Whereas, since his arrival in 2010, Coach Noonan has brought the Clemson soccer program national attention, taking the team from eight wins or less in 2010, 2011, and 2012, to eleven wins in 2013, twelve in 2014, and seventeen in 2015; and

Whereas, he was also named the National Soccer Coaches Association of America's South Region Coach of the Year and took his team to a 17-3-4 overall record, and a 6-1-1 record in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play; and

Whereas, after six seasons as head coach, Coach Noonan led the Clemson Tigers to the 2015 College Cup Final for the first time in twenty-eight seasons; and

Whereas, adding to this accomplishment, he coached four players to NSCAA All-America honors and coached seven players to All-ACC recognition, including ACC Defensive Player of the Year Kyle Fisher and ACC Midfielder of the Year Paul Clowes; and

Whereas, for the last three seasons, Coach Noonan has led Clemson to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament, reaching the first round in 2013, the Sweet 16 in 2014, and the NCAA national title match in 2015; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that Mike Noonan has brought to Clemson University and to our State and look to hear of his continued achievements in the future. Now, therefore,
