Another coaching appointment I missed from earlier this year.  Erik Temple was named Head Coach at Neumann University in Pennsylvania of the Atlantic East Conference.  He had been an assistant there for a number of years before leaving for a youth club in Delaware.

That's their 7th head coach in the last 12 years.

It was a PT job for a while. Now it is FT but the additional role is as Facilities AD, which to have a team coach like soccer also be your facilities point person... is not sustainable.

Matt Horth, the head coach at Gordon College (CCC) is the new head assistant coach at Lipscomb University (D1, ASUN).

Kind of an interesting one - Kevin Brenner from La Salle to Haverford...as the Interim.

I put up a post about that a month ago when I first noticed it on the website (even before Haverford issued a press release).  From what I can tell as an outsider, Brenner has been very well received and is being aggressive in recruiting HS kids from the Class of 2024.  When I just checked the NCAA website, though, it indicates that the Haverford Head Coach search is no longer active.

Not sure if that means the application period expired and they are moving to consider the pool and interview finalists or if they are going to stick with Brenner as interim for the Fall 2023 season.

Haverford is too good of a school, in too good of a location, to not be top 4 in the CC.

My bad - I went back and looked to about the date of the press release but must have just missed your post.

Brenner will do a great job with Haverford.  He is a very good recruiter.  Go Fords.

This isn't advertised anywhere and I think it technically may have started last fall, but it appears that Mike Ditta, a former D1 assistant coach at UC Irvine and current associate head coach at Pomona-Pitzer, is serving as interim head coach at P-P, likely through the fall season at least.  I believe Bill Swartz, the longtime head coach at P-P (since 1986, which likely makes him one of the longest tenured head coaches in D3 men's soccer behind Jay Martin at Ohio Wesleyan) is on some kind of leave.  He stopped appearing on the sidelines at games about halfway through the Fall 2022 season, but no official announcement was ever made.

Speaking of interim coaches, anyone hear anything about the status of Noah Riskind at Bates?  It would be pretty unusual to remain an interim for two seasons, although technically he hasn't been interim for a full year yet since he took over so late in the summer last year.

True, but still one of the crappiest field in CC. May not be the biggest factor, but still a factor players consider when deciding to pay way way too much money.  May be the worst as I think Muhlenberg is getting a new field. Many players do not want to play on crappy fields. FYI, they do have a turf field https://www.google.com/maps/place/Walton+Field,+Haverford+College,+Walton+Ln,+Ardmore,+PA+19003/@40.0076246,-75.3093584,180m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c6c06fd29d97e1:0xddedf40ccdce60b8!8m2!3d40.0077759!4d-75.3089661!16s%2Fg%2F11bvtd4p01

Also McDaniel has one the nicest grass fields I've ever seen.

Son was recruited by Shane and spent a weekend with the team in 2017. The field definitely played a factor in his decision. Great decision on his part considering Shane left after 2017.

UW Stout is adding men's soccer and searching for a head coach.

Guess they would start fall 2024.

Justin Oliver Tabbed to Lead Blue Devil Men's Soccer

https://stoutbluedevils.com/news/2023/5/23/mens-soccer-oliver-tabbed-to-lead-blue-devil-mens-soccer.aspx

Slowly but surely the WIAC is returning to men's soccer. For awhile the league had been pared down to eventual independents UW-Whitewater, UW-Platteville, and now-defunct Finlandia. But UW-Eau Claire just started a men's soccer program a couple of years ago, and the Blugolds have had immediate success with it. I gotta figure that it's only a matter of time before the largest (by far) WIAC school, UW-Oshkosh, reinstates the sport (at which it was a national power prior to the program being shut down). And if the Titans re-join the fray, can UW-Stevens Point and/or UW-LaCrosse be far behind?
