A program-high 10 Spartans earned Academic All-WAC distinction.

Leightman arrived from his alma mater, Binghamton (N.Y.) University, where he compiled a record of 102-66-1 from 1998-07. He led the Bearcats to the 2004 America East Conference regular-season and tournament titles and an NCAA Championship berth, earning AEC Coach of the Year honors.

Leightman has worked at the collegiate level for 16 years, having coached a nationally-ranked NCAA Division III program, a regionallyranked Division I program at Villanova and a Division I national champion at North Carolina prior to leading Binghamton.

Leightman led Binghamton to the America East semifinals in 2005 and 2007, and the quarterfinals in 2006. The Bearcats were ECAC runners-up in 1999 and semifinalists in 2001 and 2003. Leightman has served as the America East Women's Soccer Coaches' Chair from 2005-07, the National Chairman for the NSCAA rankings and the East Region Chairman for the NSCAA ScholarAthlete All-America Committee.

Leightman has been involved with the Olympic Development Program since 2002. He was a United States Youth Soccer Region I staff coach at the U13 and U14 levels, as well as the head coach of the New York State West ODP U16 and U17 teams.

As an assistant coach at Villanova in 1997, Leightman helped guide the Wildcats to an 8-8-2 record, the Big East Tournament semifinals and an ECAC Tournament appearance. At North Carolina in 1996, he assisted in a national championship as the Tar Heels finished with a 25-1 record and the Atlantic Coast Conference title.

Leightman's coaching career began at Binghamton as an assistant coach from 1993-96. He earned a degree in biological sciences from Binghamton in 1995, and holds an NSCAA Premier diploma.
