Bill Bahr is the Head Coach at Olivet Nazarene and is one of the few to record more wins than CU Head Coach Randy Strawser, going 292-148-32 all-time in his 23-year career. In 2021, ONU has just not found their stride offensively, scoring two goals in four games. Defensively, the Tigers have been relatively strong just giving up eight goals.
