Matt Cosinuke, former assistant coach at Dartmouth College, has joined the University of Cincinnati men's soccer staff as volunteer assistant coach, head coach Hylton Dayes announced today.

"We are excited to have Matt join our coaching staff," said Dayes. "He is an excellent young coach, with a solid background in the game who will primarily work with our goalkeepers."

Cosinuke comes to UC after two seasons at Dartmouth, where he coached under former Bearcats head coach Jeff Cook and alongside former Bearcats letterwinner Johan Cedergren. He helped the Big Green to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and trip to the Sweet 16 in 2010. Cosinuke mentored 2011 all-Ivy League selection Noah Cohen, who posted six shutouts in leading Dartmouth to the Ivy League Championship.

After graduating from Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H., Cosinuke played Division I soccer at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla. During the 2009 season, he served as an assistant coach at Florida Atlantic University in addition to his extensive involvement with local youth soccer clubs and camps.

Cosinuke holds the Advanced National Goalkeeping License from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and several licenses from the US Soccer Federation. He is a native of Lebanon, N.H.
