St. Olaf set a new single-season program record for wins in a season by finishing 19-3-1 and the 19 victories also were tied for the most of any team in the country in NCAA Division III. The Oles became just the fifth team in the history of the MIAC to go 10-0 in conference play on their way to winning the fourth outright (seventh overall) MIAC regular-season championship in program history. After leading St. Olaf to the historic season, Wall was named the MIAC Coach of the Year by his peers and he and assistant coaches Justin Oliver and Ben Braman were named the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III Region IX Coaching Staff of the Year at the end of the season.

St. Olaf tied the program's longest unbeaten streak with a 16-game streak where the Oles went 15-0-1 from Sept. 12 through Nov. 3, which included a record-tying 15-straight wins from Sept. 15 through Nov. 3. After not being ranked since 2015, the Oles spent six weeks in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25, peaking at No. 10 in the country twice, which was the program's highest ranking since 2011. St. Olaf concluded the season ranked No. 15, marking the joint-highest year-end ranking in program history in the poll. The Oles were also ranked in the D3soccer.com Top 25 in five-straight polls, wrapping up the season at No. 12.

For the first time in program history, St. Olaf had two United Soccer Coaches All-America honorees in the same season, as sophomore Victor Gaulmin was named to the first team and sophomore Hakeem Morgan earned a spot on the second team. The duo were two of only five sophomores nation-wide to be named All-Americans and made St. Olaf one of 11 programs in the country with multiple All-Americans. Gaulmin and Morgan were also two of four Oles to be United Soccer Coaches All-Region honorees and were two of the program's three first-team selections. St. Olaf also had a program record and conference-record-tying six All-MIAC honorees in 2021, including the league's Midfielder of the Year (Victor Gaulmin) and Rookie of the Year (Shea Bechtel).

In his first season on the Hill, Wall led the Oles to their first appearance in the MIAC Playoffs since 2015, as St. Olaf finished 9-10 overall and 5-5 in the MIAC. Under his guidance, St. Olaf had five student-athletes earn All-MIAC or Honorable Mention All-MIAC honors, which was the highest total for the program since 1993. The Oles were picked eighth in the MIAC Preseason Coaches' Poll but defeated three teams picked ahead of them to return to the MIAC Playoffs and post the program's highest win total and MIAC win total since 2015.

After the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the fall 2020 season, St. Olaf played eight exhibition contests in the spring of 2021 and St. Olaf went 4-2-2 in those eight games with wins over Augsburg, Bethel, St. Thomas, and Concordia-Moorhead.

A former NCAA Division III National Player of the Year, Wall came to St. Olaf after four seasons on the staff at his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan University, under Jay Martin, the winningest coach in NCAA men's soccer history. After joining Martin's staff in 2015 as an assistant coach, Wall was promoted to associate head coach in April 2017 and also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Battling Bishops.

In Wall's four seasons on the coaching staff at Ohio Wesleyan, the Battling Bishops posted a combined record of 51-21-9 (.685), including a mark of 25-5-6 (.778) in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC). Ohio Wesleyan made three NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the NCAC Tournament title game three times in his four seasons on staff.

Wall also served as Ohio Wesleyan's camp director, recruiting coordinator, travel coordinator and assisted in the development of training plans. He recruited the 2016, 2017 and 2018 NCAC Freshmen of the Year and also coached the NCAC Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in 2015.

As a student-athlete at Ohio Wesleyan, Wall was a two-time NSCAA First Team All-American (2010, 2011) and was named the NSCAA National Player of the Year after captaining the Battling Bishops to the 2011 NCAA Division III National Championship, with Wall scoring in each of the team's final four games in the NCAA Tournament. As a senior, Wall finished fifth in the country in points (53), ninth in goals (19) and fourth in assists (15) as a member of the third-highest-scoring team in the country.

Over his four-year career at Ohio Wesleyan, Wall's teams went a combined 78-11-5 (.856), as he finished his career in the program's top-five in goals (49), assists (36) and points (134). Following his career, Wall was named to the North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Soccer All-Decade Team (2003-12). During his sophomore season, Wall started all 22 games for the team that boasted the statistically-best defense in the country, allowing just six goals in over 2,000 minutes to lead the country in shutout percentage (.773) and goals-against average (0.27).

Wall went on to play professional soccer for Minnesota United FC (formerly Minnesota Stars FC) of the North American Soccer League (NASL) from April 2012 to January 2014, after spending preseason with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer (MLS).

Wall's coaching career started at the University of St. Thomas, where he was an assistant coach during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, helping guide the Tommies to a record of 21-9-7 (.662). There, he assisted with all facets of the program and designed and implemented offseason cardio programs.

In 2014, Wall served as the Director of Soccer Operations at Division I Xavier University, as the Musketeers advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. At Xavier, he worked with the 2014 BIG East Staff of the Year during a season that saw the Musketeers set program records for wins, shutouts and goals-against average.

Wall also carries three seasons of high-level club coaching experience as the head coach of the U19 Ohio Premier Soccer Club Green team and was named the 2018 United Soccer Coaches Midwest Regional Coach of the Year. In 2018, he led the team to the U19 Elite National Premier League (ENPL) National Championship with a team that had eight members sign to play at Division I programs, including Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) National Player of the Year Luke Kiley. The team finished in fifth place at US Youth Soccer (USYS) Nationals in 2017 and was a semifinalist in 2016.

Wall graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts and went on to earn his Master's in recreation and sport sciences from Ohio University in June 2016. In 2017, Wall obtained his C License from U.S. Soccer Federation. His older siblings, Tyler and Sarah, were both three-time All-America selections in soccer at Ohio Wesleyan.

Langstone brings a wealth of experience from his 15+ years of combined club and college coaching experience, having held numerous positions at each level. Age Group Director, Juniors Academy Director, Pro 23s Head Coach and Maryland State Olympic Development Program (ODP) Assistant Coach are all recent titles held by Langstone, and he also currently serves as the U16 (2008) MLS Next Head Coach and Age Group Lead at Alexandria Soccer Association.

"I know I am joining a program that is in a good place and I am looking forward to assisting in developing the current group while recruiting future student-athletes with a champion mentality, on and off the field," said Langstone.

Langstone played collegiate soccer at D-II Slippery Rock from 2005-09, where he led The Rock to two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships, three NCAA tournaments and two NCAA Sweet 16 appearances. His career stats include being ranked T-3rd all-time in program game winning goals (six) and T-8th all-time for program games played (77).

Langstone is currently pursuing a US Soccer A youth license, and already holds a US Soccer B license, a United Soccer Coaches Goalkeeper L1 diploma, a United Soccer Coaches Performance Analysis diploma, and is certified as an injury prevention specialist.

"From the start in a very competitive pool of candidates, Iain demonstrated the professionalism and character traits that I believe will improve and continue to grow our program. His enthusiasm for the role will be a great addition for our students' development and will help them individually, and as a team achieve the goals we hope to achieve moving forward," Jones concluded.

Evan Scheffey

Head Coach

York (PA)

Division 3

Scheffey was an outstanding player and leader during his time in the Green and White. The Spartans accumulated a record of 78-5-9 during his tenure as a player in York. He was a three-time First Team All-Capital Athletic Conference player, a two-time Capital Athletic Conference champion, a three-time First Team NSCAA All-Region selection and a 2008 NSCAA Third Team All-American. The Spartans advanced to the NCAA Tournament in all four of Scheffey's seasons on the squad, including a berth in the Elite Eight in both 2006 and 2007. Scheffey was named to the Capital Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Silver Anniversary team this past fall, recognizing him as one of the Top 25 men's soccer players in the 25 years of the CAC. Not only was Scheffey a fantastic player for the Green and White, but he was also a three-year team captain for York. Scheffey's coaching resume after leaving York was quite appealing to Saikia. He started his post-playing career with an assistant coaching position at Goucher College, a member of the Landmark Conference. In his is first year as a Gophers assistant, Goucher improved their league mark by three wins and their overall record by two wins and a tie after going 4-14 in 2010. Scheffey also spearheaded the recruiting efforts as Goucher brought in a class of 12 players from five different states. In his second year in Towson, the Gophers had a freshman class that included a dynamic group of newcomers. One freshman led all Landmark newcomers in scoring with seven goals during the year. Not only was Scheffey active on the recruiting trail, but he also established a Goucher Men's Soccer alumni networking night, bringing current players and alumni together to create working relationships. Scheffey then moved to Virginia Wesleyan in early 2013 where he immersed himself in the program. The Marlins finished 16-5-1 overall and 9-2 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference in Scheffey's first year on the VWC staff. Those numbers were a dramatic improvement over the 2012 season; a campaign in which Virginia Wesleyan went 8-10-2 overall and 6-5 in the league. It was the sixth best turnaround in Division III men's soccer in 2013. He was responsible for recruiting and coaching the 2013 ODAC Rookie-of-the-Year Kyle Fisher. In Scheffey's second year, the Marlins went 11-4-4 overall including a 7-2-2 mark in the ODAC. The team GPA was over 3.0 for the third consecutive semester as 14 players earned Dean's List honors. "We are going to relentlessly pursue the highest standards in every facet of our program," states Scheffey. "These expectations not only include winning at the highest level on the field but also being recognized and respected for our hard work in the classroom while being an integral part of the surrounding community." Scheffey also has extensive club coaching experience, as he was a U-16 and U-18 head coach with FC York from October of 2009 through January 2013. He was also the head coach of Beach FC in Virginia Beach from May 2013 until March of 2015. Scheffey owns an NSCAA National Diploma as he completed that with Distinguished Pass.

Last season, the Crusaders captured the ECAC South Championship for the 2 nd time in 4 years.  The Crusaders knocked off the #1, #2, and #3 seeds in the ECAC tournament to win the title.  Goalkeeper, Zach Rider, was named the ECAC MVP.  In 2012, Moore helped lead the Crusaders to their first post-season championship in school history.  The Crusaders won the ECAC South Championship, averaging 2.67 goals per game throughout the tournament.  Kyle Martyn was named ECAC MVP after scoring the game winning goal in the championship game on a free kick in double overtime.  In 2011, Moore and the Crusaders had a banner year breaking a ton of school records throughout the season.  That year Moore was named Commonwealth Coach of the Year and senior forward, Eric Franks was named Commonwealth Player of the Year.

Eavenson award, which is awarded to the Most Outstanding Swimmer in the MAC Conference. He was recently named to the MAC 100 All-Century Team for his swimming accolades.
