In 2012, the Bucs finished with a 10-6-4 record which included a win over No.17 ranked UAB, and ties with No.14 Wake Forest and No.25 ranked Furman. ETSU also earned several all-conference awards, with David Geno garnering A-Sun Player of the Year Honors.

During his time at ETSU, Luya has been a part of several firsts for the young program. These have included ETSU being ranked nationally at No. 25 NSCAA and No. 19 by Soccer America in 2011, and in 2010 ETSU having a historic season with a record of 15-6-0 on the way to winning the A-Sun Conference Tournament and advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in only the program’s third year of existence.

Prior to ETSU, Luya served as the assistant coach at Stetson University where he helped the Hatters to their first NCAA berth in 2005 and regular season Atlantic-Sun title in 2006. Luya also coached the Kalamazoo Kingdom PDL team in 2004.
