Former Slippery Rock University men’s soccer standout Joe Agerskow returns for his second season on the Slippery Rock sidelines in 2016. Agerskow will serve as a volunteer working with the goalkeepers on head coach Steve Small's staff this season.
A former graduate assistant at The Rock, Agerskow helped lead SRU to a PSAC Championship a season ago.
In his first season as an SRU coach in 2015, Agerskow helped lead Slippery Rock to a 14-6 record and the program’s eighth Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship.
The 2015 squad led the PSAC, and ranked 35th in the nation, in goals scored with 40. Defensively, Slippery Rock allowed just 20 goals, the second fewest in the PSAC. Agerskow helped coach All-PSAC honorees Peter Boylan, Ryan Boylan, Ryan Lutke and Matt Sangermano. Lutke went on to earn all-region honors as well.
Prior to entering the coaching profession, Agerskow was a goalkeeper at Slippery Rock for two seasons in 2012 and 2013. For his career, Agerskow appeared in 11 matches with The Rock, going 5-1-3 with 53 saves and just 10 goals allowed in 968 minutes of playing time.
A native of Yorkshire, England, Agerskow began his collegiate career at Genesee Community College where he led the Cougars to a 16-2-2 record and a national runner-up finish on the year as a sophomore prior to transferring to Slippery Rock.
Agerskow graduated from Slippery Rock in 2014 with a degree in sport management. He is currently studying in the adaptive physical activity program at Slippery Rock.
