Bio

Greg Henschel helped elevate the UW-Oshkosh men's soccer program to national prominence during his four seasons as a Titan from 1991-94.

Henschel earned a pair of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III All-Midwest Region awards from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America as UW-Oshkosh compiled a 61-11-7 record while competing in three postseason tournaments and advancing to one Final Four.

The Brookfield East High School graduate was a major contributor during his first season at UW-Oshkosh by totaling six goals and eight assists. The Titans tallied a 14-2-3 record in 1991 and advanced to the second round of their first Division III postseason appearance.

Henschel led UW-Oshkosh with 10 goals and 27 points during a 1992 season that featured the Titans posting a 13-3-1 record. The following year he collected All-Midwest Region First Team honors after pacing the Titans with 46 points, 18 goals and 10 assists. UW-Oshkosh registered a 16-4 record in 1993 while advancing to the quarterfinal round of the Division III Championship.

The 1994 season was record breaking for both Henschel and UW-Oshkosh. Individually, Henschel picked up his second straight All-Midwest Region First Team award by establishing school records with his 21 goals and 50 points. As a team, the Titans etched an unbeaten 18-0-3 record while making their first trip to the Final Four.

Henschel concluded his career as UW-Oshkosh's leader in goals (55), points (143) and matches played (73). He ranks second on the Titans' all-time career list in both goals and points.

Henschel graduated from UW-Oshkosh in 1996 and went on to play minor league professional soccer for the Rockford Raptors and the Tallahassee Scorpions. He returned to the UW-Oshkosh campus in 1998 to serve as the Titans' assistant men's soccer coach.

In 1999, Henschel was hired to lead the men's soccer team at UW-Whitewater, and in 2000 was put in charge of both the men's and women's programs at the school until 2011. He guided the UW-Whitewater men to 164 wins and 11 Division III postseason appearances and the Warhawk women to 126 victories and one Division III tournament.

Henschel served as the head women's soccer coach at UW-Milwaukee from 2012-14 and led the Panthers to a pair of Horizon League Championships and two Division I postseason appearances.

Henschel was selected to the WIAC's All-Centennial Men's Soccer Team in 2012. Henschel and his wife, Jean, a former UW-Oshkosh women's volleyball player, live in Charlotte, N.C., with their daughters Eliana and Adilyn. Henschel is currently the Director of Coaching at the Charlotte Soccer Academy.
