James Foster helped lead the Saint Anselm men’s soccer program to historic success in the mid-1980s, which included three consecutive Northeast-8 titles. In four years, Foster led the Hawks to a 43-23-6 record, while earning NE-8 Player of the Year in 1987. He was a two-time NE-8 Championship Most Valuable Player and a three-time First Team All-Conference selection. Foster was also a three-time NSCAA All-New England Team selection. He accounted for 98 points in his career, including 39 goals and 20 assists, in just 70 games played. His head coach, Ed Cannon, was inducted into the NE10 Hall of Fame in 2008. Foster is the sixth men’s soccer athlete to be inducted and is the first from Saint Anselm.
