Brent Goulet

Goulet was born in Cavalier, North Dakota, but grew up in Tacoma, Washington. After graduating from Henry Foss High School in 1983, he attended Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon, which played in the NAIA, and was coached by Bernie Fagan, who had extensive professional experience at Sunderland A.F.C. and the Portland Timbers. Under Fagan's direction, Goulet (4-year All-American) became the dominant offensive player on the team, scoring a collegiate record setting 108 goals over four seasons and being a finalist for the 1987 Hermann Award going to the best men's collegiate soccer player in the country (Bruce Murray of Clemson). In 1984, Warner Pacific took third in the NAIA National Championship tournament where Goulet was selected to All Tournament Team (also selected to 1985 All Tournament Team).
