Coach Hosler is ready to enter his third season with the Polars in 2026. Hosler had a strong inaugural season leading the Polars to 3rd place finish in the UMAC and a trip to the NCCAA DII National Tournament in 2024. Under his direction, the men's soccer program set records on and off the pitch. 

His second season in 2025 brought with it record numbers in recruitment and graduations. He brought in 14 new players while graduating 17 of them after making it to the UMAC playoffs once again. Coach Hosler is now building another record-breaking recruitment class for the 2026 season that will look to capitalize on recent success to build the Men's Soccer program into a regional contender.
