John Schwien joined the Bucknell men's soccer coaching staff in the spring of 2022 after two seasons as the lead assistant coach at IUPUI in the Horizon League. Prior to his stint with the Jaguars, Schwien worked for former Bucknell assistant Pat Long at Lock Haven, and he was part of the Bald Eagles’ 2018 team that won an ECAC championship.

Schwien was a talented collegiate player himself, earning two All-America citations at Division II Cedarville University in Ohio. He was a three-time All-Great Midwest Athletic Conference selection, a two-time First Team OCSA All-Ohio Division II selection, and a multiple All-Midwest Region selection. He was also named to the All-GMAC Academic Team three times, was a two-time OCSA All-Ohio DII Academic Team pick, and a three-time NCCAA Scholar-Athlete. He was a Dean's List student and earned his degree in business management with a focus in human resources.

Along with semi-professional playing experience with the Crew’s U23 team, Dayton Dutch Lions, and Buxmont Torch FC, Schwien also has an extensive coaching background at the elite club level, where he has coached with the Dayton Dutch Lions and Penn Fusion Soccer Academy.

“John is someone I've known since the recruiting process during his youth days at Penn Fusion,” said Dave Brandt. “He was an exceptional player, but also an exceptional person who has become a very bright and promising young coach. His D1 experience, both administratively and from a recruiting standpoint, is invaluable to me as a head coach early in my tenure at Bucknell."
