BABSON PARK, Mass.—Babson College head women's soccer coach Nellie Pineault MBA'03 announced this week that Tim Mason has been elevated from a part-time position to the full-time assistant coach on her staff effective immediately.

Mason, who has been an assistant for the Beavers since the fall of 2017, replaces Jessica DiPhillipo '15 MBA'22 in the full-time role. Since joining the Green and White, the program has made a pair of NEWMAC Tournament semifinal appearances and recorded its highest winning percentage (.605) since 2015 this past fall while recording nine consecutive shutouts to end the season.

An experienced coach with over a decade of experience, Mason most recently served as the Metro Boston Director of Coaching for the New England Surf Soccer Club since 2020. Prior to joining New England Surf, he worked for Global Premier Soccer (GPS) from 2008-14 and coached for the Scorpions Soccer Club from 2014-20.

"We are excited to bring Tim onto our coaching staff full-time," commented Pineault. "He has been all-in since joining our program and has already contributed greatly on and off the field over the past four years. Tim is student-athlete centric, invested in player development, and an overall tremendous person and colleague."

In addition to his club experience, Mason had a highly-successful stint as the boys varsity soccer coach at Wellesley High School from 2010-18. He led his teams to four league titles and nine consecutive MIAA Tournament appearances, culminating with the Raiders winning the 2018 Division I South sectional title to advance to the state championship game. Additionally, Mason was selected as the 2017 Eastern Massachusetts Soccer Coaches Association (EMSCA) Division I South Coach of the Year and earned Boston Globe Coach of the Year honors in 2018.

"I am absolutely honored and thrilled to be announced as the full-time assistant coach for the women's soccer program at Babson," said Mason. "I have loved my time here in a part-time capacity and I cannot wait to begin the full-time role. We have a fantastic team, with lots of potential and a very bright future ahead and this is an exciting time to be a part of the program."

A native of Northampton, England, Mason played three years of collegiate soccer while earning his bachelor's degree in sports and exercise science from De Montfort University in Leicester, England.
