A four-year starter for the Eagles, Carlson helped the Blue and Gold to conference regular season titles in 2011 and 2013, and an NAIA National Championship appearance in 2013. Originally from Vastra, Sweden, Carlson closed out his ERAU career as one of the Eagles’ top five goalkeepers of all time in four categories, including shutouts (1st, 25), minutes played (2nd, 6,461), saves (3rd, 302) and goals against average (5th, 1.11). Carlson was a two-time first team All-Sun Conference selection and was tabbed as the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and an honorable mention NAIA All-American in 2011. He was named to the Academic All-Conference roster and was a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree in 2014.

Student-Athlete (2003-06)

Head Coach Samantha Baggett Bohon announced Liam McIlhatton as an Embry-Riddle women’s soccer assistant coach in the spring of 2010. McIlhatton played four seasons with the men’s team from 2003-06. McIlhatton’s impact on the men’s lineup was immediate as he earned a spot in the first 11 as a freshman and kept his job as a starting defensive midfielder throughout his career. He played in every match in his first three seasons with the Blue and Gold and was on his way to doing the same as a senior, but was sidelined by a season-ending injury. The Scotland native helped the Eagles to four conference regular season and four regional tournament titles and totaled 28 points on eight goals and 12 assists in 67 career appearances. He received All-Conference recognition twice and was named to the All-Region and honorable mention All-America rosters as a junior. After leaving Embry-Riddle, McIlhatton played semi-pro soccer for St. Anthony’s FC in Scotland. He then went on to combine his knowledge of the sport and his experience playing in the United States as a Senior International Sports Consultant for Firstpoint USA. In addition to his responsibilities with the ERAU women’s team, McIlhatton was a girls’ coach with the Ormond Beach Soccer Club from 2010-13 and was a member of the coaching staff for West Ham United International Academy in Palm Coast from 2011-13. He has been involved with the local PDA since 2013. McIlhatton completed his undergraduate degree in Communications in 2007 and his Master of Science in Aeronautics in 2013. He earned his National Diploma from the NSCAA in January 2013 and completed his Advanced National Diploma in January 2014.

David GREGSON 240-138-30 CAREER RECORD

In 1994, the Embry-Riddle athletic administration made the decision to turn its ailing soccer program around. A nationwide search produced England native, David Gregson, a young coach looking for his first head coaching opportunity. As a young man growing up in England and through his collegiate years as a student-athlete, Gregson enjoyed a fair amount of success in the game of soccer. He has since translated his success as a player into success in the coaching realm as he has become one of the most respected soccer coaches in the country. Gregson garnered one of the highest coaching honors in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics in 2011-12 when he was selected as the NAIA Coach of Character Award Winner. In 2003, Gregson celebrated his 10th anniversary as a head coach by achieving his 100th career victory and guided the Eagles to the EMBRY-RIDDLE SCRANTON HARTWICK national tournament quarterfinals for the first time in program history. The Eagles ended the 2003 season ranked No. 8 nationally and set Head Coach Assistant Coach Student-Athlete program single-season marks for overall wins (18), overall winning percentage (.880) and conference winning percentage (.950). In addition, (1994-Present) (1991-94) (1987-91) the 2003 team was the recipient of the inaugural Nels Dahlquist Memorial Sportsmanship Award for displaying the best sportsmanship at the national tournament. Prior to Gregson’s arrival at Embry-Riddle, the men’s soccer program enjoyed only one winning season in five years. Under Gregson’s watchful eye, the Eagles have gone 240-138-30 overall. ERAU garnered eight Sun Conference regular season titles, three conference tournament titles, five - 240-138-30 (.625) Career Record NAIA Region XIV championships and made nine NAIA national tournament appearances.

After playing for Lancashire and England Schoolboys at the U-19 level, Gregson came to the United States to continue his soccer career in 1987 and accepted a full scholarship to perennial NCAA Division I power, Hartwick College. Under the tutelage of one of the finest soccer instructors in the country, Jim Lennox, Gregson distinguished himself among the Hartwick elite, becoming the team’s first three-year captain and two-time MVP. - First three year team captain in history at Hartwick After earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Management and French at Hartwick, Gregson moved onto the University of Scranton (Pa.) where he completed his Master - Two-time team MVP at Hartwick of Science degree in Secondary Education and began his coaching journey.

Goalkeeping Coach (2015-present)

Student-Athlete (2011-2014)

John Haworth returned to the Embry-Riddle men’s soccer coaching staff in the summer of 2008 after spending four seasons as the head coach at ERAU’s Sun Conference foe Webber International. In his four seasons at the helm of the Webber International program, Haworth guided the Warriors to two top three finishes in the FSC and a Final Four appearance at the NAIA National Tournament in 2006. Named the league’s Coach of the Year in 2007, Haworth’s record as a head coach stands at 40-30-1, including a program best 14-5 mark in 2006. Haworth began his playing career at Embry-Riddle in 1997, when he joined the squad as a goalkeeper. During his freshman year he started in 16 games as the Eagles’ net minder and allowed only 28 goals on the season. His 1.82 goals against average that season ranked him second on the Eagles’ single season list in that category. John’s prowess between the posts was not the only asset to the team, however, as he was asked to make the transition from guarding the nets to joining the attack. In his debut as a forward, he scored a hat trick against Covenant College, thus solidifying his spot on the roster as a field player. His sophomore campaign was a success, but remainder of his career was blighted by a series of injuries. Haworth was forced to sit out the 1999 season to recover from a knee injury and was still plagued by that injury the following year. His senior campaign looked promising as he returned fitter and more determined than ever. But his hopes were dashed when, in his first appearance of the season, he sustained a broken leg, which sidelined him for the remainder of the year. While his playing time was limited, Haworth’s dedication to the program and support of his teammates never waned. It is this enthusiasm that makes him an asset to the coaching staff. He brings a wealth of knowledge of the inner workings of the program to the table as well as a strong rapport with squad members. Haworth earned his Premiere License from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in 2016 and is also an NSCAA Associate Staff Coach. He graduated from Embry-Riddle in Spring 2002 with a degree in Communications and a minor in Business, and completed his master’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Sport Management at Webber International in 2004. Haworth and wife Amy reside in Ormond Beach, Fla. with newborn daughter Lyla.

Former Embry-Riddle goalkeeper Nils Carlson will be serving as the goalkeeping coach for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs in 2015. Carlson played four years for the ERAU men’s soccer team and was the Eagles’ starting goalkeeper in each of his four seasons wearing the Blue and Gold. He helped the Eagles to conference regular season titles in 2011 and 2013, and an NAIA National Championship appearance in 2013. Originally from Vastra, Sweden, Carlson closed out his ERAU career as one of the Eagles’ top five goalkeepers of all time in four categories, including shutouts (1st, 25), minutes played (2nd, 6,461), saves (3rd, 302) and goals against average (5th, 1.11). Carlson was recognized for his accomplishments both on and off the field. A two-time first team All-Sun Conference selection, he was tabbed as the league’s Defensive Player of the Year as a freshman and garnered honorable mention All-America honors that same year. As a senior, he was named to the Academic All-Conference roster and was a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree.

Prior to Gallop’s arrival in Daytona Beach, the Embry-Riddle volleyball program had won just one conference championship, a tournament title in 1998, with no trips to the NAIA National Tournament. Since 2005, Gallop has led the Eagles to seven conference regular season titles, five conference tournament crowns and five trips to the NAIA National Tournament, including a quarterfinal appearance in 2011. During the Eagles’ time in the NAIA and Sun Conference, Gallop engineered a league dynasty, putting together five consecEMBRY-RIDDLE SAINT MARY’S SAN JOSE STATE utive undefeated seasons in conference play, including a 76-match winning streak that spanned six different seasons. Gallop’s Head Coach Asst. Coach Student-Athlete (97-00) teams won an unprecedented 90% of conference games (120-13) from 2005-14, losing just twice over the final seven seasons in The Sun Conference.

Under Gallop’s guidance, a number of Embry-Riddle student-athletes have garnered individual recognition, including 41 All-Conference selections, seven All-America honorees and eight honorable mention All-Americans. Her protégé accolades include NAIA - 256-112 (.696) Career Record All-Americans Abby Hall (2010, and 2011), Jordan Holcomb (2012), Tamires Ferreira (2014), Adriana Vazquez (2011 and 2012) and - 120-13 (.902) Conference Record Taylor Martin (2012).

john PHILLIPS DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

John Phillips was named Embry-Riddle’s Director of Athletics in January 2014 after serving as the Eagles’ Associate Athletics Director for seven years. Born and raised in Kensington, Maryland, Phillips came to Daytona Beach in 1989, enrolling as a student at Embry-Riddle. Phillips played baseball for the Eagles for three seasons, while completing both his undergraduate (B.S., 1990) and graduate degrees (M.S., 1992). Phillips returned to the University as the program’s first-ever Director of Sports Marketing and Promotions in August 1997, and was subsequently named Assistant Director of Athletics in 1998. In 2007, he was named Associate Director of Athletics, supervising the day-to-day operations of the athletic department, including facilities, game management, sports information, sports medicine and sports marketing for the Daytona Beach campus. During his tenure at Embry-Riddle, Phillips has served as the tournament director for all nine NAIA national championships that Embry-Riddle has hosted, including five for golf and four national soccer tournaments. In 2008, the NAIA honored him with the Charles Morris Award as the NAIA’s National Athletic Administrator of the Year. In addition, he was honored by The Sun Conference as the league’s Athletic Director of the Year in 2014-15. In 2010, Phillips was named to the Board of Directors for the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA), becoming just the second administrator from an NAIA institution to be named to this board. In addition to serving on the Board of Directors for NACMA, he is also a past chair of the NAIA-NACMA Advisory Board, a panel of NAIA administrators that provided leadership and professional development opportunities in sports marketing to other NAIA institutions. Internally, Phillips has served the University in numerous other capacities during his 19-years on staff, including Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Reaccreditation Audit Team, ERAU’s Women’s Initiative Committee, ERAU’s Diversity and Inclusion Task Force and the Embry-Riddle Alumni Advisory Council. Locally, Phillips currently serves as the Chair of the Daytona Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Sports Advisory Committee. This committee is charged with providing guidance and marketing expertise in attracting regional, national and international sporting events to the Daytona Beach community. In 2015, he was nominated to serve on the Halifax Area Advertising Authority (HAAA) Board of Directors. HAAA is charged with promoting tourism offerings within the greater Daytona Beach area, from Ponce Inlet to Ormond By The Sea. During his tenure at Embry-Riddle, the sports marketing and promotions staff has earned 24 NACMA “Best of” awards, including gold medals for things such as “sponsorship activation,” “best student promotion” and “best targeted group promotion.” He has been a featured speaker on topics related to sports marketing at the NAIA convention on seven different occasions, at the CoSIDA Convention in 2011 and 2012, and at the NACMA Convention on eight separate occasions since 2008. He has presented on topics such as “Big Time Promotions on a Small-Time Budget,” Social Networking and the “Brand of You.” The sports information staff at Embry-Riddle has also garnered national attention during his tenure, capturing over 60 CoSIDA awards for Excellence in Publications. ERAU Sports Information was also honored on seven occasions with the NAIA’s Gary Spitler Award for the best overall sports publications in the NAIA. Phillips has also served as the voice of Embry-Riddle basketball for the last 19 seasons and has also done broadcast work for the Eagles baseball team since 1999. In addition to his broadcast work for ERAU, he has worked as the public address announcer for both the Daytona Cubs and DeLand High School football. In his current role with WNDB (1150-AM & 93.5-FM), he anchors WNDB’s motorsports coverage for events such as the Rolex 24, the Daytona 500 and the Coke Zero 400. He has also served as the play-by-play announcer for high school football and basketball, working for WSBB (New Smyrna Beach), WNDA (DeLand) and WELE (Ormond Beach). Phillips and his wife Ann are parents of Lauren, Zachary and Rachel.
