Sandy, UTAH — Former Utah Valley men's soccer head coach Greg Maas has been inducted into the Utah Soccer Hall of Fame, the Utah Adult Soccer Association announced in a release on Friday.
Maas helped build the Utah Valley men's soccer program from the ground up, as he was named the team's head coach in 2013 before the inaugural 2014 season. Maas turned the program into an immediate competitor in the WAC, earning an NCAA at-large berth in the team's second season in 2015 and claiming the WAC regular season championship in 2016.
Maas finished his tenure at UVU with a 67-44-10 record, and was named the 2016 WAC Coach of the Year. At Utah Valley, he produced 12 All-Region, 20 All-WAC, two Scholar All-Americans, 11 Academic All-District, two Academic All-Americans and one All-American. The 2019 team produced the program's first WAC Player of the Year award when Blake Frischknecht received the offensive honor.
Maas also saw his program garner tremendous academic success under his leadership, with Utah Valley receiving the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award in every season of its existence. The program also garnered two CoSIDA Academic All-America winners in Paul Hoffmeister (2016) and Zach Maas (2019).
He also had two student-athletes win the WAC's prestigious annual honors. Hoffmeister was the Joe Kearney Award winner, honoring the top overall male athlete in the WAC in 2016-17. Alec Felix received the Stan Bates Award for the top male student-athlete in the WAC in 2019-20.
