Collins was named the first head coach in Ichabods history on Dec. 23, 2002 bringing experience and winning traditions from the high school ranks to the Washburn campus.
Entering his eleventh season on the Washbun sideline, Collins has recorded a 81-88-29 (.492) record while leading Washburn to two NCAA second round tournament appearances in the last five years.
In 2008, Washburn won a school-record-tying 15 matches during the 2008 season and another NCAA second round tournament appearance as he led the team to a 15-7-2 record including four wins over nationally-ranked teams.
In 2006, Collins led the Washburn team to the MIAA championship and the NCAA Tournament with a 15-1-6 record picking up MIAA Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season.
Collins is a 1991 graduate Ottawa University where he was a four-year letterwinner for the Braves' soccer team. He was the team's MVP and captain his junior and senior seasons while garnering first team all-conference and all-district accolades.
