Gabe Kuhn was named the head coach of the men's soccer program on January 20, 2025. Kuhn joins the Bombers as the 12th head coach in program history.
Kuhn has most recently served as the head coach of Alfred State, where the program has steadily improved since he took the helm in 2019. This past fall, the Pioneers had a historic campaign, marking their third consecutive winning season with a 13-3-3 overall record and an unbeaten 6-0-2 conference record. For the first time in program history, the team went unbeaten in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play, conceding just one goal throughout the conference season. The Pioneers also achieved a significant milestone by becoming AMCC Conference regular season champions for the first time. Kuhn was named the AMCC Coach of the Year, earning back-to-back honors, and coached Jack Leahy, who became the first Pioneer to earn United Soccer Coaches All-American Third Team honors in program history.
He heads to the South Hill with a career coaching record of 48-39-8. He helped lead a program turnaround with Pioneers as they went 1-15 during his first season and achieved the most wins in program history (17) during the 2023 season where they made their most recent NCAA Tournament appearance.
Kuhn began his coaching career as an assistant coach at McDaniel College, where he also gained experience coaching at the club and high school levels within the Maryland and All-Atlantic region. Before joining Alfred State, he served as an assistant coach at Stevenson University from 2016 through the 2018 season, where he helped lead the Mustangs to their most wins since 2010 and their first-ever appearance in the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs.

At Harford Community College, Kuhn was named to the First Team All-Maryland JUCO, First Team All-Region, All-Maryland Tournament Team, and the 2010-2020 All-Decade team for the Fighting Owls.
