Hall of Fame
Reed became the first son or daughter to follow a parent into Towson’s Hall of Fame. His dad, John was a four-year (1969-72) starter in the nets for the Tigers who posted a combined 42-14 record over that period. He earned Little All-America honors in 1972 and was inducted into Towson’s Hall of Fame in 1989.
An aspiring attackman early on, Reed honored his father’s request to play goalie. “I was an attackman on the jayvee at St. Mary Ryken but in my sophomore year my dad, who was the varsity coach, asked me to step into the goal when our goalie became ineligible,” Reed recalled. “I really didn’t want to but after a week I accepted it and the rest is history.”
After a year at Bridgton (Me.) Academy Reed transferred to Towson. He shared net duties in his freshman year but won the job outright as a sophomore. During his time the Tigers were 38-21, a record that included three Colonial Athletic Association titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances. Reed was chosen first team All-CAA twice and second team once. A two-time honorable mention All-American, he was one of five Tigers selected to the CAA’s 25th Anniversary Team. As a captain in 2005 he was named to the Tewaarton Watch List.
Reed’s .608 save percentage in 2005 was a single season program record. His 578 career saves ranked him in a tie with his dad. Reed’s career goalkeeper save percentage of .561 ranked him second on the all-time career list at the time of his induction.
After three years on the pro circuit playing for the now defunct San Francisco Dragons, the Denver Outlaws and the Baltimore Bayhawks, Reed put the stick down to focus on fitness. In 2013 he competed on the reality show, American Ninja Warrior.
