"I am excited to see Mike officially on staff as men's soccer's head coach," said Scheese. "He has already proven his dedication to the growth of our women's soccer program by his contributions of time, soccer knowledge, and I look forward to what the men's program will accomplish with a mentor that keeps each cadet at the forefront of why we coach here.
