Oliver Stoudt is entering his second season as an assistant coach for UC Men's Lacrosse after being hired in January of 2018.
In 2018, Stoudt helped coach UC to a program-best 13-5 (5-1 AAC) season in 2018 that culminated with an appearance in the semifinals of the NAIA National Invitational. Stoudt helped coach three NAIA All-Americans, including two first team selections (Nick DiFranco & Jake Morgan), one Daktronics-NAIA Scholar Athlete (Henry Quaye), four NAIA All-Tournament Team selections (DiFranco, Mitchell, Bryan Morgan & Will Settle), one AAC Player of the Year (DiFranco), one AAC Defensive Player of the Year (Morgan), one AAC Freshman of the Year (Morgan), three AAC All-Tournament Team selections, nine AAC All-Conference selections, one AAC Champion of Character and five Academic All-Conference honorees.
Prior to joining the Patriots, Stoudt played two years of lacrosse at Georgian Court University (NJ). In his two years with the Lions, Stoudt played in 31 games (29 starts), while recording 45 ground balls and 37 caused turnovers. He also served as one of the team captains both years. Prior to that, Stoudt spent two years playing defense at Genesee College (NY), where he ranked 12th in the NJCAA in caused turnovers.
Stoudt, who graduated from Georgian Court University in May 2017 with a Bachelor's Degree in History, is pursuing a Masters Degree in Christian Studies at University of the Cumberlands.
"This team is on the cusp of doing something special and making a run at the national level and I'm excited to be a part of it," said Stoudt.
