Rusty Scarborough has been named head coach of the Greensboro College men's soccer team, Pride Athletics Director Kim Strable announced.

Scarborough has nearly 20 years of soccer coaching experience in North Carolina. Most recently, he served as the director of coaching for the Twister Soccer Club in Greensboro. Scarborough also is an assistant coach for the Carolina Dynamo of the USL D-3 Pro League. 

Previously Scarborough served as an assistant coach for UNC Greensboro (1995-99). He also held head coaching jobs at North Carolina Wesleyan College, Greensboro Day School, Providence Day School, Oxford Orphanage and Kerr Vance Academy.

A graduate of Campbell University, Scarborough received an advanced national degree from the National Soccer Coaches' Association of America in 1998 and holds a class B soccer coaching license. 

"While we certainly did not want to lose Darren Powell, Greensboro College is fortunate to have someone of Rusty Scarborough's caliber," said Strable. "His experience at the college level--and contacts in the North Carolina soccer community make him the ideal choice to lead our men's soccer team."

Powell, Scarborough's predecessor, was 50-12-3 in three seasons for GC. He led The Pride to three Dixie Conference championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances and the national title game in 1998.

Scarborough lives in Greensboro with his wife, Dayna. They have two children: Kirstyn (14) and Draegen (12).
