Coach John Trask has taken the UIC men’s soccer program to new heights in his four years with the Flames, using a proven formula for success that has helped every side he has ever been a part of maximize its potential. Under Trask, UIC has blossomed from a squad that posted just five wins in the year prior to his arrival, to a team that has made three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament, advanced to the 2007 national quarterfinals and finished the last two seasons ranked among the top 15 nationally.  Trask’s style of soccer has helped mentor four All-America honorees in the last three years and develop one of the nation’s stingiest defenses.  The attractive and entertaining style of soccer has resulted in an attendance increase of 600%.
