Matt Gill was hired as Huntingdon's head women's soccer coach in March 2016.

Gill’s tenure has produced one of the most successful stretches for the Lady Hawks during the NCAA era.

In his first three seasons, Gill guided the program to its first three appearances in the USA South Athletic Conference Tournament and set the program’s NCAA-era record for wins in a season.

In 2016, Gill led the Lady Hawks to their first appearance in the USA South Tournament. During his second season, Huntingdon posted its first winning season (11-7-1) of the NCAA era and reached the USA South Tournament quarterfinals for the first time.

In addition to setting the program’s NCAA-era record for wins in a season, the 2017 team also set the program’s NCAA-era records for shutouts (nine), fewest goals allowed in a season (19), most assists (22) and most points (90). The team’s 34 goals scored were the third most for Huntingdon during the NCAA era and the most since 2004.

In 2018, Huntingdon posted a 7-8-3 record and returned to the USA South Tournament quarterfinals. The team allowed 21 goals, the second fewest during the NCAA era, and recorded the second most assists (17), second most points (75) and second most shutouts (eight) during the NCAA era.

Under Gill’s guidance, the program has produced three second-team USA South West Division selections and 32 Academic All-Conference selections.

Gill came to Huntingdon with six years of assistant coaching experience at the Division III level with both women's and men's programs. Prior to Huntingdon, he spent two seasons as an assistant women's coach at Virginia Wesleyan College and helped the Marlins to a 23-17-2 record.

Before Virginia Wesleyan, Gill spent four seasons as an assistant men's coach at his alma mater, Mount Ida College. As a recruiter for Mount Ida, Gill brought in Carlos Martinez. Martinez was a four-time all-conference selection, conference Offensive Player of the Year, third-team All-New England selection and the Mustangs' all-time leading scorer.

Gill graduated from Mount Ida in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in sports management and a concentration in coaching. He also earned his Masters of Science in management from Mount Ida.

As a player for the Mustangs, Gill was a two-time second-team all-conference selection and was named to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference academic all-conference team. Prior to Mount Ida, Gill played two seasons at Garden City College in his home state of Kansas.

Gill is married to the former Sarah Moss.
