Coach d'Angelo joins the staff with 20 years of coaching experience at the competitive club and high school level in Kentucky. He is currently in his 14th year of coaching on the men's side for Lexington FC (12) and Lexington Sporting Club (2-present), as well as serving as the Path to the Pros Director (U16-U19) in their academy-based organization. During his time at the club level, his teams accomplished

multiple state championships and finalist standings. Most recently, he helped guide the 2006 Lexington Sporting Club boys to the Midwest Regional semifinal. He also brings 7 years of experience from Lafayette High School, during which the program achieved 2 district championships and ended the past season as a state finalist.

"I have always had tremendous admiration for this university's commitment to excellence in the classroom and on the field. I view it as a privilege to have been given the opportunity to join such a quality soccer program and to share my passion for this sport, along with the prospect that it offers to teach young men in a highly competitive environment. I am excited to partner with coach Ben Federici and his vision for what is to come," said d'Angelo.

In addition to his coaching experience, Coach d'Angelo comes to the program after 25 years of managerial experience at Lexmark International. While at Lexmark, he led various worldwide operations and supply chain organizations and will be looking to apply that skill set as well to grow the soccer

program.
