Matt Anderson.
Anderson served as an Assistant Coach at St. Francis Brooklyn for two years after joining the Terriers in 2019.

Anderson also spent time as an Assistant Men's Soccer Coach with The King's College from 2018 to 2019. He assisted the team's head coach with all duties on and off the field. He coached two players that would go on to win Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Rookie and Player of the Year awards and United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Team of the Year awards. Additionally, Anderson aided the Lions in reaching their first ever playoff and national tournament appearances.
