Utah Tech University Athletics

The 2025 season will be Nick Vorberg's fifth on the men's soccer coaching staff and third with the women's program.

In 2024, Vorberg mentored goalkeeper Stockton Short to a tie for the most saves in the country, setting the Utah Tech single-season record with 105 stops. Short also earned WAC Goalkeeper of the Week honors on Oct. 14 after a shutout at San José State (10/10) with five saves and allowing just one goal on a penalty and putting up a career-best 11 saves, the most single-game saves by a Trailblazer in the DI era, at Seattle U (10/13). On the women’s side, GK Brianna Frey tied for the Utah Tech record for career saves with 167. Frey also logged a single-season career-best 1.41 goals-against average and .791 save percentage.

Vorberg came to Utah Tech after serving in various positions with Marquette University’s men and women’s soccer teams since 2012, having served as a full-time assistant coach with the women's soccer program for four seasons. 

His primary duties at Marquette included training and mentoring the MU goalkeepers in addition to camp instruction. Vorberg helped Marquette’s women’s team to Big East Regular Season and Tournament Championship titles. He also helped the men’s soccer team to Big East regular season and tournament championships as well as two NCAA appearances. 

A Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) standout goalkeeper with the Milwaukee Wave, he garnered the league's goalkeeper of the year award following the 2009-10 and 2012-13 seasons, respectively and ranks second on the Wave's all-time list in wins. He helped the Wave to three MISL Championships in 2005 and back-to-back seasons of 2011 and 2012 and also served as an assistant coach with the Wave.

In June 2013, Vorberg played with the U.S. Futsal national team at the Four Nations Tournament in Newcastle, England, where the U.S. team won all three of its matches.

In 2010, he was inducted into the Pacific University (Ore.) Athletic Hall of Fame. As one of the top goalkeepers in school history, Vorberg earned all-conference and all-region accolades in 1996 after guiding the Boxers to the Northwest Conference championship and a No. 20 national ranking. His 17 victories that season are a school record. He also held Pacific's single-season mark in saves upon graduating with an education degree and a minor in Japanese.
