Building Sustained Success

With seven years at Brockport in the books, Coach Mike Idland has worked to establish a blueprint for long-term success. The program has made it to the SUNYAC Tournament four out of his five seasons at the helm, including its first SUNYAC Semifinal appearance since 2013. In 2019, Brockport achieved its best record under Idland with a team filled with talented underclassmen and led the conference in scoring. The squad was able to get back to the conference tournament once again in 2021, making an appearance in the quarterfinals for the third time under Coach Idland.

Prior to Idland’s time with the Golden Eagles, he was the head coach at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. In his eight seasons with the Panthers he accumulated a record of 88-54-6. Idland was first named the AMCC Coach of the year in 2011 after leading Pitt-Bradford to an impressive 13-3-2 record. He also was awarded the AMCC Co-Coach of the year in the 2015 season.

Here at Brockport the team was awarded the Team Academic Award with a 3.26 GPA in both 2016 and 2018. Most recently, in the fall of 2019, Idland's team collectively earned a 3.38 GPA which was the highest of all fall sports teams on campus.
