The longtime coach most recently helped guide the Lions to the 2016 Sunshine State Conference regular season and tournament championship.
He posted a 123-66-12 overall record in his decade-plus of coaching, leading the Lions to seven NCAA tournament appearances during that period.
He leveraged that success into a coveted Division I coaching opportunity.
“I am very happy for Ged and his new position in collegiate soccer,” Saint Leo athletic director Francis X. Reidy said, in a statement. “He has been a tremendous coach and team member for the last 15 years at Saint Leo. He built a winning culture as evidenced by multiple Coach of the Year awards, Sunshine State Conference titles, SSC tournament titles, and NCAA post-season appearances.
“He recruited some amazing young women, and has built a great foundation for the next coach. “
A national search for a new Saint Leo head women’s soccer coach is underway.
