Kevin Stoll enters his ninth season as an assistant coach at Saint Louis University in 2026 after helping guide the Billikens back to the national stage with a return to the NCAA Men's College Cup in 2025.
A St. Louis native and former player under head coach Kevin Kalish, Stoll joined the Billikens' staff in July 2018 and has played a key role in restoring Saint Louis to national prominence. Since his arrival, the Billikens have made four NCAA Championship appearances in the last five seasons, captured three Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season titles and three A-10 tournament championships, and reestablished themselves among the nation's elite programs.
Widely regarded as one of the top recruiters in college soccer, Stoll has been instrumental in identifying, attracting and developing the talent that has fueled Saint Louis' resurgence. The Billikens' roster has consistently featured some of the nation's top players, helping the program reach the NCAA Men's College Cup in 2025 for the first time since 1997 and produce one of the most successful eras in school history.
Stoll helped recruit Billikens who have been selected in the MLS SuperDraft, including five first-round picks: Max Floriani, Isaiah Parker, Kipp Keller, Patrick Schulte and Simon Becher. Numerous additional players have signed professional contracts in Major League Soccer and leagues around the world.
The 2025 season marked another milestone in the program's resurgence. Saint Louis finished 13-3-8, captured both the Atlantic 10 regular-season and tournament championships, and advanced to the NCAA Men's College Cup. The Billikens concluded the season ranked No. 4 in the final United Soccer Coaches poll after making the program's NCAA-record 52nd NCAA Tournament appearance.
Stoll also helped orchestrate one of the finest seasons in program history in 2021. The Billikens went undefeated during the regular season for the first time in 50 years, posted a 16-1-4 overall record and became the first Atlantic 10 team since 1993 to complete conference play with a perfect record. Saint Louis captured both A-10 championships and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals, its deepest NCAA Tournament run in nearly two decades.
Before joining the Billikens, Stoll served as director of scouting and recruitment for Saint Louis FC and as head coach of the club's U-19 Academy team. In that role, he identified and recruited top talent from across the country while leading the academy's highest-level squad. He also served as head coach of Saint Louis FC's U-23 team in the Premier Development League and spent time as an assistant coach with the club's first team during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
A standout player at University of Illinois Chicago and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Stoll played his senior season under Kalish and served as team captain. He graduated from SIUE in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in mass communications.
