Hall of Fame
A key fixture on the pitch throughout his four-year career, Matt Filner shined on the Yeomen attack in the late 80s, earning All-NCAC honors four times.
Filner's stellar play helped the Yeomen post an aggregate record of 43-20-6 as he produced the second most points of any player in school history with 116. Filner also remains second all-time in both goals (46) and assists (24).
A First-Team All-NCAC selection as a senior in 1990, Filner deposited 13 goals and distributed eight assists for 34 points, marking the sixth-best single-season total in program history.
Under the guidance of legendary head coach and Heisman Club Hall of Famer Fred Shults, Filner and his teammates posted a 13-3-1 mark in 1988, helping Shults win NCAC Coach of the Year honors while recording the third-most wins in a season to this day.
A former All-Academic, All-Region, and All-State honoree, Filner stayed active by participating in intramural volleyball, softball, bowling, and basketball, and also taught an ex-co class during his senior year.
After graduating with a degree in history in 1991, he later earned his Ph.D in political science from Indiana University in 2001.
