Moravian Hires New Men's Soccer Coach

BETHLEHEM, PA - Todd Ervin has been named the head coach of the Moravian College men’s soccer team, effective February 24th.

“We are excited to have coach Ervin join our staff as we move to have each of our soccer programs with a dedicated coach,” said Moravian College Director of Athletics Paul Moyer. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position. I am confident that Todd has the ability, knowledge and desire to build upon our strong men’s soccer tradition well into the future.”

Eric Lambinus, who has served as the head coach of both the Moravian men’s and women’s programs for the last ten seasons, is remaining on the Greyhound staff as the head women’s soccer coach. The soccer coaching position had been a combined staffing spot since 1995, the year after the women’s team became a varsity sport.

Ervin becomes just the seventh men's soccer coach at Moravian as the program is set to begin its 46th season in 2009. The Greyhounds have a 387-321-53 all-time record.

Ervin has most recently served as the head coach of the Pennsylvania Stoners of the National Premier Soccer League for the last two years. His 2008 Stoners team was the National Premier Soccer League National Champions with players from local Division I, II and III colleges as well as former professional players. Ervin has resigned his position with the Stoners since the NCAA does not permit coaches to coach their players in the off season, and Moravian usually has at least one player on the Stoners roster.

Ervin was an assistant with the Moravian men’s program for three seasons, from 2004 to 2006, and he was also the head coach for the Cedar Crest College women’s soccer team for the last two seasons.

Ervin has both his National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced Regional License and his NSCAA National Diploma having graduated with distinction. After graduating from Muhlenberg College as a three-time NSCAA Regional All-American in 1998, Ervin went on to play three seasons with the New Jersey Barons Professional Soccer team in the NPSL, and since 2001, has played in the Lehigh Valley Soccer League.

While a student-athlete at Muhlenberg, Ervin helped the Mules to the NCAA Division III National Tournament each of his four seasons with a trip to the Final Four in 1995. The squad also won three Centennial Conference Championships, and Ervin was a three-time All-Centennial Conference honoree.
