For the second year out of the last years, a Gator men's soccer player received special recognition as a CCAA Dr. Hal Charnofsky honoree. In 1997, Hunter was honored as Northern California Athletic Conference Co-Coach of the Year after his team compiled a 10-9-1 overall record, 8-6-0 in the NCAC.

Hunter served as an assistant with the men's team for five seasons before taking over the reigns as head coach in 1995. During his tenure as assistant, Hunter was the primary recruiter for the men's program. He also assisted the women's program in varying capacities.
