Mike Kulas begins his first year as an assistant coach for Green Bay men's soccer. Kulas comes to Green Bay after one season as the head coach of Assumption College in Worcester, Mass. Prior to that appointment, Kulas was an assistant coach at University of Hartford and Assumption.

"I am excited to have Mike joining our staff," said head coach Tom Poitras following Kulas' hire. "He was a hard-working, driven and competitive player and he will bring those same traits to our program as a coach. I feel extremely fortunate to have him join our Phoenix soccer family. Mike will be a quality role model and will help continue to improve Green Bay soccer."

As a collegiate standout, Kulas shined as a defender under Poitras' watch at Southern New Hampshire. He aided the Penmen in posting a 38-12-8 record during his three seasons and was a two-time NCAA Division II tournament participant as a three-year starter. He was an integral part of the Penmen defense that tallied 32 shutouts during those three years and helped post two of the top 15 consecutive shutout minute streaks in Division II history. The team's 15 shutouts in 2000 is tied for 11th in NCAA records.

Kulas gained professional playing experience in 2002 as a member of the New Hampshire Phantoms, where the team placed fourth in the Northern Division.

The 26-year-old Kulas earned a degree in business administration from Southern New Hampshire in 2002.
