The 2023 season will mark Troy Louwagie's first as Hamline University assistant men's soccer. Louwagie will work with the Pipers goalkeepers.

Troy has been coaching goalkeepers since 2017 with stops at Keeper Konnection, Edina Soccer Club, Southeast Minneapolis Soccer Club, and Wayzata High School.

No stranger to the MIAC, Louwagie was a four-year member of the St. Thomas (Minn.) men's soccer program from 2016-2019. The Tommies won two MIAC Regular Season Championships, two MIAC Tournament Championships, and secured three NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Tournament appearances with Louwagie on the roster. This includes a sweet sixteen appearance in 2018, a spot in the elite eight in 2017, and a berth into the final four as a first-year student in 2016.

The Plymouth, Minnesota native appeared in 19 career games as a goalkeeper for the Tommies. He accumulated a 0.69 goals against average, a .761 save percentage, nine shutouts, and a 13-2-1 win-loss record.

Louwagie obtained his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from St. Thomas (Minn.) in 2020.
