Now in his 23rd year on the Panther coaching staff, Saward has developed one of the most consistently successful soccer programs in New England. He has led the team to 19 post-season appearances in 22 years, including five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances ('94-'98). Saward has also guided the team to a pair of ECAC Championships in '86 and '99 and the inaugural NESCAC Championship in '00. He was named the New England Coach of the Year in 1985, 1986, 1996, and 1998. He also has more wins than any other coach in Middlebury soccer history with a career record of 233-81-34.
Saward completed his final season at the helm of the women's squash program in '05-'06. His '95 squad enjoyed its best season ever, winning flight "C" of the prestigious Howe Cup tournament held at Yale University. In '05, his squash team rose to the top once again, winning the Walker Cup. Saward is a three-time recipient of the Clarence C. Chaffee Award, given to "the coach whose team has demonstrated the qualities and court demeanor that characterized Clarence C. Chaffee."
Before joining the Middlebury staff in 1985, Saward was an assistant varsity and head junior varsity coach at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, for two years. He has also coached or directed several soccer schools and summer camps.
