Illinois

Division 1

Freeman just finished his thirteenth season overall with the Fighting Illini and sixth as the soccer programs Associate Head Coach in 2023. In 2019 Freeman was also named the program's recruiting coordinator. Illinois has reached at least the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the years he has been on staff, highlighted by a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2013. Freeman helped to coach standout Vanessa DiBernardo earn a pair of All-America honors and saw Jannelle Flaws lead the country and break the school record for goals scored.
The Illini have turned in two of the top four single-season goal totals in school history during Freemans tenure in Champaign. The Orange and Blue netted 54 goals in 2013 and 53 goals in 2011, which rank third and fourth, respectively, on the all-time list. UI boasts an overall record of 71-23-9 over the past six seasons with four NCAA Tournament appearances, a Big Ten Tournament title in 2011 and a Big Ten Tournament runner-up finish in 2012.
In 2014, Illinois finished with a 10-8-2 record on the season. With Freemans assistance, Illini redshirt senior Jannelle Flaws was named Disney Soccer/NSCAA National Player of the Week, the first Illini to ever earn the recognition. Flaws continued on to be named the unanimous Big Ten Forward of the year for the second-straight season. She led the Big Ten and tied for 12th in the NCAA with 17 goals, also being tabbed a third-team NSCAA All-American.
In 2013, Freeman helped guide the Illini to their fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen in school history, as they finished 11-9-3 overall.

In 2012, Freeman served as the interim head coach for the non-conference portion of the schedule while Rayfield was coaching with U.S. Soccers U-20 National Team at the World Cup. Freeman helped coach the Illini to the NCAA Tournament where they advanced to the second round after knocking off neighbor-state rival Missouri. Freeman also helped guide the Illini to their fifth Big Ten Tournament title game. In addition, Freeman took the reigns of the Illini program for the first seven games of the season against one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. Illinois finished 10-9-4 on the year.
In 2011, Freeman was integral in the process of implementing the formation changes that led the Orange and Blue to a 17-5-2 overall record, the most wins in a single season in school history and a Big Ten Tournament title victory over No. 11 Penn State. Freeman worked with both the offensive and defensive units throughout the season, also serving as a key contributor to the Illinois recruiting efforts while performing additional administrative and travel-related duties.
Freeman brought a wealth of experience and tactical expertise to Champaign, Illinois, after serving as a member of the University of Miami (Fla.) womens soccer staff from 2004-10, including the final three years as the associate head coach. He played a prominent role in Miami earning conference and national recognition with top-25 rankings and back-to-back appearances in the 2007-08 NCAA Tournaments.

Duquesne

Division 1

Al Alvine enters his 11th season at the helm of the Dukes in 2022. The Dukes' all-time winningest coach boasts a record of 70-84-22 on the Bluff and 35-48-10 in Atlantic 10 play.

It took just four seasons for him to accomplish what nobody had done in program history - capture an Atlantic 10 championship and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Alvine, who inherited a three-win team prior to the 2012 season, quadrupled that total in four short years, setting a program record with 12 victories in 2015. His teams have totaled 11 or more wins three times during his tenure.

In his first year with the Dukes, Alvine doubled the team's win total and followed with six more victories in 2013. The 2013 team helped form the foundation for later success with Maddie Layman and Maggie Mayo both earning spots on the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team. It marked the first time since 2004 that Duquesne had two players on the All-Rookie team and the first time since 2007 that the Dukes had a member of the All-Rookie squad.

In that memorable 2015 post season, Alvine guided the seventh-seeded Dukes to the program's first post season win, 1-1 on penalty kicks over second-seeded Dayton. It was the first time since 1999 that DU had defeated the Flyers, who were the defending A-10 champions. In the semifinal round, the Dukes upset La Salle, 2-1, before shutting out Fordham, 2-0, to secure the program's first NCAA Championship bid.

Alvine has coached four First Team and three Second Team All-Atlantic 10 picks, including 2017 A-10 Midfielder of the Year Linnea Faccenda. Six of his players have earned spots on the A-10 All-Rookie Team.

His teams have established a winning mentality, especially at Rooney Field. Over the past seven seasons (2015-2021), the Dukes have boasted a 42-18-9 record on the Bluff, while outscoring the opposition by a mark of 120-63.

Off the field, 11 of Alvine's players have been named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team.

Alvine was named the fifth head coach in Duquesne women's soccer history on December 29, 2011.

He holds a USSF "A" License and an NSCAA Premier Diploma

In his debut season at the helm, Kostecky had six Raptors named to the Liberty League All-Academic Team. He also had Logan Leppo named to the All-Liberty League Honorable Mention.

TJ Kostecky arrived at Bard in July of 2019.

During his tenure there, he won three Northeast Conference titles, made three NCAA Tournament appearances and was the NEC Coach of the Year in 2015 and 2018.

The 2008 & 2015 squads was awarded the NEC Team Academic Award for posting the highest GPA among mens soccer teams in the conference. The 2011 & 2013 teams were distinguished by the conference with the NEC Sportsmanship Award.

Kostecky has a proven track record of rebuilding programs, having engineered successful turnarounds at each of his prior coaching stops. Prior to LIU, he took over an Appalachian State program in Boone, N.C., that had suffered four consecutive losing seasons prior to Kosteckys hiring in 1998. In his only season at the school, he led the Mountaineers to a 13-8 mark in 1998, marking the best first-year record for a coach in the programs history of over 40 years. For his efforts, he was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year.

Kostecky arrived in Boone following a successful run as head coach and director of athletics at Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, N.C., from 1994-97. He was handed the reins of a program that had suffered eight straight losing seasons before he led the team to a 46-25-7 record and captured two Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference championships. Kostecky was named CVAC Coach of the Year in 1997 and mentored one All-American and nine all-conference honorees during his tenure.

He began his collegiate coaching career at New Jersey Institute of Technology, where he led the Highlanders from 1988-93. NJIT compiled a 67-37-11 mark in his six years, capturing conference championships in 1991 and 1992 and making four ECAC postseason trips. Kosteckys accomplishments at NJIT came in his native New Jersey, where he starred scholastically at Woodbridge Township High School.

Tactically, Kosteckys attacking practice sessions involve a system called Vision Training that he and business partner Len Bilous developed several years ago. This method helps players make smart, well-informed decisions by improving their field vision.

A featured clinician around the world, Kostecky conducted a coaching seminar in Masku, Finland, in March of 2005 on Vision Training. In early 2005, he released a DVD under the same name for players and coaches to use. Since its release, it has become one of the most requested coaching DVDs in the country and abroad.

Throughout his career, Kostecky has been an instrumental figure in facilitating the growth of soccer in America. From 1987-94 he was a coach for New Jerseys Olympic Development Team and was responsible for the training and selection of the states top players for the United States National Team. When he accepted his post at Pfeiffer, he filled a similar role with North Carolinas Olympic Development squad. Several of the players he mentored have played succeeded at the international level, including former U.S. National Team captain Claudio Reyna, and moved onto professional leagues such as Major League Soccer.

Kostecky has also worked with U.S. Mens and Womens National Team members, including Julie Foudy, a captain of the 1999 Womens World Cup Champions. He conducted an instructional clinic for inner city children at the 1998 NCAA Division I Championships in Richmond, Va., for the NCAA Youth Education Through Sports Program and was again a guest clinician for YES at the 1999 and 2000 NCAA Championships.

In 1989, Kostecky founded Soccer Start, a youth soccer program for inner city children. He served as the programs National Chairman until 1993. The program continues to identify and cultivate the abundance of talent in the inner-cities. He was appointed World Cup 94 Committee Chair by then New Jersey Governor Jim Florio and coordinated training site activities in the Metropolitan area for each international team.

A former all-state performer at Woodbridge, he was inducted into the schools Hall of Fame in 1995.

The 2014 Horizon League Coach of the Year and the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the year, he enters his 16th season at the helm of Valpo in the fall of 2023.

Marovich enters the fall 2023 campaign with a record of 121-112-42 both overall as a collegiate head coach and at Valpo. He holds Valpo's all-time records for victories and winning percentage (.516).

Under Marovich's guidance, Valpo maintained its momentum from the fall 2021 campaign. The Beacons enjoyed their best season since joining the Valley, finishing with a MVC regular season championship with a 7-1-2 mark.

Along the way, the fall 2021 squad posted the second-longest unbeaten streak (8-0-1) and the third-longest winning streak (7-0-0) in program history. Nikki Coryell repeated as MVC Goalkeeper of the Year and was joined on the All-MVC First Team by Kelsie James, and the duo were joined by Kiley Dugan as United Soccer Coaches All-Region selections as well.

The spring 2021 season saw Marovich lead Valpo to a strong turnaround. Valpo posted a 5-4-5 overall record and was 3-2-3 in MVC regular season play, earning a third-place finish in the regular season standings - the program's best at that point since joining the Valley. Along the way, Marovich became the first coach in program history to reach the 100-win mark on the sidelines at Valpo, doing so with a March 9 win over Indiana State.

The Brown and Gold went on to advance to the MVC Tournament championship match for the first time in program history. Marovich coached the MVC's Goalkeeper of the Year in Coryell, as well as two additional First Team All-MVC honorees in Keegan Maris and Dugan - both of whom were United Soccer Coaches All-Region selections as well. Maris was also named a Third Team CoSIDA Academic All-American and a United Soccer Coaches Third Team Scholar All-American. Valpo finished the campaign with the fewest goals surrendered in a single season in program history (8) and a team GAA of 0.52, third-best in program history.

Marovich led the Brown and Gold as they transitioned into the MVC in 2017. Valpo posted a 9-10-0 overall record and a 3-4-0 record in MVC play while making the leap from the nation's 28th-ranked conference by RPI (Horizon League, 2016) to the nation's 12th-ranked conference (MVC, 2017). Led by the efforts of First Team All-MVC and Third Team All-Region honoree Cory Griffith, the 2017 side finished the season 57 spots higher in the RPI than the 2016 squad. Marovich also coached the program's fourth CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American all-time, as senior Grace Rogers earned the honor.

Marovich led Valpo to nine victories in 2016, as he surpassed former head coach Stephen Anthony for the program's all-time wins record. Marovich matched Anthony's mark of 78 wins with a victory over Morehead State on Sept. 18, and then two matches later, broke the record with a victory against Milwaukee Sept. 28.

Marovich and Valpo won seven matches in 2015, including a 4-2-2 mark on their home pitch at Brown Field. Three players earned All-League accolades, while Rita Craven and April Cronin both repeated as NSCAA All-Region honorees.

The team set new school records with 14 wins, a 12-match winning streak and an 18-match unbeaten streak, ending the season with a 14-2-4 record. Along the way, the side swept through Horizon League play with a perfect 8-0-0 record - only the third side in league history to go 8-0-0. Valpo won its first Horizon League regular season and tournament championships in 2014 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time.

Individually under Marovich in 2014, numerous players earned accolades, highlighted by the selection of Craven as an NSCAA Third Team All-American - the first All-American in program history. Craven was also an NSCAA First Team Scholar All-American, the first in program history as well, and is the only player in Valpo women's soccer history to be named league Player of the Year. A quartet of players earned NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region honors, while Jenny Fassbinder was an NSCAA Third Team Scholar All-American.

Under Marovich, Valpo has cemented itself as a top-tier defensive side, as all five of the top defensive seasons in program history have come during his tenure. In 2013, Marovich's squad surrendered just 15 goals, while 2012 saw Valpo earn the first national statistical championship in program history en route to a 10-win campaign, as its team goals against average of 0.51 paced the nation. Valpo also ranked among the top-ten squads in the nation in both shutout percentage and save percentage.

Marovich guided the Brown and Gold to the Horizon League Tournament championship match in 2009 as Valpo finished the year 11-9-1 overall while placing third during the regular season, its highest finish to that point in the Horizon League since joining the conference prior to the 2007 season. The 11 wins were third most in school history. Valpo matched its third place finish again under his guidance in 2011.

In 2008, his first season at the helm of the Brown and Gold, Marovichs squad finished 10-6-3 overall while setting a new school record with 10 shutouts on the season. His team also set a then-school record for lowest goals against average in a season, 0.71, and posted a 7-2-1 record at home.

During his time as head coach at Valpo, Marovich has had 16 players earn First Team All-Conference honors, while 17 others have been Second Team All-League picks. Marovich also has had 21 All-Newcomer Team/All-Freshman Team selections under his guidance.

Jinine Pegoraro

Parent

I was impressed with the overall flow and their ability to adapt to adverse scheduling conflicts from the facility. This is a great opportunity for my daughter to see beyond the club and school soccer, and the annoying reminding from us. It helps keep her motivated and going in the direction she wants to go with this sport. We'll definitely return to future camps. I as a parent was able to network with parents of older girls as well which helps me greatly in the posit of my daughters goals.

Harlie Ford

Player

The staff, the players, and the coaches that were apart of this camp were such genuine and caring people that I really felt welcome when I stepped on the field. Also, it was just a really fun experience where I had the chance to interact with fellow soccer lovers and I learned so much. I have to give it 10 out of 10 soccer balls.

This is one of the first times I've had the opportunity to interact so closely with college coaches and it really opened up my eyes not only to the opportunities that are available to me, but also the personalities of these coaches. They truly care about the improvement and development of their players and it's so wonderful spending time with such professional and involved people.

EXACT is a very good way to promote yourself if you are wanting to play at the next level. The most inspiring thing about EXACT is that they want everyone to believe in themselves, which goes a long way when you are trying to be your best.

The camp was very well run, and it is essential that everyone try to go to at least one EXACT camp while they still have the opportunity.

Teyah Lindo

Player

The EXACT Camp was really informative and challenging. The coaches were very honest and gave me some really good information and tips, which I really enjoyed it.

Overall, it was an excellent camp experience, wish I lived in America to visit more ID camps, coaches gave me much more coaching and training then my own coaches, so it was good to see that I can pick it up a bit to improve my overall performances. I have gone MENTALLLLL!!!!!!!

Tina Hansen

Parent

My daughter had a great time. The coaches were professional and very approachable. The question and answer panel with the coaches was informative. There was more interaction between the players and coaches than I expected from attending other "camps". The coaches really made an effort to be available when not on the field. I would highly recommend this experience to others. Soccer players can never get enough exposure for a reasonable price, nor can they gain enough experience playing with girls that are unknown to them.

Kathryn Marker

Player

EXACT offers a great experience that blends on field training in a college atmosphere with off field soft skills needed to help become a better candidate for recruitment. The coaches provide excellent, real world feedback to parents and athletes on what and what not to do. Overall its a great experience that provides insight that will serve the players and the parents well during the recruiting period.

Valya Janerico

Player

I was very satisfied with the program and how it was run. Being new to these types of experiences and camps, I was happy to see how the staff was kind and helpful to all the athletes. I know that in the future if an opportunity like this swings around the corner I will have no trouble snatching it. I had an amazing time at this camp and hope it happens again. Thank you to all for hosting it. Also having celebrity's host a camp like this one makes it very special to a lot of the athletes.

Jordan Boulton

Player

I loved that I was able to communicate and work with a variety of different coaches. It was an eye opening experience and I was surprised how sociable I was with the other girls at the camp, because I am usually shy and don't want to talk to people. Thank you and two thumbs up to you for getting me out of my shell.

Sophia Restrepo

Player

I loved the environment of the EXACT camp. It's so different from other camps because it takes into account the mental aspect of the game instead of just the physical aspect. The environment was friendly and welcome, and this camp gave me a giant boost of confidence whether for striking up a conversation with a college coach or just on the field. It was very informative and I feel like I'm on the right track for being recruited at a college that is the right fit for me. Thank you!

Olivia Ott

Player

I really appreciated the atmosphere that EXACT Sports Elite Camp provided. Everyone was included in any drill or game we were doing. It was an awesome experience to meet girls I've never seen before early in the morning, practice drills and techniques with them, and play with them/against them later in the same day. It is very different than practicing with the same team every day, every year. It was an experience to go out on a field with complete strangers and interact with them on the field. I also loved the number of college coaches who were at the camp. Especially at my young age, I haven't yet focused on one or two schools yet, so having a wide variety coaches from different schools and levels was exactly what I needed and was looking for.
