The Tulsa, Okla., native played for the 'Roos during the 2008 season, where he helped guide UMKC to a Summit League Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth. The Second Team all-Summit League and all-Newcomer team selection started 19 matches in Blue and Gold, where he finished with three goals and six assists for a total of 12 points.
Prior to transferring to UMKC, Coleman played two seasons at Florida International University.
