After his freshman year, he transferred to Kentucky Wesleyan.[4] He averaged 12 points and 4 assists during the 2003–2004 season but was redshirted the following season as KWC was given a one-year postseason tournament ban by the Great Lakes Valley Conference. In the summer of 2005, he left KWC after receiving a scholarship from Georgetown College in Kentucky.[5] During his two seasons there, he was voted to Mid-South Conference All-Conference team in 2006 and 2007.[6]

Schoen averaged 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists for the 2010–2011 season but KFÍ finished with a 5–17 record and were relegated back to Division I. He returned to KFÍ for 2011–12 season and was instrumental in leading the team to a league best 17–1 record and promotion back to the Úrvalsdeild karla.
