NASHUA, N.H. – Rivier women's soccer head coach Daniel Milton has named two new assistant coaches ahead of the 2025 season as Kendrick Whittle and Annika Furtado join Pat Quinn on the coaching staff.  

"I'm beyond excited to welcome Kendrick and Annika to our staff. Together, they bring a wealth of knowledge, passion, and experience that will undoubtedly make an immediate impact on our program," said Milton.  

Whittle, who most recently served as head coach at Salem High School from 2006 to 2025, joins Milton's staff as the lead assistant coach. Right here in the Granite State, he also holds the role of Girls Director at FC Stars New Hampshire (2023–present), where he has been coaching since 2012. Whittle earned his bachelor's degree in Education from Bridgewater State University and later completed a master's in Education and Leadership at the University of Rhode Island.  

Furtado, a recent graduate of Franklin Pierce University with a degree in Health Science, joins the staff for the 2025 season following a standout collegiate career as a four-year midfielder. During her time at Franklin Pierce, she was named to the NE10 Academic Honor Roll twice, recognizing her outstanding achievements in both athletics and academics.  

The squad looks to return to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) postseason for the third consecutive campaign.
