He graduated in 1990 ranked third all-time in assists, a place in the record books that he still holds. He then became an assistant coach on the 1990 conference championship team for the Blueboys before becoming the first-ever head coach in the history of the women's soccer program. He led the Lady Blues for four years and helped IC achieve a program-best eight victories in 1995, a mark that held for nearly 20 years.
