Brian Herr returns for his sixth year at Lafayette and brings over a decade of coaching experience, at the club, high school and collegiate levels, to the 2011 Leopards.

A 1998 graduate of Drexel, Herr came to College Hill in 2006 after spending three seasons as an assistant women's soccer coach at Villanova. With the Wildcats, he was responsible for training and developing the goalkeepers. In 2003, Herr helped mentor Villanova to a Big East Championship and a run to the NCAA Regional Semifinals. During his time with the Wildcats, he spent three years developing Jillian Loydon, who was a two-time Big East Goalkeeper of the Year and a First-Team NSCAA All-American.

Prior to his stint at Villanova, Herr was a head coach and goalkeeping director for the FC DELCO Soccer Club. He spent time coaching both the Tar Heels and Fire women's teams, while also organizing training sessions for goalkeepers between the ages of 13 to 19. It was then that Herr and Statham established a working relationship, as both worked in the FC DELCO circle.

Herr was a four-year starter in goal at Drexel, setting the benchmark for career and regular season saves as a senior. He currently ranks 12th all-time in NCAA Division I with 483 career saves. As a sophomore, he earned First Team North Atlantic Conference honors, while his senior season drew Second Team All-American East and Philadelphia Soccer 7 Goalkeeper of the Year accolades.

Professionally, Herr taught for eight years as a secondary math teacher in the West Chester Area School District. He also spent six years (1996-2001) as the assistant camp director and staff coach for the National Olympic Soccer Camps. Herr also has coaching experience on the high school level, as he spent five seasons as an assistant at Radnor (2001-2002) and Conestoga (1998-2000) high schools.

Herr resides on College Hill.
