Last season, Moore helped the Catamounts capture the program’s third America East regular season crown and first since 2012. By season’s end, UVM had eight All-America East selections – highlighted by sophomore and First Team honoree Aron Runarsson as the league’s Goalkeeper of the Year. Junior transfer Geo Alves also joined Runarsson on the First Team.

The 2017 docket included a 4-1 win at Hartwick in the season opener, UVM’s eighth straight season-opening victory and scored the most goals in the first game of the year since 1993. The Cats closed out the regular season with a 1-1 draw at 20th-ranked New Hampshire to claimed the outright regular season title from the Wildcats.Â
Keith Moore joined the Catamounts coaching staff as the director of quality control in August of 2017. His roles will include maximizing and monitoring multiple facets of the program encompassing opponent scouting, on-field performance, academic performance, along with tactical and logistical input.
