University of Mary Athletics

Levi Evans is among the most decorated players in the history of the University of Mary men’s soccer team, earning All-American recognition and leading the Marauders to one of the program’s best-ever three-year stretches.
 
A native of Gillette, WY, Evans played his first season with the Marauders in 1997 and helped the Marauders post the program’s second winning season in 1998. With Evans keying a strong defense, UMary finished 13-4-1 with a .750 winning percentage that is second best in school history. One year later the Marauders cracked the national polls for the first time, rising as high as 19^th in the country as Evans earned 1^st team NAIA All-Region honors. Building on a reputation as a hard-nosed and tenacious defender, Evans was named team captain and again received All-Region honors in 2000 – one of just two Marauders to earn this honor twice - while adding honorable mention All-American honors as UMary won 11 games and posted a third straight winning season. He was also the team’s most valuable player. In his career he played in 68 games, starting 64, both totals high on the school leader board.
 
Also known for his work as head coach of the UMary women’s program that won two Northern Sun tournament championships, advanced to the 2004 NAIA national tournament and was the first Marauders team in any sport to compete in an NCAA champion tournament, Evans compiled a record of 86-64-18 in eight seasons (2004-11).
 
Evans, a resident of Bozeman, MT, graduated from the University of Mary in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science degree in computer information systems and a pair of graduate degrees, a Master of Management 2007 and an MBA in 2008.
