Bio

Roberto Gutierrez was the first UW-Oshkosh men’s soccer player to earn NCAA Division III All-America honors, collecting third team recognition in 1994 on the way to being named to the WIAC All-Centennial Men’s Soccer Team.

Gutierrez helped UW-Oshkosh compile a 61-11-5 record with three NCAA Division III Championship appearances from 1992-95. Gutierrez and the Titans advanced to the program’s first Final Four in 1994 in addition to national tournament visits in 1993 and 1995. A three-time All-Midwest Region selection, Gutierrez concluded his UW-Oshkosh career with 14 goals and 41 assists.

Gutierrez, a Milwaukee Thomas More High School graduate, led the Titans in assists during each of his four seasons, compiling nine in both 1992 and 1995, 10 in 1993 and 13 in 1994. He also notched a career-best six goals during his senior season in 1995.

The Titans compiled a 30-1-3 home record during Gutierrez’s four seasons. UW-Oshkosh produced at least 13 overall wins between 1992-95, including marks of 16-4 in 1993 and 18-0-3 in 1994. The Titans’ unbeaten 1994 campaign resulted in the second most wins in program history.

UW-Oshkosh made its second NCAA Division III Championship appearance in 1993, advancing to the quarterfinal round following its regional title in Wheaton, Ill. The Titans, who also appeared in the 1995 national tournament, reached the 1994 Final Four before falling in a shootout following a scoreless contest. UW-Oshkosh’s remarkable 1994 season featured 11 shutouts and just 14 goals allowed in 21 games as Gutierrez was selected to the All-Midwest Region first team and to the All-America Third Team.

Gutierrez, who graduated from UW-Oshkosh in 1997, works as an English as a second language (ESL) teacher and coordinator in the Walworth School District. Gutierrez attended UW-Milwaukee for graduate school, George Williams College of Aurora University (Ill.) for his master’s and UW-Whitewater for ESL certification.

Gutierrez lives in Franklin with his wife, Emily. Roberto and Emily are the parents of Joseph, Roberto Jr., Gabriel and Mariana.
