University of Charleston Athletics

Curtis was inducted into the Golden Eagle Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.

Curtis turned the University of Charleston into a Division II men’s soccer powerhouse. He compiled a 68-30-8 record over five seasons and led the 1999 Golden Eagles to a 21-2 record and a berth in the NCAA Division II national semifinals. Charleston outscored its opponents that season by a 112-10 margin.

For his efforts, Curtis was named both the WVIAC and Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year, and was one of eight candidates in contention for the Division II National Coach of the Year Award. A USSF “A” licensed coach, he also taught in Charleston’s Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department.
