A Familiar Face Returns
Ryan Christianson has been named the new head coach of the Fargo Davies boys soccer program, a move that reunites the alum with the school where he first honed his midfield skills during the program’s formative years.
Christianson’s coaching résumé includes a decade of success at Fargo Shanley, where he guided the girls team to an unbeaten 13‑0‑4 season and captured the 2026 state title, while the boys squad posted a 16‑1‑2 record and won the 2023 North Dakota championship.
Championship Pedigree
He will continue to serve as head coach of the Shanley girls while taking the reins of the Davies boys in the fall, a dual responsibility that reflects his deep ties to both programs.
Christianson credits former mentors Nick Christianson and Ian Costello for shaping his coaching philosophy, and he inherits the program from Adam Haskins, who stepped down after three seasons that produced a 29‑14‑7 record and two state tournament appearances.
His immediate goal is to restore the Davies boys to the state tournament and to build a competitive, culture‑driven team that reflects the standards he set at Shanley.
