Ten years into his tenure as head coach at Messiah, Coach Brandt has put together as impressive a resume as you'll find in college soccer. Ten straight NCAA appearances, seven Regional titles, six Final Fours, and five National Championships have earned the Falcons widespread respect as one of the top soccer programs in the NCAA, regardless of division.
Following a 21-1-2 season in 2006, Brandt's 10-year record is 204-20-12, making him the winningest active men's college coach in the country. No men's soccer coach in any NCAA division has ever gotten 200 wins faster. The '06 Falcon edition won the National Championship for the fifth time in seven years and outscored their opponents in the NCAA Tournament 13-1. Coach Brandt lives in Grantham with his wife Diane, and daughter Alexandra (16) and son Danny (13).
