SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

In 2022, the YellowJackets finished the year 7-7-6 and advanced to the ASC Championship Tournament final for the first time since 1998. Van Holland and his staff earned ASC Coaching Staff of the Year, while junior Raul Torrez was named the league's Goalkeeper of the Year. The YellowJackets had five All-ASC selections. The YellowJackets needed to win their final three matches of the regular season in order to qualify for the conference tournament, and they did just that, besting Ozarks, Sul Ross State, and Howard Payne in a seven-day stretch to clinch the last postseason spot.


Once in the tournament, the YellowJackets advanced to the championship round for the first time since 1998, defeating No. 3 seed Hardin-Simmons and No. 2 seed Concordia in penalty shootouts in the first two rounds to reach the championship match.


PRIOR TO LETOURNEAU

Van Holland joined LeTourneau after a year as head coach at Dakota Wesleyan in Mitchell, South Dakota, where he began to establish a culture of hard work, success and dedication on and off the pitch. On a roster comprised of both youth and upper classmen, Van Holland mentored three members of the squad to All-Great Plains Athletic Conference honorable mention accolades following the 2021 campaign.


Prior to Dakota Wesleyan, he served as the top assistant coach at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga. In his four seasons with the Scots, he assisted head coach Scott Bosgraf for a team that had an overall record of 47-22-5 and a conference record of 31-9-2. In 2019, Covenant won the regular season USA South Athletic Conference West Division title. While in Georgia, Van Holland also operated as the head coach at Red Wolves Academy in Chattanooga, Tenn., working with the U11 and U10 teams developing players and encouraging movement within the club.


His first pair of coaching stints previously placed him at Chattanooga Christian School in Chattanooga, Tenn. where he served as the middle school boys head coach for one season in 2018. Following his graduation in 2015, the four-year player functioned as the director of the Whatcom FC Rangers (U12 to U19) from 2015-17 located in Bellingham, Wash.


A graduate of Dordt University, Van Holland was a three-time All-Grand Plains Athletic Conference performer on the pitch for the Defenders (2011-15).
