His talented group of backs will chase more points during this Saturday's game at home against the Mudgee Wombats.
In the space of just 70 minutes last weekend the students blew out 80-5 winners over the Parkes Boars but they're not willing to dial back the intensity for another game they're expected to win.
However, Wombats sit third in the competition and will be hungry to put space between themselves and the battle for fourth.
Koen and CSU head coach David Conyers first met playing rugby in Parramatta, where Koen racked up more than 200 appearance for the Two Blues in the Shute Shield.
This year's coaching duo have injected attacking flair into the CSU ranks, both up front and out wide.
Their reunion at the university - which came around a year after Koen made the move to Bathurst - has lead to an amazing season to date for the CSU men.
Koen said the CSU group have been a pleasure to work with.
"They've scored a lot of tries and have looked quite good," he said.
"There's a good bit of spirit there. They like to use the ball and there's boys there who have a bit of speed."
Of course, it's not just the backs who have helped make the wins happen.
CSU's forwards may lack experience and size compared to other clubs in the competition but their adherence to the game plan has paid dividends.
"There's been great support from our forwards to get us the points," Koen said.

"When you can't go through the middle then you've got to find a way to go around them or over the top."
CSU have so far racked up nine wins from 10 games and are already assured of a semi-finals place regardless of results over the next month of play.
However, Koen believes dominance can come with problems.
Their sole loss, against competition leaders Narromine Gorillas, showed there's still plenty of work to be done, and that any complacency could be a killer.
"I'd like for us to have three or four tough games going into the semis because I think that's what we need," he said.
"We're all looking forward to that next game against Narromine because we were disappointed not so much by the result but more by the performance out there.
"Narromine looked really well organised. As Dave said after that game it looked like men against boys. That game showed us that we've still got work to do."
Charlie Mansfield and Nick Plunkett have steered the ship well at scrum and fly half respectively while current wing duo Harry Hunt and Nick Greenberg provide strong finishing options out wide.
Mat Brouff has excelled at fullback while centres Jack Keppel and Regan Hughes have had a hand in countless CSU tries.
"They work really well together. They're two great young guys," Koen said of the centres.
"They're both talented in different ways and from my point of view that helps them compliment one other.
"Unfortunately in that game against Narromine they didn't get as many chances as we would have liked."
CSU meets Mudgee at University Oval from 3.15pm.
