Keith Moore enters his fourth season as the head men's soccer coach at Elmira College in the fall of 2016.
In his three seasons at the helm, 13 of Moore’s players have taken home Empire 8 All-Conference honors. The seven E8 All-Conference selections earned in 2013 proved to be the most for Elmira in over 10 years.
In 2015, Moore architected one of the greatest turnarounds in program history, transforming a one-win club into an Empire 8 contender in a single season. A nine-game unbeaten streak helped vault the Purple and Gold into the E8 Tournament, where the Soaring Eagles dropped a heart-breaking contest on penalty kicks against Ithaca College after 100 scoreless minutes of double-overtime play.
Moore also helped form Michael Bryant '17 into one of the most lethal strikers in the country in the fall of 2015. An E8 All-Conference First Teamer, NSCAA All-East Region Third Teamer, and an ECAC Upstate First-Team All-Star, Bryant ranked fifth in the nation in goals per game (1.06). Additionally, his 18 goals were the second-most scored in a season in team history and just two shy of the record set in 1990.
Moore is no stranger to the Elmira College program, having served as the assistant coach during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. During Moore's time on the bench six different Soaring Eagles earned all-conference accolades as the team finished with a combined record of 23-13-3. In the 2009 season he was crucial in assisting Empire 8 Coach of the Year Jeremiah Kneeland.
Moore then moved on from EC to Keystone College and served as the head coach for the past two seasons. While at Keystone he guided the Giants to a 4-4-1 conference mark in 2012, as the team earned a postseason berth for the second straight year. His leadership in guiding the Giants to the playoffs was recognized by his fellow conference coaches, naming him 2011 CSAC Men's Soccer Coach of the Year.
Prior to his stint at Elmira, Moore was a four year athlete at NCAA Division I University of Maine-Orono, (America East Conference) from 2000-04. After his collegiate experience, Moore went on to play in the Professional Development League of the United States Soccer League for the Brooklyn Knights.
He holds United States Soccer Federation 'B' License and NSCAA Advanced National Coaching Diploma.
Moore is a native of Shoreham, NY and holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine and a master's degree in Education from Elmira College.
