Carter Lincoln

Carter Lincoln begins his sixth season as the Clarkson University Men's Soccer coach for the 2025-26 season.

Lincoln spent the last two years as an assistant coach at Syracuse University, the NCAA Division I National Champions in 2022. In his two seasons with the Orange, Lincoln helped the team to a 16-12-10 record including an NCAA Tournament in 2023 where the team advanced to the second round.

In his first tenure with the Golden Knights (2018-2022), Lincoln produced a 34-24-11 record over four campaigns (.572 winning percentage) and coached four United Soccer Coaches All-Region selections, including one All-American. In just his second year at the helm for the Knights, Clarkson advanced to the Liberty League Championship game. Following the non-season for COVID in the fall of 2020, Clarkson posted 13 wins in two years, recording a 9-4-3 record in 2022 which also included the team's first national ranking in two decades.

Before his stint with the Golden Knights, Lincoln was the assistant coach at his alma mater, University of Vermont, for one year. Lincoln's coaching career actually began at Clarkson when he was the graduate assistant coach in 2015-16 under Chris Taylor. A native of Essex Junction, VT, Lincoln holds a USSF 'C' level coaching license.

Lincoln graduated from University of Vermont in 2015 with a degree in Community and International Development and then received his master's degree in Management at SUNY Potsdam in 2020. He played for the Catamounts for three years after transferring from Division II Southern New Hampshire University. Over those four total seasons, he appeared in 45 games with 10 starts, scoring one goal.
