Christopher Streeter steps into the Westfield State Athletic Hall of Fame with a wealth of soccer playing and coaching experience and success.

Coming to Westfield as a transfer student from Division II Merrimack, Streeter stepped directly into the lineup for coach Paul Whalley and promptly earned back to back MASCAC first-team all-conference honors as a Midfielder, and was named to the league’s All-Academic honor roll both seasons.

Streeter helped lead the team to an ECAC Tournament appearance in 1997, as the Owls finished 13-4-1 and won the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season title.

Streeter stayed with the program as an assistant coach, and was known as a strong recruiter that helped build the foundation of the Owls 2000 NCAA Tournament team.

As a player at Merrimack College, Streeter was the Northeast-10 conference rookie of the year in 1993 before eventually transferring to Westfield State.

After Westfield, he continued to play professionally for the Western Massachusetts Pioneers (1997-99) of the United Soccer League as well as the Massachusetts Twisters (2000-03) of the American Indoor Soccer League. As a player, Streeter has also competed in Belgium and South Korea.

As a college coach, Streeter spent time with Westfield, Mount Holyoke, and UMass as an assistant coach. He completed a two-year stint as the head coach of the Bay Path women’s team in 2005-06, returning for a three-year stint as head coach at Bay Path from 2013-2015. He led the Elms College men’s team from 2009-12, leading the team to an 11-win season and an NCAA Tournament bid in 2012, as the team won the NECC Title and Streeter was named the circuit’s coach of the year.

Currently an academy coach with the New England Revolution, Streeter has also served as the Director of Coaching and Technical Development for Amherst Youth Soccer, Northampton Youth Soccer, and Hudson Youth Soccer. He has served as head coach for the U16, U17, an U18 boys GPS premier teams and was a player personnel coordinator for Nigeria, Argentina, Italy, and Greece during FIFA’s 1994 World Cup.

In addition to coaching with the Revolution, Streeter currently teaches Sport Psychology at the University of Bridgeport, Coaching Methodology at Grand Canyon University, and Intro. to Psychology at Goodwin University.
