Wittenberg Men's Soccer Head Coach 
Head Men's Soccer Coach: Dr. Steve DawsonOffice Phone: (937) 327-6456 E-mail: sdawson@wittenberg.edu Record: 207-140-17 (1983-1987; 1989-present) London, England native Steve Dawson has carefully built the Wittenberg men's soccer program into a formidable presence on the regional Division III scene. He was named North Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year an unprecedented three consecutive years in 1991, '92 and '93, leading the Tigers to their first-ever NCAC championship in 1993. Wittenberg has made four appearances in the NCAA Division III tournament since 1991, and the Tigers put together a .500 record or better every year from 1987 through 2001. In 1991 and 1992, Wittenberg lost hard-fought one-goal matches each year to NCAC rival Ohio Wesleyan, the eventual national runner-up. And in 1993 and 1996, the Tigers lost similar one-goal decisions to another NCAC rival, Kenyon, which also went on to finish second in the tournament each year. Dawson, with a career record of 207-140-17 through the 2002 season, led Wittenberg to a sparkling 121-57-9 record from 1990-98. Seventy-six of those victories came by shutout. During that span, Dawson's teams had 20 players named first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference. Dawson won his 200th career game on Oct. 17, 2001 against Wabash College. And five players have participated in the Ohio Collegiate All-Star Game the last two years. Dawson coached at four different schools in England before coming to the United States. A graduate of Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England, he earned his master's degree from Kent State University in 1981 and his doctorate from The Ohio State University in 1994. Dawson formerly coached both swimming and men's soccer at Wittenberg before concentrating on the latter while continuing to teach classes. And he has a variety of coaching honors and licenses, including the English FA Coaching Badge, the NSCAA Advanced National Diploma and the USSF A License. He has even coached gymnastics in his long and distinguished career.
