DENVER – MSU Denver Director of Athletics Todd Thurman announced Friday the promotion of Eric Bracy to Associate Head Coach of the men's soccer program.
 
Bracy joined the staff of head coach Nick Kirchhof in April, 2021, as an assistant coach.
 
"I'm excited about Eric's promotion to the associate head coaching role on our staff," Kirchhof said. "Eric has proven to be a relationship builder, a great recruiter/coach, and he puts tremendous effort into everything he does. Eric has been a fantastic addition to our men's soccer program and I couldn't be happier for Eric to be rewarded for the dedication he's shown MSU Denver men's soccer."
 
He helped the Roadrunners to a 7-8-4 overall record –including 5-3-2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference – in 2023. He was also part of the Roadrunners' second 10-win season since 2016 in 2022, as the team went 10-6-2 overall while finishing a highly-competitive 4-5-1 in the RMAC. Goalkeeper Ross Miller earned multiple RMAC conference awards under Bracy's tutelage.

In his first full season with the Roadrunners, he helped the team to a 4-0-1 finish in the final five games of the regular season in 2021, as the team qualified for the RMAC Tournament for the first time since 2018. The Roadrunners were 8-9-2 overall and 5-4-1 in the RMAC, good for fifth place.

Prior to MSU Denver, Bracy had been the men's assistant coach at Division I North Florida since 2019 while also serving as the goalkeeper coach for the Jacksonville Football Club.
 
Previously Bracy spent one year as an assistant for both the men's and women's teams at Division I Marist. He's also been a women's soccer assistant coach at Arkansas, Brown and Division III Amherst (Mass.). He was also a men's assistant at Amherst, helping the team win the national championship in 2015 while coaching national goalkeeper of the year Thomas Bull.
 
Bracy played collegiately at Hendrix (Ark.) from 2012 through 2015, serving as the team captain in 2014 and 2015.
