Former Panther Luke Oesterle Returning as Men’s Soccer Assistant Coach

ATLANTA – Former Georgia State men's soccer goalkeeper Luke Oesterle will be returning to the program as an assistant coach as announced by head coach Brett Surrency on Monday.

Oesterle, who currently serves as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Presbyterian College, was a member of the men's soccer team from 2013-17.

"We are excited to have Luke come back to Atlanta and re-join our program," Surrency said. "He's been able to have some excellent coaching experiences after his GSU playing days and I know that he will come in and be a great asset for the program."

"I am incredibly fortunate and thankful for the opportunity to return home and be a part of such a well-respected university and program," Oesterle said. "I want to thank the Georgia State men's soccer staff - Brett Surrency and Daniel Mohsen - for giving me the opportunity to work along side them. I look forward to developing these student athletes and helping each of them accomplish goals they have set for themselves and the Georgia state soccer program."
Oesterle helped guide Presbyterian College to a 7-6-3 record this past season, including a 3-3-2 mark in Big South Conference play.

Prior to arriving in Clinton, S.C., Oesterle spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Western Illinois. His primary responsibilities included working with the team's goalkeepers.

Oesterle continues to work as the goalkeeper coach for Peachtree City MOBA of the Professional Development League in Peachtree City, Ga., where he played for two summers from 2016-17. In the spring of 2018, he was an assistant coach at Lovett School in Atlanta.
 
The Newnan, Ga., native spent five seasons at Georgia State as a goalkeeper after redshirting his freshman year. While in school he served as an Atlanta/Fulton County "After School" soccer instructor from 2014-16.

While with the Panthers, Oesterle's career highlights included a shutout over Gardner-Webb in 2015 and making two saves during a shootout victory over Georgia Southern in the Sun Belt Conference semifinals that helped the team advance to the 2015 tournament finals.

Georgia State is coming off one of the most successful seasons in program history after earning an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament and picking up the program's first-ever win in the tournament.
