Findlay, the winningest coach in Susquehanna Men’s Soccer history, enters his 28th season as the head coach of the Men’s Soccer program for 2025. The early years in Selinsgrove were devoted to starting the process of building a program that would be competitive not only within the Commonwealth Division of the Mid Atlantic Conference (MAC) but one that would also eventually compete at the regional and national level.
