Maryland-Eastern Shore Hires Charlie Goens As Coach
Maryland-Eastern Shore on Thursday named Charlie Goens as head baseball coach, replacing John O’Neil, who had been interim coach the past two seasons.
O’Neil stays on as associate head coach to Goens, who for one year was head coach at Davis & Elkins College, a Division II program in West Virginia. Prior to that, Goens spent four seasons at Richmond as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator as well as a stint as interim head coach after longtime coach Mark McQueen resigned in 2013 and before Tracy Woodson was hired.
Goens also spent 13 years as a high school coach in Virginia and Florida.
“Charlie emerged as the top candidate from a lengthy list of qualified candidates,” Hawks athletic director Keith Davidson said in a statement. “His experience at many levels and a proven record of finding top talent to play for his teams will help us continue moving this program in the right direction.”
“I want to thank Dr. Juliette B. Bell, the search committee and Mr. Davidson for the opportunity they have given me at Maryland Eastern Shore.” Goens said. “I also wish to thank my wife and family for their support. I can’t wait to get started here, and I look forward to working with these players and winning championships here on The Shore!”
