Robert Morris University Athletics

1989-96

Kowalski posted an 88-66-9 (.567) record in eight years at Robert Morris before moving on to the head coaching position of the Tampa Bay Mutiny of Major League Soccer (1997-98) and then the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the A-League (1999-2000). He has come full circle, as he has coached the women’s soccer program at Robert Morris since 2001. Kowalski led the Colonial men’s program to four Northeast Conference regular-season championships and a pair of NCAA Tournaments (1993-94). The 1993 team was the first in Robert Morris history outside of men’s basketball to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Robert Morris ranked as high as 16th nationally (1995) in Division I under Kowalski, and he twice was named NEC Coach of the Year (1992, 1995).
