RALEIGH, N.C. - Glen Tourville has been named the NC State women's soccer associate head coach, as announced by head coach Tim Santoro.
"To add someone of Glen's experience and knowledge was exactly the goal of the search," Santoro said. "Recruiting the best people is always my goal, whether its players or staff. Glen's got an abundance of successful experience at all levels (youth, ODP, college and professional) and will add the expertise that NC State needs to keep evolving."
"Glen and I have known each other for almost 15 years and have always tried to unite on the same staff. I'm glad the opportunity to work together is finally here."
Tourville most recently served as director of coaching with the Classic Eagles Soccer Club in Columbus, Ohio, since 2014.
Prior to his role with the Classic Eagles, Tourville served as both associate head coach and assistant coach at Ohio State University from 2008-2014. During that tenure, he played a prominent role in leading the Buckeyes to several program firsts, including the only Big 10 regular season conference title (2010), the program's only appearance in the NCAA College Cup (2010), the program's longest consecutive streak in the NCAA Tournament (five consecutive appearances) and the Buckeyes' most recent Big 10 Tournament championship (2012).
Tourville, who has a Bachelor's and Master's degree from Aurora (Ill.) University, has 17 years of collegiate head coaching experience in addition to 14 years as a coach with USYSA Region II Olympic Development Program.
Tourville's ODP experience included twice serving as Region II Head Coach for teams that played in France (2005) and Costa Rica (2007).
Before Ohio State, Tourville spent one season at West Texas A&M after 11 years as the assistant athletics director and head coach for men's and women's soccer at NCAA Division III Hendrix College in Conway, Ark.
Tourville began coaching in 1982 as an assistant coach with the University of Illinois-Chicago men's soccer program. After playing collegiately at Illinois-Chicago after transferring from Eastern Illinois, Tourville gained professional soccer playing experience over four seasons in the American Soccer League and Major Indoor Soccer League.
Tourville, who also coached professionally as the head coach of the Rockford Raptors of the USISL Men's Professional Division (1995), has the following coaching licenses: USSF National "A" License, NSCAA Premier Diploma and USSF National Goalkeeper License. He also served as a member of the 1994 FIFA World Cup Technical Study Group.
Tourville and his wife, Paula, have a daughter (Micaela) and two sons (Chase and Austin).
