Matt Garrett is entering his 16th season as head coach of Gettysburg’s women’s soccer team in 2022. Garrett is the third head coach in the 34-year history of the program and owns a 142-80-32 (.622 winning percentage) record through his first 15 campaigns, including an 85-42-13 mark in the highly competitive Centennial Conference (CC). He recorded his 100th career victory with a 1-0 win over Muhlenberg on Oct. 22, 2016.

Under Garrett, the Bullets have posted 12 consecutive winning seasons and have won at least 10 matches eight times. Gettysburg has competed in the postseason in 10 of the last 11 campaigns. The team returned to the national playoffs for the first time in five seasons in 2019, compiling a 13-5-1 overall record and finishing runner-up in the conference tournament. The Bullets maintained a spot in the regional rankings throughout the campaign and ranked as high as 25th in the Division III poll.

Prior to his return to Slippery Rock, Garrett spent three seasons as an assistant men’s soccer coach at NCAA Division I Robert Morris University. The Colonials won the Northeast Conference regular-season championship in 2001 and made the conference playoffs in all three seasons with Garrett on the staff.

Garrett has also achieved success as a coach at the club level. He coached the Pennsylvania Under-19 champion Northern Steel in 1998. At the Under-16 level, he mentored his team to the 2003 and 2004 regional championships and qualified for the U.S. Club Soccer National Championships in the top Premier Division.

A four-year starter and letterwinner at The Rock, Garrett was named captain his senior season. After graduating with a bachelor’s in sports management, he went on to play semi-professionally for various English soccer clubs in the south of western England. Along with these impressive credentials, Garrett has amassed a number of awards and certifications, including National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) National and National Advanced Coaching Badges and English FA Prelim and Goalkeeping Badges.
