MILWAUKEE - Men's soccer head coach Louis Bennett has begun constructing his staff by announcing the hiring of Stan Anderson to join the Marquette soccer program.
Anderson and Bennett spent the last 10 years at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where the Panthers compiled a 136-63-17 record and five straight NCAA Tournament berths, including four consecutive appearances in the second round of the tournament.
At UWM, Anderson was responsible for the coaching of the Panthers' goalkeepers. Under his guidance, UWM led the Horizon League in goals against average for each of the last five seasons, posting 34 (plus this year) shutouts in that time.
He will continue to coach the goalkeepers at Marquette. Off the field, Anderson's duties will include recruiting, travel and community relations.
Anderson has ties to Bennett dating back to 1989 when the two played club soccer and coached at soccer camps together. He currently owns and operates Camp Shutout, based in metro Milwaukee and Chicago, one of the most attended goalkeeping camps in the nation.
He also is presently an Olympic Development Program staff head coach for the `87 Wisconsin State team. Anderson was also named one of the top 20 assistants in the nation by collegesoccernews.com.
From 1993-95, Anderson served as the boys assistant varsity coach at Fremd High School in Palatine, Ill., and helped lead the team to the state championship game in 1993. Prior to coaching at Fremd, he was an assistant coach for one season at Nicolet High School in Glendale, Wis. Anderson rewrote the record books at UW-Parkside, where he was named an All-American and selected to play in the Senior Bowl. His 14 shutouts in 1989 ranks second at the NCAA Division II level, and his 61 percent shutout percentage that season ranks sixth all-time.
In 1990, Anderson graduated from UWP with a marketing degree and then played one season of professional soccer. Born and raised in Palatine, Ill., Anderson resides in Racine, Wis., with his wife, Mary, and their sons, Anthoney Julius (7) and Michael Stanley (1).
