Denver
Division 1
DENVER The University of Denver men's soccer team has named former Pioneer goalkeeper [Dan Jackson](https://denverpioneers.com/staff.aspxstaff=368) its volunteer assistant ahead of the 2019 season, head coach [Jamie Franks](https://denverpioneers.com/coaches.aspxrc=203) announced on Wednesday.
"I couldn't be more excited to add [Dan Jackson](https://denverpioneers.com/staff.aspxstaff=368) to our staff," Franks said. "He was a leader here as a student-athlete, anchoring the back for us in our first undefeated season. He's a great fit for our staff as his focus is on the development of the person first and he can really connect with our team. Every student-athlete that comes through our locker room is trying to leave this program better than how they found it. Dan did that as a player, and is now returning to the program in a new role with the desire to lead us to our goal of winning a National Championship."
Following four years at UNC Asheville, including a redshirt season in 2011, Jackson arrived on the Denver campus in 2015, leading the Pioneers to their first of back-to-back unbeaten regular seasons. Jackson allowed just eight goals in 2015 for 0.40 goals against average, making 40 saves en-route to 12 clean sheets and a 15-1-3 record.
"The way the program has progressed throughout the years has been inspiring - even since I played in Jamie's inaugural season as a head coach back in 2015," Jackson said. "The student-athletes, coaching staff and support staff are so granular in their approach with everything that they do, on and off the field, that I had to come back and be a small piece. The University of Denver is a special place for me as it has provided me with an outstanding education and an unforgettable student-athlete experience. However, the biggest take away was how important the culture is within an organization and the emphasis on having good character - whether that be amongst teammates or coworkers. I am excited to contribute in any way that I can."
Jackson's goals against average in 2015 was good for third in the country in that category, while he also finished 10th in save percentage (0.833).
Following the 2015 campaign, Jackson finished his second year of his MS in marketing at the University of Denver, while serving as the program's graduate assistant coach. Jackson also signed a professional contract to play for the [USL's Colorado Switchbacks FC](https://gazette.com/sports/switchbacks-dan-jackson-overcomes-odds-en-route-to-pro-career/article_faac621f-c947-5b41-ac91-a86f78dae6ac.html).

Central Arkansas
Division 1
Conway The Central Arkansas men's soccer staff has a new member, as head coach Ross Duncan has announced the hiring of Ian Henry.
Henry offers a unique knowledge of both the Bears and the Missouri Valley, having spent the past three seasons at MVC member Evansville While at Evansville, he helped the Aces improve their win total in each of his three seasons, from three in 2015 to 11 this past season. Prior to joining the Aces, Henry spent two seasons a Drury University in Springfield, Missouri, guiding the Panthers to 28 wins in two seasons, including a NCAA Division II National Tournament second round appearance.
While at Drury, Henry also served at the head coach of the Springfield Demize, a member of the United Soccer League's Professional Development League. Under Henry's guidance, the Demize finished third in its conference in 2013, its best-ever finish to that point.
Henry got his first taste of the MVC with SIUE, spending two seasons as the Cougars' Director of Operations. During his time in Edwardsville, the Cougars went 21-15-4 while making an appearance in the MVC Championship Match in 2012.
"I think one of the things that made me feel comfortable bringing Ian is a level of familiarity," said Duncan. "Knowing Ian, seeing the work that he did at what is a very competitive program at Evansville, made it very easy to make the offer. The process that Evansville went through while Ian was there is quite similar to the process we've gone through here; transforming a program that was going through some struggles to one that is competing for conference championships."
"I think this is an exciting program," said Henry of the Bears. "Seeing what Ross has done over the last number of years while I was at Evansville, and where the program has come to and the momentum is has, is definitely something that I was interested in jumping on board with."
"My goal is to help the program get better every day," said Henry. "Hopefully I can add a different perspective for the team and for the opponents in the conference as well."

The high powered team also led the league in points, corner kicks, and assists, while being among the stingiest on the defensive side of the ball, allowing the second least amount of shots and the second fewest goals per game.
In addition to a statistically fantastic season, the Tigers led the conference with the most All-SCIAC players, with 8 total, in addition to the SCIAC Conference Player of the Year, Liam Walsh. The Washington DC native led the conference by a wide margin in points and goals, with an incredible 15 goals in 14 SCIAC games (17 goals and 37 points overall), individually dominating all other players in the league.

The other six All-SCIAC players were seniors Ethan Glass, Matthew Labrie, Ariel Rosso, along with Junior Benjamin Simon, and sophomores Scott Drazan and Nate Dunning.
Wrapping up another record-breaking season, coach Lafaurie has solidified the Tiger as one of the top SCIAC men's soccer teams who is now considered among the best in the entire Western Region. In 2019, the program will look to continue to break more barriers with an exciting blend of high powered offense and solid defending throughout the year.
2017 included another winning season for the Mens Soccer Program, along with another All-Region Accolade for Senior Gabriel Barrett Jackson. Along with his United Soccer Coaches All-Region nod, Barrett-Jackson was named First Team All Sciac for the third time in his career. Joining him on the First Team was Senior Santiago Bedoya as well as Second Team Nominee, Junior Liam Walsh. Walsh led the team in goals and was in the top 10 in goals and points in the SCIAC. In goal, Oxy used three goalkeepers, after Alex Bonomis season ending injury 3 games into the season. Both Dante Amodeo and Scott Drazan played well between the pipes to ensure that Oxy was still in the top three in goals against while giving up the least amount of shots in the conference. In a slight break from tradition, they did not lead in nearly every offensive category turning their attention to the other side of the ball.
2016 was a reloading season, with the Tigers finishing 8-10-1 and narrowly missing the SCIAC tournament, being eliminated on the last day of the regular season. Finishing his outstanding career, Morgan Bennett-Smith was named 1st Team All-Sciac for the third consecutive season while juniors Tod Kawada and Gabriel Barrett-Jackson landed on the 2nd Team.

The team found its way in the top 25 during the season and was the highest ranked SCIAC team for a majority of the season. In the final computer rankings Oxy finished with the highest SCIAC ranking as it finished #29 out of 406 teams in Division III. Collectively the program set the program record for shutouts on the year with 12, goals against average at .58 win percentage at .725, placed 8 All Conference Players, including the Goalkeeper Year, and Brine Award Winner of Distinction. The high-powered offense averaged nearly three goals a game while only allowing on average half goal per game. Despite losing Sophomore All-Region Forward Tod Kawada to an early season injury, the teams potent offense continued to shine again outscoring all SCIAC opponents. Morgan Bennet-Smith, a junior forward from Sacramento, earns Frist Team honors for the second consecutive year after leading the Tigers in goals scored with eight and total points with 21. Senior Forward Connor Freeman makes the SCIAC Second team as a forward in back-to-back seasons. Freeman was third on the team in goals with five and also had two assists.

A native of Simi Valley, Calif., Ruiz has been coaching both men's and women's soccer for about 10 years.
Ruiz was born in Colombia and moved to Simi when he was nine years old. He grew up with soccer, referring to it as a "way of life" even. It only made sense to turn this passion and love for the game into a career in coaching.
After playing two years at Moorpark College where he ran the defensive back line, Ruiz moved to Kansas where he was an assistant coach at Kansas Wesleyan and worked with both the men's and women's team. His successful seasons helped guide the Coyotes to conference titles in 2007 and 2008; where the women's team also qualified for the NAIA National Tournament for the first time in program history. He also received his Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education from Kansas Wesleyan and pursued a Master's Degree in Sports Management from Southern New Hampshire.
Ruiz then came back to Calif., and became a member of the Cal State Northridge Women's soccer staff in 2009. He volunteered his first year, but continued to coach until 2015. Ruiz was in charge of developing training regiments and other administrative responsibilities. He returned to Moorpark College, in 2015, as the head coach for the women's soccer team and officially starts as the Kingsmen head coach in January 2018.

Hotalings duties include coordinating the programs recruiting efforts, team travel, and scouting, while also working on developing the UC Davis goalkeepers. Jason has been on my staff for many years, working his way up from a volunteer assistant to his new position as the associate head coach, Head Coach Dwayne Shaffer said. He has been instrumental in the development of our outstanding goalkeepers throughout the years and will now assume more responsibility in helping take our program to the next level. Hotaling has helped engineer the Aggies successful transition to the Division I level and the always difficult Big West Conference, helping lead UC Davis to a 94-89-35 overall record in his 11 seasons, with a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2007 (first round) and 2008 (second round) and five consecutive trips to the Big West Tournament, winning the conferences North Division and earning a spot into the tournaments championship match in 2012, while gaining the semifinals in 2011, 2013, and 2015. Under his tutelage, 31 student-athletes have been named to the various All-Big West teams, including five first-team honorees. In only its second full season of play at the Division I level, Hotaling also helped tutor a pair of NSCAA All-Americans in 2008, as Quincy Amarikwa and Dylan Curtis earned second- and third-team honors, respectively. Four other student-athletes: Amarikwa (2008, first team), Dylan Curtis (2008, first team), Brian Ford (2012, third team), and Omar Zeenni (2013, second team), have also been named to the NSCAA All-Far West Region squad during his time on the sidelines. In net, Hotaling has coached some of the Aggies best goalkeepers, including UC Davis first Big West Conference Goalkeeper of the Year honoree in Zeenni following the 2013 season. The record-setting keeper set school career marks for shutouts (18) and saves (220), while ranking second all-time in goals against average (0.98) -- totals that also rank him among the Big Wests all-time best following his career. The 2008 season saw goalkeeper Ryan McCowan allow a program Division I record-low 20 goals (while leading the Big West with a 0.87 GAA), a mark that was later equalled in 2012 behind the combined efforts of Zeenni and Kris Schlutz, while his keepers have posted a sub-1.00 team goals against average on three occasions, including in each of the last two seasons. The Aggies goalkeepers have also stopped better than 70 percent of the shots against them in five of his nine seasons, including a Division I-record .780 in 2012. In addition to this duties at UC Davis, Hotaling works as a head coach for the U14 Boys team at FC Elk Grove and with the Olympic Development Program in District 6, coaching and developing players while serving as a state evaluator. He also holds a B license, along with an advanced national coaching license and a goalkeeper license, with the NSCAA and has taken leadership and management courses along the way.

Division 3
Radames "Rod" Lafaurie is in his eighth year as the Occidental College men's soccer team's head coach.
The men's soccer team concluded another strong 2018 season, finishing the season at 14-6 overall, with a 10-4 conference record. In addition to winning the conference semi-final away from home and then hosting the SCIAC postseason tournament final as the highest remaining seed, the team also led the conference in several categories and had a chance to win the regular season title on the last day of the season.
On the season, the Tigers scored an amazing 46 goals in 20 games, easily outpacing the entire conference with the next closest team scoring 34 goals, while the Tigers also dominated on the defensive side of the ball, allowing the second least amount of goals per game, displaying the best balance of any SCIAC team with the largest goal differential. The high powered team also led the league in points, corner kicks, and assists, while being among the stingiest on the defensive side of the ball, allowing the second least amount of shots and the second fewest goals per game.
In addition to a statistically fantastic season, the Tigers led the conference with the most All-SCIAC players, with 8 total, in addition to the SCIAC Conference Player of the Year, Liam Walsh. The Washington DC native led the conference by a wide margin in points and goals, with an incredible 15 goals in 14 SCIAC games (17 goals and 37 points overall), individually dominating all other players in the league. In addition to his individual accolades, he was named 1st Team All-Region by the United Soccer Coaches Association at the end of the season. The economics major had a hat-trick with three goals at Redlands and another with four goals at Caltech. He scored more goals in SCIAC than both Cal Lutheran and Caltech and also set both Oxy's single-season goals mark (17) and career goals mark (31). Joining him on the First Team All-SCIAC team was Junior Riley McCabe, the towering 6'5 Center back from Lincoln, Mass., who was a force on defense for the Tigers, on top of playing outstanding defense, he also scored three goals and had two assists. The other six All-SCIAC players were seniors Ethan Glass, Matthew Labrie, Ariel Rosso, along with Junior Benjamin Simon, and sophomores Scott Drazan and Nate Dunning.
Wrapping up another record-breaking season, coach Lafaurie has solidified the Tiger as one of the top SCIAC men's soccer teams who is now considered among the best in the entire Western Region. In 2019, the program will look to continue to break more barriers with an exciting blend of high powered offense and solid defending throughout the year.
2017 included another winning season for the Mens Soccer Program, along with another All-Region Accolade for Senior Gabriel Barrett Jackson. Along with his United Soccer Coaches All-Region nod, Barrett-Jackson was named First Team All Sciac for the third time in his career. Joining him on the First Team was Senior Santiago Bedoya as well as Second Team Nominee, Junior Liam Walsh. Walsh led the team in goals and was in the top 10 in goals and points in the SCIAC. In goal, Oxy used three goalkeepers, after Alex Bonomis season ending injury 3 games into the season. Both Dante Amodeo and Scott Drazan played well between the pipes to ensure that Oxy was still in the top three in goals against while giving up the least amount of shots in the conference. In a slight break from tradition, they did not lead in nearly every offensive category turning their attention to the other side of the ball.
2016 was a reloading season, with the Tigers finishing 8-10-1 and narrowly missing the SCIAC tournament, being eliminated on the last day of the regular season. Finishing his outstanding career, Morgan Bennett-Smith was named 1st Team All-Sciac for the third consecutive season while juniors Tod Kawada and Gabriel Barrett-Jackson landed on the 2nd Team.
2015 was another banner year for the program finishing the regular season at 13-3-3 and outscoring opponents 54-9 in the process. The team found its way in the top 25 during the season and was the highest ranked SCIAC team for a majority of the season. In the final computer rankings Oxy finished with the highest SCIAC ranking as it finished #29 out of 406 teams in Division III. Collectively the program set the program record for shutouts on the year with 12, goals against average at .58 win percentage at .725, placed 8 All Conference Players, including the Goalkeeper Year, and Brine Award Winner of Distinction. The high-powered offense averaged nearly three goals a game while only allowing on average half goal per game. Despite losing Sophomore All-Region Forward Tod Kawada to an early season injury, the teams potent offense continued to shine again outscoring all SCIAC opponents. Morgan Bennet-Smith, a junior forward from Sacramento, earns Frist Team honors for the second consecutive year after leading the Tigers in goals scored with eight and total points with 21. Senior Forward Connor Freeman makes the SCIAC Second team as a forward in back-to-back seasons. Freeman was third on the team in goals with five and also had two assists. Senior Midfielders Zack Conrad and Valdair Martins Lopes earned First and Second Team honors for their contributions to the Oxy midfield engine. On the defensive side of the ball Gabriel Barrett-Jackson, a sophomore from Seattle, earns All-SCIAC honors as a defender. Barrett-Jackson, who was named Oxy's Defensive MVP last season. Theo Atkinson, nominated for All-American awards after finishing fourth in Goals Against Average and Second in Save percentage in the country won the goalkeeper of the year award in his senior campaign .
