"After 22 years coaching in various roles at Webster University, I have decided to step down as Head Men's Soccer coach." Said Siener. "I would like to thank Tom Hart and Scott Kilgallon for giving me the opportunity to help lead and develop four different programs during my time.  I also want to thank Chris Bunch, Marty Todt, David Kaneshiro, and all my assistant coaches as well as the hundreds of players and their families that have put their faith in me to help coach and mentor their kids through college.  Webster has been a special place for me and my family and I appreciate everyone that has made this such an enjoyable experience. I am excited for the next chapter for me and my family and also what lies ahead for Webster University Soccer."

"I have reluctantly accepted Mike's resignation." Said Kilgallon. "Coach Siener has been a top notch professional and a pleasure to work with over the years. Through hard work and dedication, he leaves the men's soccer team in great shape and is to be credited for elevating the team to rankings at the regional level, consistent strong GPA's of his student-athletes, and sportsmanship recognitions. I would like to wish Mike, his wife Jackie, and their children good luck with his next opportunity."
