Dunda's overall record at Geneva is now 127-59-26 (66%).  His program has finished with a winning record in every season he has led the program, including in 2016 when the Golden Tornadoes won the PAC Championship.  His teams have also advanced to the PAC playoffs every season but one under his leadership.

In addition, Associate Head Men's Soccer Coach Teddy Krzywiecki was an integral part of this year's staff.  The 2021 spring season was Krzywiecki's second on staff at Geneva.  Krzywiecki is a graduate of Geneva where he put together an all-conference career playing for the soccer team from 2009-12, including three seasons that he played under Dunda.
