Capital University

Dwight Burgess, a native of Falls Church, Virginia, served Capital's soccer programs for 10 years from 2000 until 2010. During that time period, Burgess oversaw the men's program for a full 10 seasons, while managing the women's program for eight years. At the helm of the men's program, Burgess led the program to the 2007 and 2008 OAC Regular Season Championships, while also guiding the team to the 2009 OAC Tournament Championship. The 2009 team also qualified for the NCAA Tournament – their first postseason appearance in program history.  He was named as the NSCAA Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year and the OSCA Division III Coach of the Year in 2007. In the OAC, Dwight was named the conference's Coach of the Year in 2005 and again in 2009. 

For the women's program, Burgess guided the team to the 2004 OAC Regular Season Championship, and the 2006 and 2007 OAC Tournament Championships. The '06 and '07 teams also garnered NCAA Tournament qualification under Dwight's leadership. Burgess was named the OAC women's soccer Coach of the Year in 2006. Combined between the men's and women's programs, Burgess stacked up a career record at Capital of 186-145-33, including an 87-63-12 OAC record. 

Off the field, Dwight spent 24 seasons (1996-2020) serving as the color commentator for Columbus Crew television broadcasts. Currently, he resides in Powell, Ohio with his wife Julie, and he credits the support of the entire Capital community as helping him to get to where he is today, under the mantra of "It takes a village." Today, Dwight coaches the men's soccer program at Wittenberg University.
