Bethel head coach Jeremy Iwaszkowiec (14th season) was selected MIAC Coach of the Year for the first time in his career after leading the Royals to a 6-4-0 record in conference play to secure the first home playoff match in program history. Bethel won 11 games overall in 2024 for the program’s highest win total in two decades and scored 43 total goals, the most by a Royals team since 1999. Iwaszkowiec is the third Bethel men’s soccer coach to be celebrated with the conference honor, joining Mark Leigh (1981, 1999) and Joel Johnson (2004).
