HEAD COACH
EDINBORO -- Tim Flynn (Penn State '86) is in his 21st season as the helm of the Fighting Scots. He has elevated the Edinboro program to one of the best in the country, compiling a 221-95-5 record. Edinboro has had 14 top-20 finishes and five in the top ten at the NCAA Division I National Championships during his tenure. That includes the two best finishes in school history in 2014 and 2015. The Fighting Scots made the podium for the first time at Nationals with a third place showing three years ago, and in 2014 they were fifth. He has produced three national champions and 38 All-Americans. All told, Flynn has been named the EWL Coach of the Year seven times and the PSAC Coach of the Year 14 times. Four years ago, Flynn captured nearly every Coach of the Year award, including being named the NWCA NCAA Division I Coach of the Year, WIN's Dan Gable Coach of the Year, and was InterMat's Co-Coach of the Year along with Minnesota's J Robinson. Flynn was inducted into the Edinboro Athletic Hall of Fame in October.
