"Horrible coach, assisted by her husband who never played the game at the collegiate level. Player development is minimal, personal growth does come from being exposed to an uncaring and non-communicative coaching "staff", so at least this prepares them for the real world in an odd rather abrupt way . If you play, all is well, if you don't you will be ignored (not by the team, most of the girls are pretty caring and step in when they see another victim in the making). You will not be permitted to ask about playing time or getting better, you will get shut down hard with no discussion. Spiritual leadership and growth is non-existent from the coaches they push that off on someone else, but only after the university made them do so. The recruiting process is all smiles and promises, but lacks the honestly that should be present when recruiting for a Christian university. Several players have walked when they found out that chapel is required, there is no drinking, etc. Roster attrition is high due to the mental stress of dealing with these coaches, the husband is a bully (towards college age girls) and the the wife refuses to communicate, and they will try and pull your scholarship the minute you tell them you are leaving. Which may not sound out of line, but consider soccer is a fall sport the scholarship is for the entire year, by playing the season you earn the full year's scholarship, so threatening to pull it is just testament to how they view their players and a type of petty revenge. They refuse to even address questions of play time. Many reports of players exiting the coaches office after a meeting in tears due to how they were treated after have the audacity to ask about playing. Witnessed more than half of the home games ended with at least one player leaving the game in tears. For proof check the roster, see how many Sr's they have and how many underclasswomen leave from year to year. Some of those that leave are even starters, so the poor treatment is experienced throughout the team and not just by non-starters. If a player is starting, playing all the minutes and then leaves, something is up. If your thinking of attending MVNU it is a great school with caring staff and professors, however if your thinking of playing soccer be very aware of what your getting into as both the player and the parent of the player. Reach out to the university and ask about the coaches and be specific in wanting to know about the issues they have had in the past 3 to 5 years, demand answers as this is an important time of development for your student. All in all a horrible experience, that I would not wish upon any player or their family. I will leave this same warning on any recruiting website I come across."
