Jeff Bailey ‘94
Jeff Bailey has had two Hall of Fame careers at Franklin Pierce College.

The first occurred as a two-time All-America for the men's soccer team. The second continues as the coach of the national champion FP
women's soccer team.

Bailey, a native of Manchester, England, first came to Rindge in 1988 as the program was moving from the NAIA to the NCAA Division II level. A versatile player who was comfortable anywhere on the field, Bailey quickly became part of the foundation for the Ravens' run of nine straight trips to the national tournament.

He is currently 10th on the career scoring list with 69 points, 10th in goals with 18 and sixth in assists with 33.

Bailey was a four-time All-New England selection and, incredibly came back from a knee injury that sidelined him during the 1990 season, to become an All-America in 1991 and 1992. In 1991, he helped the Ravens to what was their most successful season as they went 18-4-1, won the New England Collegiate Conference and reached the Final Four of the NCAA Division II tournament.

After a stint in the business world, Bailey came back to Rindge in 1996 as assistant athletic director and coach of the women's soccer team.

The groundwork for the dynasty that is the FP
women's soccer program ha already been laid by, among others, Bailey's predecessor, Mark Krikorian, and fellow Hall of Fame inductee Ewa Bergsten. Since then, Bailey has maintained the tradition - even heightening the lore - by winning three championships in four years and recording an incomparable record of 87-4.

The Ravens are currently 7-1, ranked first in New England and second nationally.

Bailey and his wife Beth, a 1990 FP
graduate, live in Manchester, N.H., and are expecting their first child.
