"All I know is I wish my daughter came here earlier. Phil and the soccer program he has built has been the best experience for her. I’m glad she transferred here to play for him and win a championship. This program doesn’t win its first championship without him as the leader and all the players he recruited. He did everything for this program and for its players. As she was one of his leaders, she truly enjoyed everything and the experience he gave her and her teammates. She will have a RING forever!!!

"Steve has not only made me a better player, but a better person as well. His love for the game is obvious for how much time and effort he puts into coaching, and his passion for his players is evident for the amount of time he makes himself available to work and talk with them. Steve is not only an amazing mentor but a master strategist. His knowledge of the game and experience as both a coach and player make him crafty, creative, and effective in setting his team up for the best chance of success. If you give Steve the time to know you, he will change you for the better. He remembers every name and face, and he makes everyone he interacts with feel special and important. Any one of his alumni will tell you how influential and meaninglful he was to them throughout their college career."

"Marsha is one of the most passionate coaches I’ve ever experienced. She is highly motivated to be successful and works tirelessly to provide the best experience for her student-athletes, both on and off the field. From the moment she stepped on campus she increased the energy and standards for the program all while boosting off-the-field experiences like team bonding, new equipment/updated locker room, team meals, fundraising for team travel, etc. The most successful players in her program are the ones who match her energy, work rate, and have a team-first mentality. Future is bright for AU! "

"Of course players have their opinions, especially those who don’t play and don’t like the commitment of what a D1 has to make. I have played for him for 4 years and I have never played for any coach who cares as much as Phil. Yes he is honest. Yes he is intense. Yes he is old school but that made me a better player and person. This program finally has expectations, standards and a coach who holds everyone accountable. Thank you Phil "

"I started out with an excitement and eagerness to work hard on and off the field at this great academic school in a great location. The soccer program fell short immediately. Coach Marsha and her assistant coaches are inexperienced but push hard to the point of injuries without actual improvement in performance. They are not approachable, not honest, and frankly act like teenagers who were given a job well beyond their capacity. Money rules at this school, so unless your parents are willing to dole out thousands of dollars to the soccer program, you will be persona non grata on the team."

"Coach Davin is a jerk. He was not very welcoming to me when I join the team, he pushed me away when I asked for help countless times, and when I decided to leave the school he was so excited I could see the smile on his face in the meeting. It was very hurtful to commit to a school and see him not want to see an athlete to get better."
