Chase Harrison is welcomed back for his second stint as the goalkeeper instructor and assistant coach for the Hokies this fall. During his time at Tech, Harrison rewrote a lot of Virginia Tech's goalkeeping records in head coach Oliver Weiss' first four seasons. Harrison has competed with Real Salt Lake of the MLS (selected 26th overall in the third round of the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft), while playing with Virginia Beach Mariners, Rochester Raging Rhinos, and is a current member of the Portland Timbers (Division One USL teams).

In his collegiate career, Harrison made 79 appearances in net for Tech, establishing three new school records: goals against average (1.12), shutouts (24) and minutes (7,181). He also holds a pair of single-season records with eight shutouts in 2004 and 2005 along with clocking a total of 2,062 minutes logged in 2003. Harrison stands fifth on the school's all-time saves list with 289 over his career.

Harrison led the Hokies to a high-level of success during his tenure. In his first season as full-time starter in 2003, the Hokies qualified for their first-ever NCAA College Cup appearance. The 2004 season was highlighted by an upset win over No. 1 Duke, 1-0, in Durham, N.C., followed by a 2-1 defeat of No. 2 Virginia in Blacksburg. Tech qualified for the NCAA Tournament again in 2005 and received a first-round bye before hosting UNC Greensboro.

A native of Huntington, W.Va., Harrison graduated from Tech with a degree in consumer studies.
