Eric Sloan '08 was a key figure on the Allegheny men's soccer team during one of the program's most successful stretches in the mid-2000s. Under former head coach Angelo Panzetta, Sloan guided the Gators to four consecutive NCAC championship games. During his freshman season in 2004, Sloan was one of five Gators to convert a penalty kick following a 0-0 double-overtime draw with Denison University to lift the men's soccer team to its first-ever conference title. He also scored penalty kicks to help the Gators surpass Transylvania University and Carnegie Mellon University, as Allegheny marched its way through the NCAA Tournament to the round of 16. The NCAC's 2004 Newcomer of the Year and 2007 Defensive Player of the Year, the dominant center back earned All-NCAC honors in each of his four seasons at Allegheny. He was also named to the conference's 30th Anniversary All-Decade Team. During his senior campaign, Sloan anchored a Gator defense that shut out nine opponents and ranked among the nation's top 30 teams with 0.63 goals allowed per game. For his career, the Pittsburgh native started 78 of 79 games and scored six goals with eight assists for 18 points.
