A Decade Of Dombrowski's For UWM Men's Soccer

May 1, 2008

What started innocently enough in August of 1997 has taken on a life of its own for the Dombrowski family and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's soccer program.


Fast-forward 10 years: Five soccer-playing brothers from the same West Allis family have left a large and lasting imprint on the UWM program. Each is an accomplished four-year letterwinner in his own right and at least one of the Dombrowski's - Scott (1997-2000), Chad (1999-2002), Tighe (2000-03), Neil (2002-05) and Zeke (2004-07) have been on the field for the Panthers since the start of the 1997 season. They have helped Milwaukee to a record of 136-80-19 and a league record of 56-15-7. The list of accomplishments also includes five regular season titles, five league tournament crowns and five trips to the NCAA Tournament.


UWM head coach Jon Coleman has been there for all of it, starting as an assistant coach with the program in 1997 up until the 2007 campaign which was his second has the head coach of the Panthers. He considers it a great story and is glad to have been part of it all.
