100 Wins and Counting

Washington College Celebrates Milestone Victories for Coaches Dunshee and Mosley

As the spring seasons get underway, Washington Athletics is celebrating significant milestones for two of its esteemed coaches, Roy Dunshee of Men's Soccer and Alisha Mosley of Women's Basketball – just this past fall, each reached 100 career wins at Washington. 

Dunshee, who completed his 13th season with the Shoremen last year, reached his 100th win in a 1-0 victory over No. 19 Rowan, in which the Shoremen's lone shot of the game got past the Profs' goalie and landed them the win. The program's last four years are arguably one of the best stretches in the 78-year history of men's soccer. Dunshee has the second highest winning percentage in men's soccer, trailing Coach Edward Athey. His impressive record now stands at 102 wins and 28 ties over 219 games.  

Dunshee's tenure has been marked by remarkable success, including leading the Shoremen to the Final Four in 2023 and the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament in 2021, a feat which the Baltimore Sun called “nothing short of amazing.” Dunshee also celebrated with a Centennial Conference Championship in 2021 and was also recognized as part of the Centennial's Coaching Staff of the Year in 2023 and the NSCAA Region V Coaching Staff of the Year in 2021. Under his leadership, the Shoremen have secured four consecutive Centennial Conference Tournament appearances, contributing to all five of the program’s tournament berths. 

“Coaching this team has been the most fulfilling experience of my professional life,” said Dunshee.  “The dedication and hard work that our players provide every season shines through in these wins, but they only tell a small part of the story.  Helping our players navigate the space between adolescence and adulthood is what brings me the greatest satisfaction. And watching them graduate from Washington and succeed in life is the most gratifying win of all.” 

Meanwhile, Alisha Mosley, currently in her 12th season with the Shorewomen, has also surpassed the 100-win mark, boasting a record of 112 wins in 286 games. As the fifth head coach in Washington College women's basketball history, her guidance has led the Shorewomen to become one of the College's highest academic-achieving teams. She also serves as the assistant athletic director and director of compliance for the department.  

Recently, Mosley guided the Shorewomen to a victory over Salisbury, marking their second win against the team this season. Her dedication and strategic coaching were recognized when she was part of the 2023-24 Centennial Coaching Staff of the Year. She has steered the team to three consecutive Centennial Conference Tournaments, a program record, and broke a long-standing drought by leading the team to the tournament in 2022, their first appearance since 1999. Now, the Shorewomen are poised for their fourth straight winning season, matching a feat last achieved from 1995-96 through 1998-99. 

“Reaching my 100th win isn't just about a number, it's a milestone that represents every practice, every tough loss that taught us resilience, and every victory that confirmed our belief in one another,” said Mosley. “Each win could not have been accomplished without the hard work of our players, the support of our families, the insights of our assistant coaches, and the commitment of everyone involved in our program.” 

Both Dunshee and Mosley have demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to their respective programs, fostering a culture of excellence and achievement at Washington College. Their milestones are a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the unwavering support of the Shoremen and Shorewomen communities. 

“Washington College and our Athletic Department are fortunate to have wonderful mentors and role models serve as head coaches,” said Thad Moore, director of athletics. “As two of our longest tenured coaches at the College, Alisha and Roy have found success and built tremendous programs. More importantly, they have helped develop well rounded young men and women that make all of us proud to call them alumni.  Personally, I can't thank them enough for all that they do outside of their coaching responsibilities to help ensure our student-athletes have a positive and meaningful experience during their four years here.”
