Head Coach - Carl Hutter

Carl Hutter is entering his 14th season in 2007 as head coach of the Lindenwood men's soccer team.

Last season, Hutter earned his 200th win at Lindenwood and his 300th career victory.  His 200th Lion victory came in a 1-0 shutout over Milligan. His 300th career was also a shutout in a 4-0 victory over Avila.

Hutter has a record of 208-71-15 (.733) while at Lindenwood, and he has a career mark of 303-153-43 (.650). The Lions have had a winning season every year under Hutter, and have also advanced to the postseason playoffs each season.

Since 2000, the Lions men's soccer team has advanced to the NAIA National Tournament five times. In four of those appearances, Lindenwood advanced to at least the NAIA quarterfinals.

In 2004, Hutter led Lindenwood to its first NAIA National Championship in men's soccer. The Lions entered the tournament as the three-seed and rode a strong defense to the crown. Lindenwood allowed just one goal in four games, and captured the title with a 1-0 victory over Auburn Montgomery. Hutter was named National Coach of the Year after that season.

Hutter has also led his squads to five conference championships, with one coming in the American Midwest Conference and the other four in the very competitive Heart of American Athletic Conference which Lindenwood now belongs to.

After a successful playing career, Hutter became an assistant coach at Harris-Stowe in 1982 and from 1983-87 he served as its head coach. From 1988-1993, he coached at Missouri Valley, before ending up at Lindenwood.
