CINCINNATI - Xavier men's soccer head coach John Higgins has announced the hiring of Ian Vicars as assistant coach. Vicars played for the Musketeers from 2014-17.
"Ian graduated from Xavier in 2018 and was part of the group that made the run to the Sweet 16 in 2014," said Higgins. "I'm delighted that Ian has decided to come back to Xavier. He has a great mind for the game and has a real passion for Xavier. He is a player's coach who knows what it takes to win here at Xavier and will have a great connection with the players."
Vicars played in 21 matches for the Musketeers, recording one goal and one assist in 485 minutes of action. The Musketeers posted a 46-26-9 record with Vicars on the team and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament in 2014.
Vicars finished his playing career at UIndy (2018-19) and played for two seasons under John Higgins. During the 2019 season, he served as a player/coach.
Vicars played in 32 matches, recording one goal and one assist. The Greyhounds posted a 28-10-3 record with Vicars on the bench and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Semifinals in 2019.
After graduation, Vicars worked in the financial sector – most recently serving as senior portfolio acquisitions analyst for Tiber Capital Group (2022).
The Liverpool, England, native, holds a bachelor's degree from Xavier ('18) and a master's degree from UIndy ('20).
