Gerson Echeverry

Induction:
2013

One of the greatest men's soccer players to wear a Pirates uniform, Gerson Echeverry cemented his legacy as one of the nation's elite from 1990–93. A three-time All-BIG EAST performer, Echeverry led Seton Hall to back-to-back BIG EAST regular season titles and three straight NCAA Tournament appearances. In 1991, he put together what is arguably the finest single-season performance in Pirates history. He finished third in the nation with 52 points and was named BIG EAST Player of the Year and third-team All-America. At the time of his induction, he ranked fourth in program history in points (114), third in assists (32) and sixth in goals (41). After a stellar professional career, both overseas and with MLS, he started his coaching career as an assistant at Seton Hall, then with the U.S. U17 national team and now as the Pirates head coach.
