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.
Collings enters his fifth season on Montlake in 2025. During his tenure at Washington, Collings has helped lead the Huskies to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including the program's first College Cup appearance and a national runner up finish in 2021.
In 2022, Collings helped guide Washington to the Pac-12 championship and in 2024, he helped the Huskies return to the NCAA Tournament after missing out on the national competition in 2023.
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.
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 Tournament. He was a member and co-captain of the program’s Final Four team in 1998.
