DELHI, N.Y. (August 23, 2021) - First-year SUNY Delhi men's soccer head coach EJ Reutemann has announced Derek Beers as his top assistant coach for the 2021 season. Beers, a native of nearby Franklin, N.Y., competed for Reutemann at SUNY Cortland from 2016 to 2019 during his time there as an assistant coach.
