A Strategic Addition to the Wildcats
The University of New Hampshire men’s soccer program has announced the signing of graduate student midfielder Graham Dougald, a move that bolsters the squad’s depth and experience ahead of the upcoming season.
Dougald arrives after a collegiate career that spanned Mount St. Mary’s and Virginia Commonwealth University, where he contributed to a 2023 Atlantic 10 regular‑season championship.
At Mount St. Mary’s he started every match and earned All‑MAAC Third Team honors, showcasing his consistency and defensive work rate.
His two seasons with VCU were marked by a championship atmosphere, and he helped the team capture the conference’s regular‑season title.
Beyond college, Dougald captained the Charlottesville Blues of the USL League Two in both 2024 and 2025, leading the side to notable results while recording 12 goals and three assists for 27 points.
He also excelled at the club level with VDA, earning ECNL All‑Conference recognition in 2021, and capped his high school career at Albemarle High School with a 2022 Team MVP award, 12 goals, and a District Championship.
Leadership and Versatility
Coaches highlight his blend of technical skill, tactical awareness and relentless work ethic, traits that align with the program’s ambitions.
His experience across multiple levels of competition equips him to mentor younger players and to adapt to varied tactical demands.
The addition of a player with a proven track record of leadership is expected to raise the competitive standard in training and match play.
With graduation on the horizon, Dougald brings a mature perspective that should translate into on‑field confidence and off‑field professionalism.
Looking Forward
The Wildcats will integrate Dougald into their roster as they prepare for the upcoming schedule, hoping his veteran presence will help push the team toward new milestones.
Fans can look forward to seeing how his experience and drive will shape the dynamics of the squad as the season unfolds.
