With only one Ivy League win under its belt in the past three seasons, the Penn men's soccer team has recruited a little coaching help. Penn announced yesterday the hiring of Robert Butehorn as the Quakers' new assistant coach. Butehorn comes to the Ivy League from the Atlantic 10, where he was the head coach of St. Bonaventure from 1995-1999. During his tenure, Butehorn rebuilt a struggling program to both a regional and national ranking. Four of his players went on to play professionally. Prior to his five-year stint with the Bonnies, Butehorn served as the assistant coach at Maryland, his alma mater. Butehorn is a member of both the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and the United States Soccer Federation. Butehorn assumed his position for the Red and Blue last Sunday and is already working with head coach Rudy Fuller and the Quakers in their spring training sessions.
