PITTSBURGH – Head Coach Al Alvine has added Dave Gray to the Duquesne women's soccer coaching staff for the 2021 season.
 
Gray previously served as an assistant coach with the Dukes in 2013 and 2014 and returns to the Bluff after a second successful run as the head girl's coach at Upper St. Clair High School since 2015.
 
"We are beyond excited to welcome Dave back to the Bluff," Alvine said. "His experience, knowledge and ability will make him a tremendous asset to our program. Dave's passion for the game and for teaching are evident from the first moment you speak to him.  We are fortunate to add him to the Duquesne community."
 
"I'm thrilled to have the chance to return to Duquesne and work with Coach Alvine again," Gray said. "I had a great experience the first time with the team, the school and the people at Duquesne. I can't wait to get back on the field and work in the A-10 again. I'm looking forward to the opportunity."
 
Upper St. Clair won its first-ever PIAA Championship in 2015 under Gray's tutelage. Prior to his first stint as a Duquesne assistant coach, Gray was the head coach at Upper St. Clair from 2004-12. He amassed over 200 wins during his two tenures on the Panther sidelines, including a 2011 WPIAL Championship.
 
Gray has also served as a youth coach with Century United since 2004 and assumed the role of Director of Coaching in 2017. In addition, he spent four years as an assistant coach with the Fort Pitt Regiment of the National Premier Soccer League from 2014-18.
