Soccer: A new impact

After four successful seasons with former head coach Derek Pittman, Idaho soccer enters a new era this year.

Jeremy Clevenger took control over Vandal soccer in the summer, just weeks before the start of the regular season.

“It’s been a little hectic, but it’s been fun,” Clevenger said. “It’s been great getting to be part of the process and getting to know the team — getting to know how this athletic department works. I am just really blessed to be here.”

The coaching change is not the first obstacle the program faced in recent months. University of Idaho President Chuck Staben announced the plan to resolve the $1 million deficit facing the athletic department — add three low-cost, revenue generating sports or cut three ex- isting programs, including soccer.
