Tony Pacella enters his seventh season as the Sewanee Head Men's Soccer Coach. Posting a 44-54-8 career record, Pacella has coached 19 All-Conference selections and 78 to the SAA Academic Honor Roll. In 2016, his team earned the United Soccer Coaches (USC; formerly the National Soccer Coaches Athletic Association) Team Academic Award.  The 2019 campaign for Sewanee was a masterful one for Pacella and the program. The team's 11 overall wins and five conference dubs are each the highest in the Pacella-era. Sewanee's 11-5-1 record is one of the best finishes for the program since 2004. Additionally, the No. 3 seed the Tigers secured in the SAA Tournament ties a conference-best.  Pacella also earned recognition from the coaches as he was named the SAA Coach of the Year for the first time in the history of the conference and the first since 2001. Sewanee captured five All-SAA selections, the most the Tigers have placed on an All-Conference Team since the SAA was formed in 2012. Additionally, two were named All-Region.  The success did not stop on the pitch, as a program-best 17 athletes were named to the SAA Academic Honor Roll, with two players were listed on the USC Scholar All-Region First Team laurels.
