Ostrowski

HOUGHTON — Michigan Tech Huskies soccer coach Melissa Kuhar has named A.J. Ostrowski an assistant coach with the Huskies.

Ostrowski comes to Houghton with over a decade of coaching experience including serving as the FCX travel soccer club coach and guiding UPSL affiliate Chicago Nation FC for three years from 2021-23.

“I am extremely excited to have A.J. joining my staff here at Tech,” she said. “It was a long process to find the right fit for our program, and I believe I hit a home run with this hire. He is going to be a huge addition for the program and help us continue to grow both on and off the field.

“A.J.’s soccer knowledge paired with his outgoing personality, strong set of values, and his love for the game will fit right in with the goals we look to accomplish heading into the 2025 season and beyond. I am thrilled to also welcome his wife, Caitlyn, and daughter, Keeley, to the MTU soccer family.”

“I am very blessed and buzzing to be the next addition to the Michigan Tech athletic family. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to grow under women’s soccer head coach Melissa Kuhar, as well as athletic leadership minds Dr. Suzanne Sanregret, Joel Isaacson and Rhys Edwards,” said Ostrowski. “From the moment my family and I came to campus, we just knew this was our next home. With the academic and athletic reputation of Michigan Tech being second to none, alongside having a family oriented community tightly integrated within the fibers of the school, it made moving to Michigan Tech the best choice for me and my family.

“I am especially excited to bring energy, passion, and soccer prowess to our student athletes as we strive for the Husky way of ‘quiet confidence’ in our humble pursuit of cultivating a winning culture through hard work and determination.”

Ostrowski graduated from Carthage College in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in sports and exercise science with a minor in education as well as having a CONCACAF C License. He served as a teacher and age group coordinator for the FCX Travel Soccer Club, where he coached from 2015-25.

He was the head coach for Chicago Nation in the UPSL, leading the team to deep playoff runs in 2021, 2022 and 2023, capped with a third-place national finish representing the USA in the UPSL Champions Cup against Mexico in 2023.

Additionally, Ostrowski was an assistant coach for Barrington, (Illinois) High School girls soccer team during their state championship run in 2017-18. 

At the collegiate level, he was a part of the Carthage College men’s soccer program, contributing to three NCAA playoff berths, two CCIW titles, and the first NCAA tournament win in school history. He also served as an assistant coach for the team during the 2015-16 season following his playing career.

His duties at Michigan Tech began in the beginning of July.

CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College women’s soccer head coach Matt Smith has formally announced the hiring of a new assistant to the Blue Hose program, bringing in South Carolina native Bradley Anderson.

Anderson – originally from Lexington and former assistant with the PC men’s soccer team in 2022 – returns to Clinton after more recent stops at his alma mater Erskine and Spartanburg Methodist.

“I’m excited to have Bradley join our staff”, remarked Smith, who helped deliver Presby’s highest win count in six seasons last fall. “He is a young coach with a high level of soccer knowledge. His energy is infectious and he will be a huge piece of getting this program to where we want it to be.”

Commented Anderson, “This opportunity represents much more than a coaching role, it is a chance to contribute meaningfully to the development of student-athletes within a program and institution that align with my values.”

“I want to thank Coach Matt Smith and Athletic Director Dee Nichols for trusting me within this role. I look forward to working alongside a passionate staff to help our student-athletes thrive on the field and in all aspects of their lives. I’m excited for the journey ahead. Go Blue Hose!”

Anderson has already coached two separate double-digit win seasons in his blossoming career at the college level, coaching 11 combined all-conference players at PC and Spartanburg Methodist.

 
SPARTANBURG METHODIST (2024)
 
Last fall, Anderson roamed the sideline for SMC where they witnessed an 11-5-1 mark. The Pioneers got the victory in all but one of their six home matches, finishing fourth in the Continental Athletic Conference.

Spartanburg Methodist carried a seven-match winning streak in the first half of the season, acquiring four clean sheets in that period.

For their efforts, SMC landed three student-athletes on the All-CAC Second Team list, while three others were named Honorable Mention. Caitlin Lagos was chosen as the conference’s Champion of Character to conclude the year.

 
ERSKINE (2023)
 
Prior to his most recent gig at Spartanburg Methodist, Bradley spent the 2023 campaign back at his alma mater in Due West. He’d spend that lone season at the same school where he was a part of 26 total wins as a student, going as far back as six years prior.

 Anderson’s coaching credentials at Erskine included a team GPA well above the 3.0 mark, as well as maintaining all players on the roster for the ensuing season.

 
PRESBYTERIAN MEN’S TEAM (2022)
 
Three years ago, Anderson made his Presbyterian debut under then-head coach Jonathan Potter for the ’22 season. PC went unbeaten in games played at Martin Stadium that year (6-0-2), qualifying for the Big South Tournament after an overall record of 10-5-2.

The Blue Hose were chosen for a weekly award by the conference on six occasions that semester, with Lorenzo Nagy finishing the year as an All-Big South First Team representative.

Carson Griffith and Nacho Gallego followed on the all-league Second Team unit, not to mention Nile Nguidjol as Honorable Mention and Leo Stritter making the Big South All-Freshman Team.

 
GREENWOOD & A.C. FLORA HIGH SCHOOL (2017-24)
 
Anderson’s contributions to soccer extend well beyond the collegiate level, spending numerous seasons assisting the boys’ programs for the Greenwood Eagles and A.C. Flora Falcons.

In one season at A.C. Flora, Anderson’s group captured a Region One 4A title and sent six players to All-Region status. He also directed three Region One 5A Championship teams at Greenwood, mentoring student-athletes that went on to play Division I, Division II, NAIA, and Community College.

 
CLUB VENTURES
 
For the past six years, Anderson has served as the head men’s and women’s soccer coach for the Lakelands Toros club team based in Greenwood, coaching to three league championships and two open cup crowns in the process.

Additionally, he was named the President of Emerald City FC (another organization out of Greenwood) in July 2023, a title that he still holds.

Anderson holds a C License from the United States Soccer Federation.

 
PLAYING CAREER & EDUCATION (2017-23)
 
Anderson’s upperclassman seasons at Erskine were stories to remember, winning 17 total contests over that span and nearly making the NCAA Division II national tournament on both occasions.

The 2019 season – Anderson’s junior year – was a breakout moment for the Flying Fleet, going 7-3 in Conference Carolinas action on their way to 10 overall wins. They’d make it to the league championship match, ultimately falling to Limestone.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Bradley’s senior season was delayed until the spring of 2021, an abbreviated campaign where Erskine managed a 7-1 mark and an unblemished regular season record (6-0). Erskine’s only loss all season came in the CC Tournament, eliminated by Belmont Abbey.

Anderson received a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences at Erskine College (2021). He’d follow up with a Master of Science diploma in Athletic Coaching at Columbia College in 2023.
