Men's Soccer Adds Kevin Reiman to Staff as Assistant Coach

CINCINNATI – Xavier men's soccer head coach Andy Fleming announced the addition of Kevin Reiman to his staff as an assistant coach on Friday.

Reiman joins the Musketeers from Seattle Pacific University, where he was in the same position for the past four seasons.

During the last four years, Reiman helped SPU to a 48-13-14 record, including a 26-4-9 home mark at Interbay Stadium. The Falcons made three consecutive NCAA Division II Tournament appearances, two of them as the No. 1 seed in the West Region. They also won the 2014 and 2015 Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships.

Prior to his time at Seattle Pacific, Reiman spent two seasons as an assistant at Army and two years in the business sector in Seattle.

Reiman earned a bachelor of arts degree in criminal justice from Michigan State in 2008. Before joining the Army staff, Reiman was the head coach of the freshman soccer team at Okemos High School in Michigan for one season.

COACH FLEMING ON REIMAN

"I go back with Kevin. I recruited him when I was coaching at Boston University in 2005 and then competed against him in the Big Ten during my time at Northwestern. He has a wide array of soccer experiences including playing at Maryland, Michigan State and Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer. He's also coached at both West Point and Seattle Pacific. His high-level playing experience, time spent with coaches such as Jason Kreis and Sasho Cirovski, and a cup of coffee in corporate America make him both soccer savvy and socially versatile. His ability to train with our guys is huge, while his quick wit and sense of humor provide balance to our staff and will be well received by our players. He is the sixth Xavier hire since 2013 to have a national championship to his resume, winning with Maryland in 2005. I'm excited to welcome he and his wife Meredith to our family."

PLAYING EXPERIENCE

A left-footed midfielder, Reiman was selected by Real Salt Lake with the third pick of the third round (28th overall) of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft. He helped RSL reach the Western Conference finals in the team's first-ever playoff appearance, leading all reserve midfielders in minutes played while tallying a goal and four assists during the season.

He was drafted after an accomplished collegiate career that included second-team All-Big Ten honors during a two-year stay at Michigan State. After leading the Spartans with four assists as a junior in 2006, Reiman was second with five in 2007 as the team qualified for only its third NCAA Tournament appearance since 1969. In 39 total appearances at Michigan State, he started 31 contests while compiling 11 points on a goal and nine assists.

Reiman began his collegiate playing career with two seasons at national powerhouse Maryland, playing under a staff that included current Army head coach Russell Payne as an assistant coach. Reiman participated in 34 games, including six starts, as the Terrapins were crowned national champions in 2005 after making an appearance in the semifinals in 2004.

A two-time NSCAA/adidas All-American and a McDonald's High School All-America nominee, Reiman prepped at Yorktown (N.Y.) High School. He was an adidas Elite Soccer Program (ESP) All-Star during his senior campaign.

As a five-year starter for the Olympic Development Program Region-I team, Reiman competed in events throughout the country, as well as internationally in France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Ireland, England, Italy and Argentina. He also served for seven years as captain of the Yorktown Spirit club team that won four Eastern New York State Cup Championships and was a six-time New York State finalist.
