Northern State University head soccer coach, Steve Kehm announced his resignation as following the conclusion of the 2018 season. Kehm has led the program since the inaugural season in 1998, posting a career record of 194-133-36.
In his 20 seasons with the program, Kehm and the Wolves soccer program have produced 57 all-conference performers, as well as 16 ADIDAS All-Region players, two NSCAA All-Region players and three NSIC MVP's. Kira Wannebo was named the first Northern State soccer All-American in 2007. She was also named the NSIC Defensive Player of the Year that season.
“Steve has put his heart and soul into this program over the past 20 years and we would like to extend a tremendous amount of gratitude and appreciation for his efforts on behalf of Wolves soccer and NSU,” explained Director of Athletics, Josh Moon. “This program is in an excellent position to take the next step, thanks to Steve’s hard work building a strong foundation. We wish Steve all the best in his future endeavors.”
In addition, the Wolves soccer program has seen success in the classroom with three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans® including Kristie Gordy (2001), Natalie Blodgett (2002), and Anna Bondy (2016). Northern was honored for 11 consecutive seasons with the ADIDAS/NSCAA team academic award.
In the summer of 2013, Kehm was named the chair of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America's NCAA Division II weekly rankings. As the Division II national chair, Kehm oversees eight regional rankings chairs, which are responsible for submitting a ranking of the top ten teams by record in their geographic region. Kehm is the Director of Coaching for the Olympic Development Program (ODP) in the Dakota's. He is also a member of the college soccer academy camp staff and holds several national coaching licenses and endorsements.
A national search for the next head women’s soccer coach will begin immediately.

South Dakota State punter Brady Hale has been named the Missouri Valley Football Conference special teams player of the week.
Hale averaged 42.6 yards on seven punts, booting a season-long 57-yarder and landing two attempts inside the 20-yard line, as the Jackrabbits dominated on special teams en route to a 36-7 Hobo Day victory over Youngstown State on Oct. 13. Hale also handled kickoff duties for the first time this season, recording touchbacks on three of his seven attempts.
This is the second time Hale has earned the honor this year.

For the second consecutive week, South Dakota senior safety Andrew Gray has been named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week. It is the third time in five weeks that a Coyote has earned the distinction.
Gray led South Dakota with 10 tackles and forced three turnovers – two fumbles and an interception – in leading the Coyotes to a 35-28 win against 24th-ranked Missouri State Saturday in Vermillion. On top of that, he broke up a pass on fourth down in Coyote territory that effectively ended the game.
The first fumble Gray forced came inside the Coyote 20, the interception set up a 49-yard touchdown drive that gave USD a 24-21 lead, and the second fumble set up a Coyote field goal that extended the lead to 27-21. In addition to the three turnovers, Gray was credited with three pass breakups.
South Dakota (3-2, 2-0 MVFC) is one of two unbeaten teams in Valley play thru two weeks. The Coyotes host UNI (2-3, 1-1) in a 6 p.m. kick Saturday inside the DakotaDome in Vermillion.
