Errol Wilson, a former standout goalie at Stony Brook while playing for now University of Virginia Head Coach, Lars Tiffany, brings a wealth of coaching experience to the Stars and Stripes 2030 staff. Wilson has held several key positions throughout his career, most notably at Lehigh University, where he has been instrumental since 2015. Initially serving as Lehigh’s defensive coordinator, Wilson transitioned to offensive coordinator in 2016, a role he previously held at Brown University. His final position at Lehigh was as Associate Head Coach under now Virginia Offensive Coordinator, Kevin Cassise.

During his tenure at Lehigh, Wilson also served as associate offensive coordinator, goalie coordinator, and camps/clinics/tournaments coordinator. In his first season with the Mountain Hawks, Wilson helped the team achieve unprecedented success, including a school-record 14 wins, a nine-game winning streak, and the highest national ranking in program history (No. 4). This season culminated in Lehigh’s first Patriot League Tournament Title and NCAA Tournament appearance. Wilson had previously led Brown to the 2009 NCAA Tournament as an assistant coach. 

Wilson’s expertise in developing goalies was highlighted through his work with All-American goalie Matt Poillon, who achieved a 6.75 goals against average and a 59.7 save percentage, earning him Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year honors. Under Wilson’s guidance, the Mountain Hawks boasted the nation’s No. 2 scoring defense, with several players receiving All-Patriot League recognition. In subsequent seasons, Wilson continued to lead Lehigh to national prominence, including consecutive Patriot League titles and multiple NCAA Tournament appearances. His defensive units consistently ranked among the best in the nation, while his strategies on both sides of the ball led to standout performances from players such as Ty Souders (uncle to 2030 players Logan & Deakon) and Reid Weber. 

Before his time at Lehigh, Wilson made significant contributions at Rutgers and Brown. At Rutgers, he helped the Scarlet Knights to a strong start in 2011, with the defense allowing just 8.27 goals per game.
