Eric Barnes begins his first season as a graduate assistant/goalkeepers coach with the University of Pittsburgh men's soccer program. A former Pitt goalkeeper and current Pitt law student, Barnes' primary responsibility will be training current Pitt goalkeepers on proper techniques and strategies. Barnes will also assist in recruiting. "Eric has transferred his passion for the game from playing to coaching," Pitt Head Coach Joe Luxbacher said. "He is a self-motivated student of the game who will provide our goalkeepers with much-needed instruction and experience everyday at practice and in games." As a Pitt player, Barnes registered six wins with two shutouts, recorded 88 saves and finished his two-year career with a 1.42 goals against average. Prior to Pitt, Barnes played two seasons at George Mason where he registered a 0.99 goals against average, recorded 63 saves, complied a .808 save percentage and finished with five shutouts after seeing action in 14 games and 1360 minutes with the Patriots. Barnes was honored with the Martin Dunphy Goalkeeper of the Year award during his time at George Mason. Barnes also earned the Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner's Academic Award, National Dean's List and Athletic Director's Honor Roll accolades. A 2004 graduate of South Aiken High School in Aiken, S.C., Barnes is currently working on his law degree at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. |
