Thomas Coburn was a soccer star at UMass from 1971-74. He was named an honorable mention NSCAA All-American in 1974. Coburn was a three-time all-Yankee Conference selection (1972-74) and a two-time all-New England pick (1973-74).
Coburn is currently the fifth all-time leading scorer in UMass history with 87 points on 37 goals and 13 assists. He left Amherst in 1974 as the program's all-time leading scorer, goal-scorer and assist-maker. He now ranks third in career goals and tied for ninth in career assists. He also ranks ninth on the school's single-season list for goals in a season with 12, set in the 1973 season. That mark was third at the time of its achievement.
Coburn led the Yankee Conference in scoring in 1973 and added nine more goals as a senior in 1974, earning his all-American accolades. He owns the second-best single-game goal scoring mark in UMass annals with four goals against Boston University in 1973. He added an assist in the win over the Terriers for a nine-point showing, the second-best one-game performance in program history. UMass was 24-12-7 overall in his career.
He graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Food and Natural Resources in 1976.
Coburn was inducted into the UMass Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2008.
