One of the most respected and well-regarded coaches in New England, Bryant University head women's soccer coach Chris Flint has built the Bulldog program into one of the region's best over the past ten seasons.  

Entering his 12th season at the helm of the women's soccer program, Flint has compiled a record of 110-90-22. Flint will lead the Bulldogs into their last year of a four-year transition period into Division I when they will become full members of the Northeast Conference in 2012-2013.

Leading the Bulldogs in their third season of Division I play, Flint helped the squad to a record of 5-13-2 in 2010. The Bulldogs, predicted to finish eighth in the NEC in the preseason coaches' poll beat that forecast finishing seventh, and gave some of the top teams in the conference scares in the process.

In 2009, the Bulldogs finished with a record of 4-13-2. With Flint’s coaching ability the 2009 women’s soccer team made history as Mary Green was the first-ever women's soccer player to earn postseason Northeast Conference (NEC) accolades as she was named to the Second Team All-NEC.

In their 2008 inaugural season, the Bulldogs had an impressive season including wins over Northern Colorado, Wagner, NJIT, Cornell and Quinnipiac. The Colby College graduate won his 100th game with the Bryant soccer program on October 24, 2008 at Bulldog Stadium with a 1-0 victory over the Cornell Big Red.

In 2007, Bryant set a new school record with 17 victories, advancing to its  second consecutive NCAA tournament berth. During the course of the season, Bryant reached a No. 2 national ranking, thanks in part to a 2-1 win over nationally-ranked Franklin Pierce at the Bryant Turf Complex.

Flint and the 2007 Bulldogs placed two standouts, then-junior defender Danielle Malta and then-senior midfielder Tricia Spada, on the NSCAA All-American First Team, while Malta also earned an Academic All-American nod as well as garnering a Daktronics Third Team All-American accolade. Five players were named all-conference and all-region selections, as the Bulldogs finished the year ranked No. 13 nationally.

In 2006, Flint guided the Bulldogs to a then-school record 15 wins, including an appearance in the NE-10 Championship Game and an NCAA tournament berth. Four players earned all-conference honors in 2006, including Casey Grange, who set school records for goals in a season and a career, and became the first Bulldog to score 100 career points. Grange also became the first Bulldog to earn an All-American selection.

Flint won his 100th career game on October 8, 2006 in a 2-1 victory over Holy Family University.

Just three years into his tenure at Bryant, Flint coached the Bulldogs to the first back-to-back winning seasons in school history, 13-8 in 2001 and 8-6-3 in 2002.

Under Flint's tutelage, Bryant earned its first-ever national ranking and NCAA berth (both in 2001) and has boasted 25 all-conference and 21 all-region selections as well as a pair of NE-10 Defensive Players of the Year.

With all his success, it comes as no surprise that Flint himself has two Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year awards as well as a pair of Regional Coach of the Year accolades. Flint was also named the NEWISA Coach of the Year in 2001.

Flint came to Bryant after spending four seasons as head coach at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. After going 3-14-0 in his first year, Flint led Massachusetts College to its first winning campaign in five seasons with a 10-8-0 showing in 1998. His squad finished the 1999 season with a 9-9-1 overall record, including two wins against teams that reached the NCAA tournament.

Before joining the staff at Massachusetts College, Flint spent one year as a graduate assistant men's soccer coach at Springfield College, having also worked as an assistant baseball coach at St. Thomas Aquinas High School (Dover, N.H.) and as an assistant soccer and alpine ski coach at Dover (N.H.) High School. Flint also served as the Girls' Director of Coaching for the Rhode Island Olympic Development Program.

Flint is a 1992 graduate of Colby College, where he was a standout for the White Mule soccer team. Flint led Colby in scoring in three of his four seasons and was an All-New England selection as a junior. Earning his undergraduate degree in business administration, Flint added a master's degree in sport management from Springfield College in 1995.

Flint holds a premier coaching diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Originally from Brookline, N.H., Flint and his wife, Karen, have two sons, Andrew and Tucker, and reside in Barrington, R.I.
