Former Trojan Voldrich Joins Soccer Staff

08.31.2009

Taylor University men's soccer coach, Gary Ross, has announced the return of Joe Voldrich to the soccer program. The Columbus, Ohio native played four years under Ross and now returns to the sideline as an assistant coach.

The former Trojan defender earned All-Conference honors as a junior.

"Joe was an outstanding competitor for us as a player," Ross said. "I haven't coached a player who was more willing to go all out on the field. I look forward to watching how that work ethic translates into his coaching. He will be working with our goal keepers and it's been exciting to see already how they have responded to him and his coaching."

While a member of the Trojans soccer program, Voldrich participated in missions trips to Ireland and helped run soccer camps for Upland youth and high school teams.

Voldrich graduated in May 2009 with a degree in History and hopes to pursue a career in the education field.
