Saint Peter's
Division 1
Julian Richens enters his 10th season as the head coach of the mens soccer program at Saint Peter's in 2020-21.
Richens' ninth year in Jersey City was hands down his most successful after guiding the Peacocks to their winningest season in a decade and an outright Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) regular season title. Saint Peter's finished the year with a 13-6-0 overall record as well as a program-best 9-1-0 mark in league play. Along the way, Richens and his staff propelled the squad to an appearance in the 2019 MAAC Championship Finals -- their first such appearance since their last title in 2010 -- after a program-record 10-game winning/unbeaten streak. Despite finishing as the league tournament runners-up, the Peacocks still earned their first regular season crown since 2010 and posted the third-highest win total in single-season school history.
For his efforts behind the bench, Richens earned his first MAAC Coach of the Year award since taking command in 2011 by unanimous selection after the team was selected seventh in the preseason coaches' poll. Richens is the fourth Peacock coach in the program's history to earn the honor, following Gerry McKeown (1994), Cesar Markovic (2003), and Guy Abrahamson (2010). But he was not alone in earning major hardware, as Dominic Laws '21 was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year. The combination of Richens and Laws marked only the second time in program history in which two Peacocks both received MAAC men's soccer major awards, with the other pair being Assaf Sheleg and Guy Abrahamson, who were the Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year, respectively, in 2010.
Additionally, the Peacocks also led the league with their seven all-conference honorees in 2019, a figure that is tied for the most in a single season in program history (2006). Both Laws and classmate Jordan Jowers '21 also gathered additional postseason hardware as all-region selections by the ECAC and United Soccer Coaches' Association. Saint Peter's also boasted a league-leading 15 MAAC All-Academic Team honorees, as well.
In 2018, Richens helped Saint Peter's post a 5-4-1 MAAC record and 8-9-2 overall record, improving on both MAAC and overall records from the 2017 campaign. Richens' team finished the regular season in sixth place, qualifying for the MAAC playoffs for the first time under his leadership and last time since 2010. During the season, the team had a three-game shutout stretch for the first time since 2010 and scored four goals in consecutive games for the first time since 2007. Richens coached three All-MAAC players in sophomores Jordan Jowers (1st Team) and Dominic Laws (2nd Team), and freshman Jason Dubrovich (Rookie Team), making them the first Peacock trio since 2010 to earn all-league honors in the same season. Additionally, Richens had three separate players win MAAC weekly awards during the season, the teams most weekly honors since 2013.
Over the past two seasons, Richens sports a 21-15-2 overall mark (.553) and a 14-5-1 MAAC tally (.700); the combined 14 conference wins over the last two seasons are the most through any two year period in program history. He also headed the NJCU women's soccer program for one season in 2003-04.
In 2017 under Richens, the Peacocks earned two wins and a tie over playoff qualifying teams (Iona, Hartwick [Sun Belt Conference], and tied with Bucknell [Patriot League]) and earned a tie against Big East foe Seton Hall. The teams 4-0 blowout win over Iona at home was the programs largest margin of victory since the 2014 season. Richens also had rookie-sensation forward Jordan Jowers earn All-MAAC Second team and All-Rookie team honors.
The team led the MAAC in saves and saves per game in 2016 and Richens led Saint Peter's to a team-best seven wins with him at the helm in 2015, while the Peacocks also advanced to the MAAC Tournament that year. Richens has coached two All-MAAC first-team selection, six All-MAAC second-team honorees and two All-Rookie team selections in his tenure at Saint Peter's.
He came to Saint Peters after serving as a mens assistant coach at Rider for four seasons.
Since coming to the United States in 1999, Richens has been a Regional Manager for Noga ProExcel, a national coaching company. He also directed Champions World Camps with AC Milan and served as head coach for New Jersey City Universitys womens team during the 2003 season.

"I feel very fortunate for this opportunity and want to thank Dr. Theulen, (Senior Associate Director of Athletics) Joe Sassi, (Assistant Athletic Director/Business Manager) Jody Lemoi and the entire search committee for selecting me. During the search process, I was so impressed with the positive energy in the department and I look forward to working closely with my new colleagues.
"We will evaluate our progress in three areas including academic achievement, strong citizenship including impacting our local community, and athletic success. The Commonwealth Coast Conference is outstanding in the sport of mens soccer and will provide a great challenge as we pursue future CCC championships.

I also am looking forward to continuing the recruiting efforts begun by coaches Sullivan and Tim Larocca (an assistant who served as the head coach on an interim basis during the search process) as we look to secure the recruiting class of 2015," said O'Neill.

In his two seasons in Peoria, the Braves posted a 26-15-5 record with 15 wins in 2011 for the second-most wins in program history.

O'Neill replaces Erin Sullivan who resigned in January to take the men's soccer post at Williams College, his alma mater.

I will work hard to build upon his excellent work and strive to continue the programs record of success."

Parent
I attended the camp with my son. The information that the EXACT personnel provided was excellent. We are now much more informed regarding the college recruiting and scholarship qualification's. The coaches that mentored the boys were also very knowledgeable, devoted, and fun. The rating that was provided after the camp was very helpful to help guide my son with his future training. The camp helped to boost my son's confidence and love for the game. I cannot say enough about the camp. You guys are the best ! Thanks for your efforts!
Parent
I brought my son to this camp not really knowing what to expect and was concerned about how young he was for the camp, since it appears designed around high school level players. I was surprised by the in-depth amount of information that EXACT provided us regarding how to prepare for the college recruitment process. Without a doubt, we would have missed out on the opportunity to know how the process works and the information you provided was insightful and we have confidence moving forward as our son moves into high school and college beyond.
Great job and we look forward to attending more EXACT camps, as well as introduce my younger son to the camps when the time is right. Thank you!

I had an amazing experience at EXACT Camp. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk face-to-face with so many coaches from around the country. I also enjoyed the opportunity to train with new coaches. I am looking forward to visiting coaches that I met at their schools and getting to take a closer look at their programs. It was also cool to meet so many fellow athletes from other places and make new friends. Thank you so much for everything!! Thank you!!!

This is the first ID Camp that I have attended and it was a positive experience in every way. The camp was very well organized leading up to the camp with very informative emails and preparation work for the camp. On the day of the camp, registration was well organized and the EXACT team was there to help for every step of the way. Chris was an excellent leader and motivated me from the very beginning. It was amazing to be exposed to real college coaches and to be coached both on and off the field. Getting feedback on the day was very rewarding. I am looking forward to attending EXACT Soccer Academic 50 ID Camp in June/July.

This was a wonderful opportunity to meet coaches and other players in a completely different format. There is a chance to show individual skills that may not be seen in a regular soccer tournament environment. The interaction with coaches is outstanding and I really feel that I was able to get exposure from EXACT that I would not have anywhere else. Thanks for a great session and options to see so many coaches. I can't wait to see where this opportunity leads me!

I was surprised to see so many coaches, and having them available to talk to. I wish I would have known about EXACT Sports Elite Camp my junior year. I left feeling like I had personal attention from coaches, and got a better grip on how to navigate the college sports recruitment process.
