“Excited to see that Kyle Kenney will be able to help out both our women’s and men’s programs in this new role,” said Winthrop head men’s soccer coach Daniel Ridenhour. “He has a good eye for the game, will be a hard worker on the recruiting trail for both programs, and has a desire to learn and improve as a coach.”

“We’re excited to have Kyle working with the women’s program,” said Spencer Smith, head women’s soccer coach. “He has a good background having worked with the men’s program and we feel he will provide great assistance with our program.”
