Head Coach J.B. Belzer became just the 16th head coach all time in NCAA Division II women's soccer history to earn 200 career victories. With the Rangers 1-0 victory over Mesa State in the first round of the RMAC Tournament in 2009, Belzer became the seventh fastest Division II coach to reach 200 victories.
He returned the Rangers to the promise land for the sixth time and second in a row in his 14 years at the helm of the Ranger Women's Soccer program in 2009. He guided the Rangers to a 14-5-4 record before falling to Colorado Mines in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In 2008 the Rangers registered a 17-7 record advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament and a #14 final national ranking. The Rangers had a two-year hiatus from NCAA tournament play after earning back-to-back berths in 2004 and 2005.
Hired prior to the 1996 campaign, Belzer is just the second head
coach in program history. During his first 14 seasons on the bench
with the Rangers, Belzer has amassed a 200-86-16 (.689) overall
record.
In his initial season in 1996, Belzer led Regis to a 15-5-3
overall record and proceeded to guide the Rangers to their second
appearance at the NCAA II Final Four. Belzer's teams have posted a
.500-or-better record in 13 of his 14 years at the helm.
Belzer has guided the Rangers to three regular season RMAC
championships and three RMAC Tournament championships. Along
the way he has amassed a 128-43-10 (.735) record in conference
matches which is the most by any RMAC coach during that span.
Belzer's teams have been very successful at home as well as on
the road. Each season Belzer has scheduled home games with
highly ranked opponents. In 2007, Regis hosted perennial
powers Barry (Fla.) University and Grand Valley State, which was
ranked second at the time. Despite the tough competition
Belzer's teams are 106-35-7 (.740) at home and 82-46-8 (.632) on
the road.
In 2001, Belzer guided the Rangers to one of the most successful
seasons in club history. In addition to setting a new single-season
record for victories (18-1-1 overall), the team finished the season
ranked #10 (NCAA II) in the country. Winners of the RMAC Tournament
during three of the past five seasons (2000-01, 2003), the Rangers
also hosted the NCAA II Midwest Region Championship Match in 2001.
Over the past four seasons, five Rangers have gone on to earn First
Team NCAA II All-American honors. The Rangers' 2004 appearance in
the Midwest Region Championship Match marked the fourth time in
program history that Regis had advanced into NCAA II post-season
competition.
A native of Edmond, Oklahoma, Belzer attended and played soccer at
the University of Tulsa for one season before transferring to
Oklahoma State University. While at OSU, Belzer served as the head
coach of the boy's soccer team at Stillwater High School. Upon
earning his Bachelor's Degree in Science Education from OSU in
1991, Belzer returned to Edmond Memorial High School, his alma
mater, to teach science and coach boy's soccer. During his three
years at EMHS, Belzer registered a 33-7-4 overall record and
captured the 1994 State Championship.
Belzer, who also served an assistant men's soccer coach at
Oklahoma Christian University in 1992, returned to the University
of Tulsa in 1994 as a graduate assistant for both the men's and
women's programs. In 1997, while coaching at Regis, Belzer
completed his MBA (Tulsa).
In addition to having coached a number of girl's club squads,
Belzer has also spent time with several boy's and girl's Olympic
Development Program (ODP) teams. On top of his coaching duties at
Regis, Belzer also serves on the NSCAA's NCAA II Women's Soccer
Committee. From 1998 to 2001, Belzer served as the Chair on the
NCAA II Midwest Regional Rankings Committee and was the National
Chair in 2001. Even more, Belzer holds both an NSCAA Premier
Diploma and a US Soccer National "A" License.
