IU Associate Head Coach Brian Maisonneuve was named a top assistant coach in the country by College Soccer News, the publication announced Tuesday.
Maisonneuve was one of 12 coaches to receive the award. He was also named the Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in December.
This is the second consecutive honor for Maisonneuve by College Soccer News. He will enter his seventh season with the Hoosiers this fall.
In 2015, IU appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the 29th consecutive season, falling in the third round as the No. 16 seed. The Hoosiers finished with a 13-5-3 record and No. 16 national ranking in the Coaches Poll.
This year’s six-player recruiting class features the National High School Player of the Year defender AJ Palazzolo. IU Coach Todd Yeagley signed three defenders to his 2016 class.
The Hoosiers are already in the middle of their 2016 spring season. IU will next play SIU-Edwardsville on April 2 at home before facing in-state rivals Notre Dame and Butler.
