St. Vincent adds alum to staff

The Saint Vincent men’s basketball program is pleased to announce the addition of Terrance Smith to the staff for the 2014-15 season.

Smith is a former All-American for the Bearcats and still ranks as the school’s second leading scorer of all time. From 1997-2001, he tallied 1,819 points for SVC, helping to lead the team to two NAIA National Tournament appearances. Following the 2000-01 season, he was named a Third Team NAIA All-American for his efforts.

However, his accomplishments on the court have been exceeded by his post-graduate accomplishments as a member of the United States Army. A Chief Warrant Officer 2, Smith served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a 12-year military career.

During the course of his career, he earned many medals and ribbons, including a Meritorious Service Medal along with multiple Army Commendation and Army Achievement Medals and Iraq and Afghanistan Campaign Medals with Combat Stars.

After earning his BA in Management from Saint Vincent, Smith furthered his education with an MBA in Project Management from Grantham University and is currently working toward his DBA in Project Management.

Smith is a native of Sharon, PA but moved to Ohio during high school, graduating from Westerville South HS before coming to SVC as a student in the fall of 1997.

"I am really excited to have the opportunity to help coach the team and contribute to the winning tradition of Saint Vincent College basketball," says Smith. "It is a privilege to come back to my alma mater and be involved in coaching the sport that I love."
