Maryville University of Saint Louis Men's Soccer

Maryville University announced Adam Hall as the 10th head men's soccer coach in program history Feb. 7, 2024. He comes to St. Louis after spending the last eight seasons as the head coach at the University of Illinois Springfield.   Hall, in his first season at the helm of the Saints soccer team, rallied in Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) action, going 9-2-3 against GLVC foes to earn the No. 2 seed in the GLVC tournament, where the Saints advanced all the way to the championship finals. Hall proceeded to lead the Saints to their fifth straight GLVC berth and hosting duties for a game in the NCAA tournament.   After being hired in 2016, Hall led the Prairie Stars to the first GLVC Tournament appearance and first NCAA Regional ranking in program history in 2017, led UIS to three NCAA Tournaments, and all four GLVC Tournament appearances in the history of the school.   Prior to his time at UIS, Hall spent two seasons as the head coach at Saint Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Ind. He transformed the soccer program that had only won three games in three years and saw a first-year record of 9-6-1. The program qualified for the GLVC Tournament for the first time in 20 years and eventually was ranked as high as No. 7 in the NCAA Regional rankings.   Before becoming a head coach at the NCAA Division II level, Hall turned around NJCAA program Ancilla College. He guided the school to the Michigan Community College Athletic Association Championship in his first season in 2013 and a 2014 Region XII runner-up finish. Hall helped the program break numerous records on the field and academically. In total, he has accumulated a college career coaching record of 100-65-21 over 10 seasons.   Hall's start in coaching came as the U15 Junior Irish Soccer Club Head Coach where he was eventually promoted to the club's U13-15 Technical Director. He successfully promoted his team in three consecutive seasons to the ISL Premier League.   Hall earned his Master of Arts in teaching in 2010 from Delaware State University and a Bachelor of Science in sports management from Martin Methodist College in 2007.

Maryville University men's soccer hired Roosevelt Peters as the program's new assistant coach for the 2024 season. He comes to Maryville University after spending the last three seasons as an assistant men's soccer coach at Oklahoma Wesleyan University of the NAIA.   Peters is originally from Abuja, Nigeria, where he represented the National team at the U13 and U15 levels in international competitions. He also attended the Pre-Olympic Camp for Nigeria.   He is coming off a 2023 campaign where he assisted OKWU in winning both the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Regular Season and Tournament Championships. The program posted an overall record of 17-2-5 and appeared in the NAIA National Tournament semifinals. Additionally, he and the entire staff were awarded the NAIA Men's Central Staff of the Year.   In three seasons with the Eagles, Peters helped them to three conference regular season championships, three conference tournament championships, and three NAIA National Tournament appearances while being ranked in the NAIA's Top 25 in all three campaigns.   Before his time at Oklahoma Wesleyan, Peters was named the youngest head coach in NAIA history at Bacone College in Muskogee, Okla. He spent two seasons as the men's and women's head coach and led a rebuilding process for a program that had only one player on the men's team and four on the women's squad. Within a year, the men at Bacone had 26 players and the women grew to 16 players. Both programs achieved their first wins in over two years after hiring Peters.   He sharpened his coaching by participating in the UPSL Division 2 with Side FC 92 in the summer of 2020, while also serving as head coach for Muskogee Soccer Club U19 (currently the WSA South 02 boys). Peters helped guide the team to a runner-up in the second division of the Oklahoma Premier Championship.   Peters also coached the 2010 boys at Northeast Oklahoma Futball Club (NEOFC) Owasso in 2021.

He also served as an adjunct coach at various high schools in Oklahoma, including Bartlesville Girls, Oologah Boys, Oologah Girls, and Edison Preparatory Girls.   Peters earned his MBA in Organizational Leadership in 2023 from Oklahoma Wesleyan University and a bachelor of science in Business Administration from Bacone College in 2019. He also holds a USSF C National Coaching License and will be pursuing his B shortly.   Peters is the son of James Peters, a renowned FIFA and CAF Coaching Accessor and Instructor who has coached at the highest level with the Nigerian National teams.
