Kevin White

Kevin White enters his third season at the helm after he was named the seventh head coach in the history of Gents soccer in July of 2021.

The Gents finished 2-9-6 overall and 1-6-1 in SCAC play in 2022 and the highlight of the season was the Maroon and White landing a record-setting four players on the 2022 All-SCAC Men's Soccer Team. The four all-conference selections are the Gents' most since joining the SCAC prior to the 2012 season as the previous mark was three in 2020.

Senior MF Jaron Petreas (Denton, Texas), senior GK Sami Borchalli (Lafayette, La.), freshman F Aaron Myers (Plano, Texas) and freshman D Mackenzie Soul (Shreveport, La.) earned spots on the team as Petreas was named to the Second Team, Borchalli earned Honorable-Mention honors and Soul and Myers each earned spots on the All-Freshman Team.

Myers, Soul, and sophomore F Dylan Allred (Lafayette, La.) are the only players to be named to the SCAC All-Freshman Team in program history. Centenary placed at least two players on the All-SCAC team for the sixth time.

Despite the Gents’ struggles in 2022, the defense recorded four shutouts and held the opposition to two goals or less eight times during the season. Centenary also recorded a division III era (2011-present) record six ties.

White led the Gents to a 6-11-1 overall record and a 2-6 mark in conference play in his first season. He spent the last eight years as the men's assistant coach at the University of Texas at Dallas, a fellow division III member. In his time at UT-Dallas, White helped lead the Comets to four American Southwest Conference regular season championships, three ASC tournament titles, and four NCAA tournament appearances. UT-Dallas was 100-29-12 and 56-8-12 in conference play in that span.

The Gents scored a season-high six goals in a win over Dallas on Oct. 31 in their regular-season finale this past season, as they scored the most goals in a match since scoring four at home on March 13, 2021 in a 4-2 win over Austin College. The Gents finished the 2021 season by outscoring the opposition 10-3 over their last three matches, and they allowed one goal or less in a match 11 times during the season.

Centenary landed two players on the 2021 All-SCAC Men's Soccer Team as Petreas and Allred represented the Gents on the prestigious squad. Petreas was named Honorable-Mention while Allred earned a spot on the All-Freshman team. Centenary placed at least two players on the All-SCAC team for the fifth time.

White has previously served as a Staff Coach for both the North Texas State Soccer Association (2009-15) and the North Texas Celtic Futbol Club (2010-17). White also played for UT-Dallas from 2005-08 and was a two-time (2007 & 2008) ASC Offensive Player of the Year and made the NSCAA All-Region squad both years. White was a 2014 UTD Hall of Honor inductee. Following his super collegiate career, he played for the DFW Tornados, a Premier Development League, from 2007-10.
