Last season, Wilkinson led the Chargers to a 13-7-2 record and the top seed in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) tournament with a 7-1-1 record. The Chargers fell in the NAC semifinals, but made a second straight appearance in the ECAC Tournament. Wilkinson led the team to the program's first two wins in the ECAC tournament before falling to Endicott in overtime in the championship. 

Wilkinson received a BA in Psychology from Nyack College in 2006. A native of Walden, N.Y., Wilkinson comes to Colby-Sawyer after one season as assistant men's soccer coach at Francis Marion University.

Prior to 2012, he was the head coach at Concordia College (NY) in 2011 and spent one year (2010) as an assistant coach at Centenary College and three seasons (2006, 2008-09) as an associate head coach at Dominican College.  The Chargers captured one CACC title and advanced to the NCAA Division II national tournament twice during his time in Orangeburg, N.Y.

Wilkinson also spent one season as an assistant on the staff at Suffolk County Community College, during which time the team was ranked second in the nation in 2007.
