About Head Coach Cole Sweeter

Cole Sweetser is entering his fifth season (2021) as head coach of the men's soccer program.

Last season (2020) Sweetser helped guide his athletes on and off the field through the COVID-19 pandemic. The team garnered 4 wins including a 3-1 win over SAC rival Southwestern Assemblies of God in the season finale. Earlier in the season the same two teams had battled into double-overtime during a non-conference tilt. Mateja Jovanovic lifted the Rams to victory in that contest when he scored with just 33 seconds remaining in the second overtime period. Jovanovic, a freshman from Belgrade, Serbia was named 2nd-team All-SAC after tallying 8 goals and 2 assists as well as 3 multi-goal games. Nine Rams were named Academic All-SAC, while Robinson Mugisha was named an SAC Scholar-Athlete. In addition, the team was named an SAC Scholar-Team with a 3.01 cumulative GPA.

As head coach, Sweetser has produced four All-Conference selections, three NAIA Scholar-Athletes, 19 Academic All-Conference selections and three SAC Scholar-Athletes.
