Tennessee-Martin coach records 200th win

Friday’s win over Morehead State gave Skyhawks head soccer coach Phil McNamara his 200th career victory.

McNamara has coached at Virginia Intermont and Carson-Newman before coming to Tennessee-Martin, having coached for 14 seasons.

“I have been blessed to have coached a number of quality players the last 14 seasons,” McNamara said in a press release. “Not only have we won championships but I have had kids that are willing to learn and work their socks off for my programs.”
