In just two seasons as the head women's soccer coach at Le Moyne
College, Jimmy Riverso has already made his mark on the program.
Riverso, a former standout on the Le Moyne men's soccer team,
served as the program's top assistant for the 2003-05 seasons.
In his first season, Riverso guided a young team to its first
Northeast-10 Conference tournament appearance since 2000. The
Dolphins posted an 8-8-1 record overall and went 6-7-1 in the
Northeast-10 Conference. Under Riverso's direction, freshman
striker Christina Harrison became the program's first
all-Northeast-10 Conference first team selection. The Dolphins were
6-2-1 at home in 2006.
In 2007, Riverso led the Dolphins to their first winning season
since 2000. Riverso's squad opened the year with four consecutive
victories, yielding only two goals. After jumping out to a 7-2
start, including a 4-2 record in Northeast-10 Conference action, Le
Moyne finished its season 9-8-1, 5-8-1 in conference play.
In addition to their success on the field, the Dolphins have been
honored in 2006 and 2007 with the Northeast-10 Conference
Sportsmanship Award. Additionally, four Le Moyne women's soccer
student-athletes received NE-10 All-Academic honors in
‘07.
In addition to his three seasons with the Dolphins, Riverso has
spent the last four years as a staff coach with the Syracuse
Football Club. He also served as the head coach for the Bishop
Ludden modified boy's team for the 2002 season.
Riverso put together a distinguished playing career with the
Dolphins. A four-year letter winner, Riverso was named all-region
and second-team all-Northeast-10 Conference in 2000 and 2001. He
served as a team captain in his senior season. The Dolphins won 11
games in his final season, sparking a program-record streak of five
consecutive seasons of double-digit wins under head coach Tom
Bonus. Riverso played his high school soccer at Christian Brothers
Academy.
Before returning to his alma mater, Riverso began his professional
career as a case manager for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program
at P.E.A.C.E. Inc.
Riverso graduated from Le Moyne College with a degree in Sociology
in 2002 and received his Masters Degree in Education from Le Moyne
in 2005. He currently holds a NSCAA National diploma.
