2012 Concordia University Soccer Game Notes

HEAD COACH STEVEN BELLIS - 2nd season - 10-15-1 overall, 8-10-1 NSIC

Steve Bellis was hired as head women’s soccer coach at Concordia University on February 4, 2011. He joins the Golden Bear sidelines after five seasons as head coach of St. Catherine University women’s soccer.

In his first season with Concordia, the Golden Bears went 6-10 overall and 5-7 in conference play, finishing just a win out of sixth and four points (a win and a tie) out of fourth place in a closely contested NSIC slate. The team earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award under Bellis in his first year as well.

Bellis brings 15-plus years of soccer coaching experience to Concordia University, with a strong passion for the game of soccer and a commitment to a well-rounded student-athlete experience.

His previous three seasons at St. Kate’s included the Wildcats earning the NSCAA Team Academic Award, while he guided the team to one of their most successful campaigns on the field in school history. The 2008 Wildcats posted a 9-7-2 overall finish which included a program record four MIAC victories.

He was no stranger to success coaching in the MIAC prior to his St. Kate’s days, as he was an assistant coach for Macalester College, helping them reach two consecutive NCAA Division III National Championship contests, winning the 1998 National Championship before finishing as 1999 National Runner-Up. In addition to his assistant coaching duties at Macalester from 1998-2004, Bellis was head coach of the Junior Varsity squad for the Scots.

His strong recruitment efforts, based on his connections with Minnesota Thunder Academy (2008-10), Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (2000-present) and Coerver Coaching (2000-present) helped him solidify a Junior Varsity program at St. Kate’s in his tenure as well.

Between his MIAC stints with Macalester and St. Kate’s, Bellis coaches the Wings Soccer Club as full time director of coaching and player development from 1998-2007 and was head girls varsity soccer coach at Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield, Minn.

Bellis is a native of Manchester, England and earned a bachelor of arts (BA) in applied sport studies and social science from Lancaster University in Lancaster, U.K.

His breakthrough in coaching came after receiving his degree when he worked as a Center of Excellence U13 Coach for Manchester United Football Club from 1995 to 1998. There, he coached players who would later move on to professional experience with Manchester United.

He holds the UEFA B coaching license, the NSCAA Advanced National, the USSF B and National Youth coaching licenses. He is a member of the NSCAA and the English FA coaching association.

He played from 1992 to 1998 for Chorley AFC in Lancashire, U.K.

Steve and his wife, Sarah, reside in Minneapolis with their daughters, Pippa and Ruby.

COACH’S CORNER

Each week Coach Bellis will offer his insights on the upcoming schedule and the progress of the team.

Q: You had two one-goal losses this past weekend, what prevented the team from being on the winning side of those games?A: Just a little luck on Sunday - it’s a cruel loss having played well for most of the game. Our inability to play with direct teams was the No. 1 factor, we have learned from that and will do better in similar situations in the future.

Q: What adjustments are being made in practice to game plan for Wayne State and Augustana?A: Being much more clinical with our easy chances inside the six-yard box. Working harder on set pieces also.

Q: Currently in ninth place in the NSIC, how important is it to pick up points at home this weekend? A: It’s a big weekend and we know that a couple of good performances will get us back on track.

Q: Wayne State has just one win this season, how do you keep the team focused to not look past anyone? A: I think we know that we have no easy games in the NSIC - our attitude and approach will be good.

Q: We are now over halfway through the season, what have been the strengths of the team to this point and what do you want to see in the back end of the schedule?A: We have good technical players and a good tactical understanding as a whole. We have some players who can make the difference in one-on-one situations. Our character is good and we know that we have enough quality to make the next eight games count. The NSIC is a battle and we have now found some fighting spirit to battle for everything.
