Coach Lyngholm’s comments: “For the past six years, I’ve had the chance to know Josh as a soccer player at BLC, a coach for the St. Peter Soccer Program and as a student in my Communication classes. He is personable, passionate and lives and breathes soccer. I couldn’t be happier that he’ll be working with us this fall.”
