Mark Collings
Assistant Coach

Mark Collings joined the Washington men's soccer program as an assistant coach in July 2021 after a successful 14 year run as the head coach at Seattle Pacific University.

“Mark is a huge addition to the Husky Men’s Soccer program,” Clark said. “He is a fantastic coach who really cares about the players he works with. He builds relationships and is someone that players respect and trust. Mark has a huge amount of experience in leading his own teams and has enjoyed a lot of successes along the way.  He expects a lot out of the teams he works with and I know our guys will enjoy working with him.”

Through the 2020 season, Collings directed Seattle Pacific to a 129-68-32 record, two Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships and a stretch of five consecutive NCAA Division II Tournament berths from 2011-15.

"I'm so excited to be joining Jamie and the Husky soccer program,” Collings said. “The University of Washington is one of the top academic institutions in the country and Jamie has built a soccer program to match.  To have the opportunity to learn from Jamie and the rest of the staff was something that I couldn't pass up.  I can't wait to work with the talented group of student athletes that are on the roster."

Collings’ coaching highlights include school-record streaks of 13 consecutive victories and 15 games unbeaten established in 2014 along with absorbing the fewest losses in a campaign with just one in 2015 (14-1-4).

Collings collected his third GNAC Coach of the Year award in 2015 (also 2010 & 2014) after directing SPU to a 14-1-4 record and the team's fifth straight NCAA Division II playoff berth. They won the GNAC championship with a 10-1-3 record and participated in the West Regional semifinal.

The 2014 season saw Collings honored as the conference Co-Coach of the Year and all 11 players in his starting lineup received all-league recognition, four more than any other team. He directed Seattle Pacific to a 16-2-2 record, including a school-record 13-game winning streak. They captured the school's first outright GNAC championship with a 12-1-1 mark.

Collings was named the 2010 GNAC Co-Coach of the Year after leading SPU to a 10-6-2 overall record and a second-place league mark of 7-2-1.

As a player, Collings played four seasons for Seattle Pacific (1995-98), with each team making the NCAA playoffs. He was a member and co-captain of the program’s Final Four team in 1998.

Ryan Fahey
Assistant Coach

Ryan Fahey enters his second season on Jamie Clark's staff in 2025 after being named an assistant coach ahead of the 2024 campaign.

In his first year with the Huskies, Fahey helped guide Washington back to the NCAA tournament after missing out on the national competition in 2023. Along with Coach Clark and the rest of the Husky coaching staff, Fahey helped Washington claim an NCAA tournament first round victory and led the Dawgs to a fourth-place conference finish in their first Big Ten season.

Prior to joining the Huskies, Fahey served as both head coach and associate head coach of University of Connecticut men's soccer. Under his direction, UConn reached the Big East Tournament semifinal in 2023, winning the team's first tournament game since 2018 in the process
