Grinnell College Men's Soccer

Coach Jaworski  has served as coach of the Pioneer men's soccer team since 2004. The 2009 Pioneer squad won the Midwest Conference Tournament title and earned the schools first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance as Jaworski was voted MWC Coach of the Year. Jaworski has helped build the Pioneer program into a consistent winner. After his first two teams went 10-19-2 overall and 5-13 in Midwest Conference play, Grinnell has posted a combined overall mark of 67-61-12 and league record of 45-22-7 in the past eight seasons. The Pioneers have posted winning records six of the last eight years and qualified for the MWC Tournament six times in that span. Under his guidance, Grinnell also boasted its first-ever MWC Player of the Year in 2010, Mark Rosenberg. Overall, Jaworski has developed six All-Region selections while at Grinnell and 10 Academic All-Region selections. Jaworskis 2014 team was one for the history books. Grinnell emerged as the NCAA Division III national leader in three categories. Isaiah Tyree led the nation in goals against average at 0.218 and save percentage at .959, while the Pioneers were also tops in team save percentage with a mark of .916.   Grinnell also tied or set five MWC records in 2014, including Tyree in goals against average and save percentage. The Pioneers established new league marks in goals allowed with eight and team goals against average at 0.44, with the latter mark ranking fourth nationally. Grinnell tied the MWC record for shutouts in a season with 11. Jaworski arrived at Grinnell in August of 2004, following a long and successful career as an assistant coach at DePauw University that spanned from 1991-2003. During his tenure as an assistant coach, the Tigers went 167-58-12 (.704) and made four NCAA Tournament appearances. In May 2003, Jaworski was named Aflac National Assistant Coach of the Year in recognition of his hard-work and dedication to the DePauw University men's soccer program. The award is based on a coach's longevity and expertise, as well as contributions to the school and community, and special achievements throughout their careers. In addition to his work with the men's soccer program at DePauw, he also was an assistant coach for the DePauw women's soccer team that advanced to the NCAA Final Four in 2003. Jaworski was a standout soccer player for the DePauw men's team from 1984-1988, and he became the first player in the school's history to earn all-America honors in men's soccer, earning the distinction in 1988. He currently ranks seventh all-time in career goals scored with 31, and is eighth all-time in career points with 75. Jaworski, a 1989 graduate of DePauw, was inducted into the DePauw Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002. As a head coach, Jaworski has coached two separate club teams to Indiana state championships. In 2002, his under-17 Dynamo FC Indianapolis club team claimed the state championship, and in 2000 his under-18 Dynamo FC Indianapolis squad won the team title. In 2004, Jaworski guided his Carmel United under-18 club to the final four of the Indiana state championship, where his team lost to the eventual state champion. He and his wife Leslie (a staff member of the Colleges psychology department), with the assistance of College coaches Tim Hollibaugh and Andy Hamilton, began the Grinnell Sports Camp in 2005. The camp allows participants to learn fundamentals and participate in drills in a variety of sports while also learning the values of sportsmanship and enjoyment of several activities. Jaworski resides in Grinnell with his wife and they have three children: Ann Marie (25) is a former three-year captain of the Boston University Women's Soccer Team, a former member of the U-19 US Women's National team, and now Head Soccer Coach at Simmons University in downtown Boston.  John (23) attends Sacred Heart University and play Division I hockey.  Calvin (19) is a second-year football player (free safety) at the University of Northern Iowa.
