“We are excited about the future of our ACHA programs going forward,” Trine assistant vice president for athletics Matt Land said in a university statement. “Kyle has shown himself to be a strong asset of Trine University and this new position is illustrative of that. Zach’s experience will be a great tool for building our program going forward.”
Williams was named head coach of the ACHA D3 team in January 2021, and was an undergraduate assistant coach for the ACHA teams as a sport management major at Trine. He worked exclusively for the NCAA DIII men’s hockey team during the 2019-20 season before becoming a head coach.

Most recently, Sens coached at Talawanda High School in Oxford, Ohio. There, he was named Cincinnati Coach of the Year in 2020 and 2021, as well as Ohio High School Coach of the Year in 2021.
