Haverford College Director of Athletics Wendy Smith '87 announced that Shane Rineer has been appointed the interim head coach of the men’s soccer program. Rineer will assume his duties on Monday, July 25.
Last season, Rineer was an assistant coach at Amherst College. He was responsible for scouting, game plan development, training and film analysis for a Lord Jeffs team that was 13-2-4 and reached the third round of the NCAA Division III championship tournament.
Before joining the Amherst staff, Rineer was a two-year assistant coach for Division I Villanova University. As the leader of the team’s player development program, he helped the Wildcats earn their first ever Big East tournament home game in 2009. Rineer also had a hand in the program’s training, scouting, film breakdown and recruiting.
Rineer’s collegiate coaching career began with a two-year stint at Eastern University. In 2007, he helped lead the Eagles to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) title and an NCAA tournament appearance.
A 2006 graduate of Eastern with a degree in early childhood education, Rineer earned All-PAC honors in 2004 and 2005. He was a member of the 2003 and 2005 PAC championship teams that went to the NCAA tournament.
Kevin Weiler – Assistant Coach
Kevin Weiler enters his third season as an assistant coach with the Fords. Weiler has been instrumental within the program both on and off the field over the past year including a short term as interim head coach for the Fords during the transition between head coaches in the spring of 2009. Coach Brady credits much of the 2010 recruiting class to Weiler's diligence during this time frame. Returning to his role as assistant coach, Weiler's primary responsibilities for the Fords include assisting with training sessions and recruitment.
Prior to arriving at Haverford, Weiler enjoyed a very successful playing career at regional power Elizabethtown College. He was a standout four-year player and captain of the 2004 MAC championship team. Weiler was a four-year member of the conference all-academic team and academic all-region in 2004. He has been very active in the youth soccer scene, working many camps both locally and in his home state of Iowa.
Weiler is 28-years-old and resides in Bridgeport, Pa.
