Last week, South Shore Select announced that Jessica Clinton has been named the club’s Director of Coaching and Director of Goalkeeping.
It’s an excellent move for SSS, as Clinton is extremely well-accomplished and is a name that is very familiar within soccer circles in this region.
The 2004 Boston University grad remains one of the Terriers' all-time great goalkeepers, as she sits at the top of the school record books in saves in a season (98) and saves in a career (312), while also ranking high in career goals-against average (1.10) andcareer save percentage (.802).
The 2003 America East Goalkeeper of the Year, Clinton was a member of three AE championship teams (2000, 2001, 2003). She was an America East All-Conference First Team honoree in 2001 and 2003, while collecting NSCAA All-Northeast Region Team honors as a senior. In addition, Clinton trained with the Boston Breakers of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) for one season in 2003.
