Drew Dilley enters his third season as an associate coach of the men's and women's soccer teams in the 2014 season.
The historic 2013 women's team saw many records break as they earned the first trip to the NCAA Tournament in program history. After a perfect 11-0 run through the conference the Nittany Lions edged out Keuka College 1-0 in overtime of the NEAC Semifinal. The team then captured its first NEAC Championship with a 4-0 win over Penn State Abington in the title game. At the NCAA Tournament, the Nittany Lions suffered a 2-0 setback to The College of New Jersey, which was ranked 15 in the nation at the time.
The 2013 squad had a program-best 16-4-1 overall record and 11-0 in the conference. The team set school records in wins (16), goals (93), assists (48), and shutouts (11). The Nittany Lions had the NEAC Player of the Year (Dana Sarcinello), Rookie of the Year (Sarcinello), and Coach of the Year (Munteanu). The 2013 team also had three members on the all-conference first team, three on the second team, and one third team selection.
The 2012 women's squad finished 14-3-2 overall and claimed its first NEAC regular-season championship after finishing 11-0-1 in the conference. Berks defeated SUNYIT, 4-0, in the NEAC Semifinal round to reach the Championship for the first time in school-history. The Nittany Lions fell 2-0 to Lancaster Bible College in a hard fought NEAC title game.
