Austin Kelsey will focus his work with the Lycoming College men's soccer team on goalkeepers in his fourth campaign with the team in 2020.
A four-year starter for Susquehanna University, Kelsey’s career coincided with the renaissance of the program, as the team earned its first postseason berth in his freshman year of 2003. By his senior year, Kelsey was the starting keeper on a team that won 10 games and hosted a conference title game for the first time in program history. He finished second in the conference with a .819 save percentage and 5.20 saves per game that season.
Throughout his four years with the Crusaders, Kelsey posted a 24-19-2 overall record and pitched 17 shutouts.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Susquehanna in 2007, Kelsey taught math at Shenandoah Valley and Benton High School before beginning a five-year tenure at Warrior Run, where he spent his last two years as the boys’ soccer coach. He turned around a program that went 2-15-1 in his first year as it went 11-8 and earned a spot in the District 4 Tournament in 2015, earning him the Heartland Athletic Conference’s Division 2 Coach of the Year award.
Kelsey is a math teacher at Sullivan County High School. He resides in Bloomsburg with wife, Brittney, and his three children, Alexander, Brianna and Andrew.
