University of Lynchburg

Scott Zaring rejoined the Lynchburg men's soccer staff prior to the 2017 season, coming home to Lynchburg from Widener University in Chester, Pa., where he was assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Pride. He transitioned from a graduate assistant role to a volunteer position prior to 2019.

In the most recent 2025 season, the Hornets clinched a 19-2-2 overall record and posted the second-highest win total in program history. Lynchburg toppled Washington & Lee 2-1 in the ODAC Championship, which led to an eventual NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. Zaring helped the team to 13 shutouts and mentored three All-American honorees.

A Lynchburg alumnus, Zaring played at Randolph College, Southern Virginia University, and finally for the Hornets. A goalkeeper on that team, he helped the Hornets to an ODAC championship and a berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament in 2014. 

Zaring has assisted the Jefferson Forest High School boys' soccer team on three different occasions, helping the Cavaliers capture the 2011 VHSL Group AA state championship. He also served as an assistant for coach Chris Yeager's 2015 Lynchburg men's squad.

He has also coached junior teams for FC Richmond and Central Virginia United. Additionally, he is a USSF E and D licensed coach.
