After having an integral role in helping the Purple Aces to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1996 in 2024, Orry Killam enters his third season with the University of Evansville men’s soccer program in 2026. Serving as the program’s graduate assistant, Killam’s responsibilities include coaching the goalkeepers and helping with travel operations.
In 2024, Killam helped freshman Michal Mroz land on the MVC All-Freshman Team and lead the Aces to the MVC Tournament title. Under Killam’s guidance, Mroz ranked second in the MVC with 4.10 saves per game and posted five clean sheets, good for the second-most in the conference. In 2025, Mroz established himself as one of the top keepers in the country. His .950 goals against average ranked 46th nationally, while his save percentage of .750 was good for 60h. In MVC play, Mroz was especially stout, leading the league in goals against average (.714), save percentage (.839), and shutouts (4) in regular season play. For his efforts, Mroz became the first-ever Ace to be named MVC Goalkeeper of the Year, and became the first player in program history to be selected in the MLS SuperDraft, being taken in the third round with the 83rd overall pick by Minnesota United FC.
An accomplished goalkeeper in his own right, Killam played at Defiance College from 2019-23 and holds numerous programs records, including most career saves (429), most career minutes played in goal (6,047), and most career shutouts (13).
