CHICKASHA, Okla. – On Thursday, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma announced the promotion of Tony Orsi to Associate Head Coach of the men's soccer team. Orsi has been on the USAO coaching staff since 2007 and has helped lead the men's soccer team to an incredible win-loss record of 229-94-18 (.672).

He has also served as the head coach of the men's soccer reserve team, and he led the Drovers to the first ever SAC Championship for men's soccer reserve teams. 

In addition to his experience at USAO, Orsi was the assistant coach for Oklahoma City FC (PDL/NPSL | 2012-13) and assistant coach for the Oklahoma Alliance FC (WPSL | 2008-11).

When asked about the promotion Orsi said, "I am very excited to take on this new role. USAO Men's Soccer is a special program and I'm grateful to be a part of it. As I start my 18th season working with Coach Hampton and the Drovers, I'm as excited as I was in my first season.  I would like to thank President Hale, Athletic Director Mike Ross, and Coach Hampton for their continued support."
