LTCC Coaching Staff
Jeremy Evans, Head Coach (7th season): The 2019 Northern
California Women’s Coach of the Year, four-time Golden Valley Conference
Coach of the Year, and a finalist for the 2019 and 2018 United Soccer
Coaches West Region and National Coach of the Year, Jeremy has established
LTCC as one of the nation’s elite two-year programs. In his seven years at the
helm of the women’s team (he took over the men’s program in 2019), he has a
career record of 86-26-17 (.728), including a 52-7-9 (.860) mark the past three
seasons. LTCC improved its win total in each of his first five years,
culminating in a 21-1-2 mark in 2019 that became the best overall season
winning percentage in program history. He has a 56-8 conference record
(.875) during his six seasons, including a 51-0 mark the past four seasons in which his teams have outscored
opponents 275-5.

In his five years, he has coached 42 all-conference players, 13 conference players of the year, 11 academic all-
state players, 7 United Soccer Coaches (USC) All-West Region players (five first-team selections), 6 United
Soccer Coaches Scholar All-Americans, 5 United Soccer Coaches All-Americans (all first-team selections), and
two players who have gone on to play professionally. His program’s sophomore transfer rate of 74 percent is
the highest among California two-year programs. His team didn’t lose a regular season between September of
2017and September of 2021.

His women’s teams over the past four years were ranked nationally at least once each year, including being
ranked in 27 consecutive national polls between 2017-2019. They were ranked in the top-ten nationally in 25 of
those polls and in the top-five nationally in 20 of those polls. In 2019, LTCC spent six weeks ranked No. 1 in
the nation, becoming only the fourth Northern California JC team to be ranked No. 1, and it was the first time
LTCC achieved a No. 1 ranking.

In 2021, the first season following the COVID pandemic that cancelled the 2020 season, LTCC finished 11-5-3
and won its fourth consecutive Golden Valley Conference championship. They spent one week ranked
nationally, and lost in the first round of the Northern California playoff to top-seeded San Joaquin Delta. The
Lady Coyotes earned a tie at No. 12 Fresno City, and finished the season on an eleven-game unbeaten streak.
Eight players were named to the all-conference team, and three players earned conference player of the year
awards.

In 2019 the Lady Coyotes began the season ranked No. 4 nationally, their highest preseason national ranking in
program history, never dropped out of the top-five nationally, and spent the final six weeks of the season ranked
No. 1 nationally. The 2019 team finished No. 5 in the nation after losing in the CCCAA semifinals, which
marked their second straight CCCAA Final Four appearance for the relatively new soccer program. LTCC went
21-2-2 that year, which was the highest win percentage (.916) in program history.

In 2018, he led the Lady Coyotes to the California Community College Athletic Association state championship
game and a final national ranking of No. 3 in the final United Soccer Coaches poll, and spent seven weeks at
No. 2 nationally, which at the time was the highest ranking in program history. His team was ranked nationally
every week the entire season. LTCC was crowned Golden Valley Conference champions for the second
consecutive season in 2018, outscoring opponents 67-1.

In 2017, he led the Coyotes to a then school-best 17-3-3 overall record (.804), a 12-0 record in conference, the
program’s first conference title in history, the program’s first national ranking, its first top-ten national ranking,
its best playoff seed in history (No. 3), and then recorded its first playoff win in program history.

In his second season with the program, he turned a 6-11-1 record in his first season to a then school-record 11
wins in 2016; he also set the then school’s record for single-season winning percentage (.650) mark with an 11-
5-4 record. His 2016 squad was also playoff-eligible as a No. 15 seed. He led the Coyotes to a school-record
eight conference wins, and also matched the program’s best conference finish at second with an 8-2-2 record.

In his first season in charge of the LTCC men’s soccer program in 2019, he led the Coyotes to a program-record
nine Golden Valley Conference wins, a second-place conference finish, and an 11-7-3 overall record. LTCC
spent two weeks in the national polls, starting the season ranked No. 14 and being ranked No. 17 the second
week. In 2021, he led the men’s team to a 10-8-3 record and a berth in the Northern California playoffs.

Prior to joining LTCC, Jeremy established himself as one of the top high school coaches in the area after
leading South Tahoe High School to back-to-back Nevada Division I-A state championships during the 2013
and 2014 seasons. He was a two-time Nevada State Coach of the Year and earned league coach of the year
honors in 2013. He compiled a 38-5-4 overall record (.810) and 28-1-3 league record (.880) during his two-year
reign at South Tahoe. His 2013 team was ranked among the top teams in NSCAA Region VI (CA, WA, OR,
UT, NV, NM, ID) and finished the season ranked No. 1 in Nevada (all classifications) by MaxPreps.com.
Jeremy also served as the former Director of Coaching for South Tahoe Futbol Club. He currently holds a USSF
License.

As a player, Jeremy played at NCAA Division I Marquette University after transferring from Phoenix College,
a nationally-ranked junior college program where he earned all-league honors as a sophomore. A former
member of Arizona-based Cisco and Tucson United club programs, he helped lead his teams to multiple
Arizona State Cup titles, a Nomads College Showcase title, and the Region IV semifinals. A member of the
Arizona ODP team and a Region IV ODP camp player, he also played semi-professionally in the Premier
Development League (PDL).

Jeremy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from Marquette University in 2000 and his Master of
Arts in Teaching from Sierra Nevada College in 2009. He's also the author of three books. He resides in South
Lake Tahoe with his wife, Isabelle, and their daughters, Olivia and Carmen.
