Boiling Springs, N.C. - On October 6, 2012, Gardner-Webb men's soccer head coach Tony Setzer was recognized prior to the Runnin' Bulldogs home soccer match with VMI for his 25 years of service and dedication to Gardner-Webb University as the men's soccer head coach.

Setzer was given a plaque from the Gardner-Webb Athletics Department recognizing his many highlights throughout his time at the helm of the men's soccer program. However, what was not only a surprise to Coach Setzer, but to many, was that Associate Head Coach Tyler Kettering had enlisted both current and former soccer players for their help in getting a special gift for their head coach's silver anniversary.

That gift would be two round trip tickets, for both Coach Setzer and his wife Kristen, to London, England where the Setzer's would receive tickets to a Chelsea FC soccer match versus the Arsenal FC, as well as special access behind the scenes for an inside look at Chelsea's locker room, trophy room and a jersey signing.

"Both Kristen and I truly enjoyed ourselves," Setzer stated. "The whole trip and experience was truly amazing and we cannot thank TK (Tyler Kettering), Mr. Swaby (Craig Swaby's father) and the entire Gardner-Webb men's soccer family enough for what was an unbelievable gift."
