the nation’s top assistant coaches
by collegesoccernews.com, and in 2003 he was one of 27 college coaches in
the nation to be honored as an Assistant Coach of the Year by AFLAC. He
was honored by the NSCAA in 2005 as the Mid-Atlantic Region Assistant
Coach of the Year.
Adams earned four letters for UMBC from 1992-95 and was a starter in the
backfield in his final three seasons. He earned the 1995 Retriever Club
Scholarship Award, given each year to a junior student-athlete who
demonstrates academic and athletic excellence and a commitment to UMBC’s
community service program.
The Dundalk, Md. native (Calvert Hall) has been an extremely successful
coach at the club level. As a head coach in the Soccer Club of Baltimore
and the Baltimore Bays, he has won ten state championships, two regional
titles and made two national final four appearances FROM 96-07. Adams has
coached exclusively in the USSF Development Academy for the Baltimore Bays
since 2008. He was part of the Bays' staff this summer that guided both
Academy teams to the Final Eight at the Home Depot Center in California.
“Anthony has done a fantastic job at UMBC,” head coach Pete Caringi said.
“It is obvious he has the skills for recruiting talented student-athletes
and he has been a huge asset to our program.”
The longest-tenured UMBC assistant coach holds a U.S.S.F. “A” coaching
license. He earned a degree in history and a certificate in secondary
education from UMBC in 1997 AND completed his master’s degree in
management from the University of Maryland, University College IN 2007.
His wife Stephanie was a former member of the sports medicine staff at
UMBC. The couple had their first child, Isabella Marika, in July of 2007
and recently welcomed Caroline Marie to the family in August 2010.
