NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion women's soccer head coach Angie Hind announced the addition of Steven Samuel to her coaching staff on Tuesday. Samuel comes to ODU after two seasons at Mount St Mary's University.
"I am delighted to welcome Steven as part of our staff here at ODU," said Hind. "He has great experience from working at two other D1 women's soccer programs, plus club experience and we are thrilled to have him join us and our team."
While at the Mount, Samuel was responsible for coordinating recruiting tasks as well as training, travel, and gameday operations. In his time with the Mountaineers, Samuel worked directly with the attacking unit and oversaw a consistent improvement in offensive production in 2020 and 2021. The 22 goals scored in the 2021 season were the most since 2012. Samuel helped develop five Northeast Conference All-Conference Team honorees in the 2020 season, the most in single season program history.
Prior to coaching at the Mount, Samuel spent two seasons as an undergraduate assistant coach at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Among his responsibilities were assisting the coaching staff in opposition scouting, individual and team training sessions, as well as helping with video analysis and ID Camps.
In addition to his time with the Mount and UMBC, Samuel has served as a head coach for numerous youth teams, most notably at Ellicott City SC, FC Frederick, and Virginia Rush.
He holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) "C" Coaching license and a United Soccer Coaches Level I Goalkeeping Diploma.
Samuel graduated from UMBC in 2019 with a degree in Psychology. He also earned a master's degree in Sports Management in 2022 from Mount St Mary's.
