ASTON, Pa. - Neumann University's Director of Athletics and Recreation Chuck Sack has announced the hiring of Tim Hollenback as the Head Men's Soccer Coach and Academic and Life Skills Coordinator.
"We are excited to welcome Tim to this opportunity. His appreciation for our students and soccer was clearly evident in the vision he shared for this role," says Chuck Sack. "His passion for soccer is exciting and his drive to role model our institutional mission and values is outstanding."

"I would like to thank Mr. Chuck Sack and the rest of the search committee for granting me the opportunity to become the Head Men's Soccer Coach and Academic and Life Skills Coordinator at Neumann University. Neumann has been my home for seven years and I am excited to begin working with student-athletes on a full-time basis. It has been an honor working alongside former coach Kevin Sloan and it will be my aim to continue the tradition of success that we have built together over the past seven years. Alongside assistant coach Erik Temple, it is my goal to build on that success and be one of the top soccer programs in Division III for years to come."
A local product from Aston, Hollenback was a standout player at Sun Valley High School. As a senior in 2004 he tallied a school-record 30 goals on his way to All-Delco, All-Southeastern Pa, and All-State honors. He continued his career at the collegiate level at Millersville University, where he would go on to captain the team in 2007.
