A Fresh Era for the Buffs
Milligan Men's Soccer has become a fixture in the NAIA National Tournament, earning a spot in the championship event for six consecutive seasons. The program’s recent run of appearances reflects a steady rise that has captured the attention of college soccer fans across the country.
Enter Brad Camp, the newly appointed head coach who arrives from a distinguished stint as an assistant at Yale and a successful two‑year tenure at Colorado Christian College, where he guided the team to its first winning season. Camp’s journey also includes a formative period at East Tennessee State University, giving him an intimate understanding of the region’s soccer landscape.
Looking Ahead to the Season Opener
Camp is eager to translate his experience into immediate impact at Milligan, citing the vibrant soccer culture of East Tennessee and the quality of the college’s facilities as key ingredients for growth. He has set an ambitious target: to capture the conference title in his debut season and to keep the Buffs’ tournament streak alive.
The excitement is palpable as the team prepares for its first test on the field. An exhibition match against UNC Greensboro is slated for August 9, marking the official start of a campaign that many expect to be both competitive and transformative for the program.
With a blend of seasoned leadership and youthful talent, Milligan hopes to build on its recent successes and cement its reputation as a perennial contender on the national stage.
