Luke Skeekey '10 joined his alma mater in August 2022 as the interim head women's soccer coach and was named the head coach in January 2023. He enters his fourth season with the Tritons in 2025. 

During his time as the interim coach, Sheekey led the program to Eckerd's best finish in the SSC standings since 2017. He guided the team to an undefeated mark at home, the first time since at least 2002 the Tritons have gone undefeated at home. Eckerd produced a 460-minute streak of holding their opponents scoreless, including four straight shutouts this fall. Both marks are the first in program history since at least 1997. 

In his second season at the helm, he led the Tritons to one of the best season in program history. Eckerd posted 10 wins on the year, tying the most in EC history. Eckerd also made its first SSC Tournament appearance since 2017, and advanced to the semifinals for just the second time in program history. Eckerd posted a thrilling 5-0 win over No. 16 Nova Southeastern on the road. 

In 2024, he led the Tritons back to the SSC Tournament, the first time since 2004 Eckerd made back-to-back appearances. 

Sheekey has a wealth of coaching experience, including being the head coach of the Louisiana Olympic Development program and Holy Cross High School in New Orleans. He also served as an assistant coach and associate head coach of the Baton Rouge Capitals (Professional Development League) for two seasons, and assistant director of coaching of the Plantation Athletic Club for two years. He was the head coach at Archbishop Chapelle High School in New Orleans from 2011-12.

Sheekey returns to Eckerd after spending two seasons as an assistant women's soccer coach at UNC Charlotte, where he helped lead the 49ers to the Conference USA Championships Finals in 2020-21. 

Prior to his time in Charlotte, he served as the head women's soccer coach at Delta State (Miss.) for four years. With the Statesmen, he posted 25 victories while guiding the program to its first appearance in the Gulf South Conference Tournament in 2019. He also led the team to a program record for conference wins in 2019. In his first season with the Statesmen, the team scored 32 goals, ranking third in program history. 

At DSU, Sheekey's team excelled off the field as they were a yearly fixture in the department's community service competition and his team recorded the highest GPA in the department in 2018-19 and 2019-20. 

He also served as a graduate assistant coach at Delta State in 2012.
