Head Coach – Rudy Brownell

 

Tiffin University Dragons Men’s Soccer Head Coach Rudy Brownell  announces 11 signings for the 2009 recruiting class. “This recruiting class will have a good impact on our  returning players, adding competition at every position. These are all very successful and talented athletes, and we feel they can have an impact on our program.  Last season we were one game away from making the NCAA playoffs, and this recruiting class should help us win that extra game that we need,” said Coach Brownell.

Last season, the Dragons men’s soccer program posted a 13-6 record as a Division II.  They ended up ranked #5 in the Great Lakes Region on their way to the GLIAC Tournament Championship.
