Angel Mogel

Angel Mogel became the 15th women’s soccer coach in the history of the Nichols College program in June 2022.

This past season, her first on the hill, the Bison won seven matches, their most wins since the 2019 campaign. Graduate student Maddie Clark earned Second Team All-CCC Honors during Mogel’s first season at the helm.

Mogel – who spent 18 years at fellow Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) member Wentworth Institute of Technology, including 15 as the head coach of the women’s soccer program – most recently served as the girls varsity head coach at West Boylston Middle High School (2016-20) and Wachusett Regional High School (2021).

The founder of Wentworth’s women’s soccer program, Mogel organized a club women’s soccer team that competed in the fall of 1997. The Leopards made their varsity debut the following season with wins in each of their first three matches en route to qualifying for the CCC Tournament – the first of 11 conference tournament appearances in her 15 seasons at the helm.

From 2001-2005, Wentworth had a very successful five-year stretch, posting a 63-33-2 (.653) record during this span and qualifying for the CCC Tournament in each of those seasons, finishing no lower than fourth. The 2002 campaign saw the Leopards establish a program-record for wins a season (15), and in 2003, the program advanced to the CCC Championship match for the first time in school history. Wentworth made four consecutive trips to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Tournament, including in 2005 when the Leopards earned their highest seed (sixth).

In her 15 seasons in Boston, Mogel posted a record of 133-136-10 (.495) and earned both her and the program's 100th win in a 3-1 triumph over Anna Maria on October 17, 2007. She coached five student-athletes who earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-New England honors, a CCC Rookie of the Year, three CCC Senior Scholar-Athletes of the Year, and a two-time Academic All-America. Additionally, seven of her former student-athletes have been inducted in Wentworth's Athletic Hall of Fame. Mogel has served on both the NSCAA England Regional Rankings Committee and the NCAA New England Regional Advisory Committee, and was an evaluator for the Olympic Development Program.

Mogel – who also served as the Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator at WIT from 1998-2011 – stepped down as head coach following the 2011 campaign and embarked on a five-year run as the Director of Athletics at Wentworth. During that time, she added three varsity sports (women’s lacrosse, men’s rowing, and men’s cross country) which increased student-athlete participation to nearly 320 student-athletes. Mogel also oversaw the re-surfacing of Sweeney Field during the spring of 2012, increased budgets and staffing levels, created numerous new departmental initiatives, and streamlined departmental operations.

As a collegiate student-athlete, Mogel was a four-year member of the women’s soccer program at Springfield College, where she was a three-time National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) All-American selection (1990-92). She graduated as the school's leading scorer, compiling 127 points on 51 goals and 25 assists, was a Northeast-10 Conference First Team All-Star three times (1990-92) and two-time NE-10 Player of the Year (1991-92).

Mogel earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Rehabilitation from Springfield in 1993 and earned her Master’s degree in Recreational Therapy from Springfield four years later. She is a member of both the Springfield College and Northeast-10 Conference Hall of Fame.

Shelby Masse

Shelby Masse begins her sixth season as an assistant coach with the Nichols College women's soccer program in 2022.

In 2019, the Bison posted their highest win total in nearly a decade (10) and posted the second-most shutouts in program history with seven. They ripped off a seven-match win streak – the third-longest in program history – and three student-athletes were named to the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Academic All-Conference Team.

The Bison lowered their goals against average (GAA) and allowed fewer shots in 2018 than the previous campaign, and freshman Maddie Clark garnered CCC All-Conference honors.

In her first season as an assistant coach in 2017, the Bison improved on their win total from a year ago and saw nine student-athletes named to the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Academic All-Conference Team. The team more than doubled its offensive output and increased its conference winning percentage by nearly a full point. In 2018, the Bison lowered their goals against average and saw seven student-athletes named to the CCC Academic All-Conference Team. Additionally, Maddie Clark garnered CCC Third Team honors.

Masse is a 2013 graduate of the University of Hartford, where she was a three-year member of the women’s soccer program. She also played semi-professional soccer for the CFC Passion (2009) and the SoccerPlus CT Reds of the WPSL (2010-12), where she was the starting keeper for three seasons.

Masse is currently the head coach for Connecticut ODP two-time East Region Finalist U17 Girls after previously serving as an assistant/goalkeeper coach for the U13 Girls (2013-17). She also worked as a goalkeeper coach at Star Goalkeeper Academy (2010-13); an U16 Girls Assistant/Goalkeeper Coach at Sporting FC (2012-13); the U14, U15, and U17 Girls Head Coach/Goalkeeper Coach at Dutch Football Academy (2013-16); and the U14 Girls Head Coach/Goalkeeper Coach at Northeast United (2016-18).

Masse – who also worked for the Goran Vasic Soccer Academy (2013-14) – owns her Goalkeeper Level 1 Certification as well as a National D-License and E-License.

Masse graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English (2013) before earning a pair of Degrees from the University of Connecticut, first a Bachelor of Arts in History (2015) and later a Masters of Curriculum and Instruction, Secondary Education (2017). She is currently pursuing her Pd.D. in Learning, Leadership, and Education Policy: Sport Management with an anticipated graduation date of 2022.
