Through the 2022-23 season, the men's program has collected four all-conference honors and 12 NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors under Odorisio's direction.


Odorisio came to Doane from Iowa Wesleyan University, where he was head coach from 2016-2021 and posted a 38-69-10 record. Prior to coaching at Iowa Wesleyan, Odorisio took his first head coaching position at Central Community College in Columbus in 2015. He had served as an assistant coach at Bellevue University in 2009 and from 2012-15 when the Bruins qualified for a pair of NAIA National Tournaments.

In his final three seasons, the team posted three Top Four finishes in the conference.


A member of four NCAA Division I national qualifying teams at Creighton, Odorisio experienced success at the highest level in collegiate soccer. The Bluejays advanced to the Elite Eight twice as well as a Sweet Sixteen appearance during his four seasons. A two-time Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) All-Conference selection in the midfield, he also earned MVC All-Freshman Team honors.
