Josh Cardin Named Head Women’s Soccer Coach

cardinShoreline Community College is pleased to announce Josh Cardin as Head Women’s Soccer Coach. Cardin has extensive experience coaching soccer at the club and high school levels. He is currently the Boys Soccer Associate Head Coach for his alma mater Mountlake Terrace. Cardin has been an Assistant and Goalkeeper Coach for FC Edmonds since 2014. He currently works with the FC Edmonds G05 team that was the first Girls U9 team to win a U10 State Championship for FC Edmonds. Cardin also spent time working with FC Edmonds Quiet Riot G97. Cardin’s FC Edmonds teams have won or tied 80% of their games under his direction.

Cardin was a three-sport athlete at Mountlake Terrace High School, and as a club soccer player he was named “Defensive Player of the Year” while helping his team to three straight undefeated seasons. As a coach at Mountlake Terrace Cardin has had success with more than just soccer. He helped lead the Men’s Track team to a “combined” State Championship as well as four straight playoff appearances for the Football team.

Cardin takes over a program coming off one of the best seasons in school history. The Phins finished 3rd in the North Region making the NWAC Playoffs. They then rattled off victories over Bellevue and Lane to reach the NWAC Championships at Starfire. Eventual champion Spokane knocked the Phins off in the semi final with a goal in the last minutes of extra time.

Head Baseball Coach Dave Snell’s son makes it to the majors!

While Shoreline’s baseball team’s Head Coach, Dave Snell, was traveling with the Phins this past weekend for a tournament in Canada, his son Blake was pitching against the Yankees in his majors debut.

Blake, who graduated Shorewood High School in 2012, plays for the Tampa Bay Rays’ Triple-A team. He was called up to play in the majors on Saturday for one start to fill a hole in the Rays’ pitching rotation. Touted as one of the league’s top pitching prospects, Snell permitted only one run and two hits while striking out six and walking one.

Congrats to the Snell family!

You can read more about Blake’s debut in this article from The Herald, which also mentions the college. Blake’s story was all over the MLB network this weekend, and the City of Shoreline, Shorewood High School, and Shoreline Community College were all mentioned throughout the MLB’s reporting.
