Kyle Quintell is in his second year as head coach of the Lakeland men’s soccer team in 2025.

The Muskies defeated Wisconsin-Stout in the programs’ first-ever meeting and also topped NACC rival Wisconsin Lutheran for just the second time in the teams’ last 13 meetings, and Lakeland was close to a much better record with seven games decided by a goal or less and a 2-4-1 mark in those games.
