Pat Holguin
Head Coach

As the head of both Marietta College soccer programs for the past seven years, Patrick Holguin spends most of his fall on the soccer field. The 2007 campaign will be no different. Holguin enters his eighth season as the women's head coach; it will also be his tenth year leading the men's program.

Sporting a career overall record of 69-42-14 (.608) with the women's program, Holguin holds the best winning percentage among any of the Lady Pioneers' past coaches. He is also the only coach in school history to achieve 12 wins in a season, a feat he accomplished in 2003 and 2004. He then led his 2005 Pioneers to a school record 14 wins. Holguin's 2003 crew was also responsible for claiming Marietta's best Ohio Athletic Conference finish (two-way tie for third) since 1991. Under his direction, the women have racked up 23 All-OAC post-season honors. In addition, four athletes were named Clyde A. Lamb recipients, while one received the Betty Cleland award.

Holguin has achieved similar success with the men's program, compiling a 58-85-13 (.413) career record. Holguin's winning percentage ranks fifth among Pioneer coaches. In 2002, his team finished the season 12-5-2, the most victories by a MC team since 1984. Holguin's athletes have accumulated 14 All-OAC post-season awards, among them Marcos Vaca, who is only the second player in Marietta history to earn All-OAC honors for four straight years (2001-04).

A 1989 graduate from Quinnipiac College with a degree in international business, Holguin began his coaching career in Houston, Texas. From 1993-97, he was the head coach of the men and women's club soccer program at the University of Houston. He was also involved as a coach with the South Texas Olympic Development Program, and was the Director of Player Development and Coaching with the Alliance Soccer Program.

Stephen Rose
Assistant Coach

Stephen Rose begins his third year as an assistant coach for the men and women's soccer programs at Marietta College. It is his first as a full-time member of the department.

A graduate of Marietta High School, Rose returned to his hometown after attending Walsh University where he received his undergraduate degree in communications. He was a four-year starter for the Cavaliers and garnered All-American Mideast Conference (AMC) honors twice.

In addition to his collegiate playing experience, Rose was also a successful player with the local River Valley Soccer Club. Considering his club coach was Patrick Holguin, Rose feels right at home on the Marietta College soccer coaching staff.

Rose earned his United States Soccer Federation (USSF) "D" license last summer. He remains active with the River Valley Soccer Club, where he coaches an under-15 and under-16 boys team. Rose also coordinates all of the local youth soccer tournaments and camps at Marietta.

Rose completed his Master of Arts in Liberal Learning in the spring of 2007. He will assist in the sports information department this year.
