John Plevyak enters his second season as Head Men's Soccer coach for the Mustangs. During his first season for SU, Plevyak and his assistants worked together to finish the season with an overall record of 8-10-1 and a record of 4-4 in their first season in the Capital Athletic Conference.

Plevyak takes the reigns of the men's soccer program as its sixth coach in the program's history. Plevyak came to SU from McDaniel College, where he held the record for achieving the most wins in the men's soccer 82 year history, with an overall record of 125-113-17.   In the past five of seven seasons, Plevyak has finished in the top ten in the 82-team Mid-Atlantic Region, with players who have racked up 79 wins - the most in any seven year span in McDaniel's soccer history. 

Plevyak has coached thirty-seven players to the All-Centennial Conference team, two of which were named CC Player of the Year.  Three of Plevyak's players also garnered awards outside of the playing field, achieving spots on the NSCAA Scholar All-East Region Team, a squad that encompasses all three NCAA divisions of collegiate soccer.  Throughout the first 70 years prior to his arrival at McDaniel, only two teams had earned double-digit seasons, a feat that Plevyak conquered four of the past seven seasons as head coach.  In 2005 Plevyak won the Centennial Conference regular season title, allowing just two goals all year.

Plevyak, a Baltimore native, began his coaching career at his alma mater Mt. St. Joseph High School in Baltimore , MD.   At St. Joe he led the Gaels to an 81-22-10 record and two MIAA championships over his eight year tenure.  Plevyak then stepped away from coaching and entered the business world for 11 years, but coaching lured him back in 1994 as he took the reins at McDaniel.

John is a graduate of University of Baltimore , with a degree in criminal justice.  He currently lives in Finksburg , Maryland , with his wife, Dana, and their children, Lindsey and Jonathan.
