College Soccer Academy iD Camp in Livermore - Girls

Under McGuire’s tutelage, the Bears have amassed six All-Americans, 35 All-Region performers and 44 All-Pac-12 honorees. The team has seen consistent contributions from freshmen as 14 have been named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team. The Bears have also won numerous awards as McGuire helped guide Arielle Shipp to the 2015 Pac-12 Player of the Year Award and Angelina Anderson was named National Freshman of the Year in 2019. Anderson also picked up Pac-12 Goalie of the Year and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2019, the second time a Bear has won both of those honors as Emily Boyd was the 2017 Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Year and Ifeoma Onumonu was the 2012 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.

Additionally, the Bears have excelled in the classroom since McGuire has taken over as Cal has had 24 members of the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team, including eight on the 2019 team, which was a record for most women’s soccer student-athletes on an All-District team since the award was founded. Cal has also had 153 Pac-12 All-Academic honorees during McGuire's tenure. In 2020, Emily Smith was named the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, becoming the first Bear to win the award.

Throughout the 2020 season, Cal had to deal with uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bears played their games at Witter Field against a conference-only schedule in the spring of 2021, finishing the year with a 5-7-1 record. The youthful squad won three of their first four games, and followed with a victory over Stanford. Three players earned All-Pac-12 recognition and two representatives on the All-Pac-12 Freshman Team. Emily Smith was honored as the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was one of four Bears named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team. Cal had 20 players named to the Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll in 2020-21.

The Golden Bears got off to an historic start to the 2019 season, winning their first eight matches of the year. Cal’s 8-0 start matched the Bears' 2000 squad for the second-best start to a season in program history and the Bears quickly established themselves as one of the top defenses in the nation. Cal was the last team in Division I soccer to allow a goal in 2019 and recorded six consecutive shutouts to start the season, tied for the second-longest shutout streak in program history and the program’s longest shutout streak to begin a season. Cal went on to post an overall record of 13-5-3 on the year, including a 5-3-3 mark in Pac-12 play to finish fifth in the conference standings. The Bears registered a pair of Top-10 wins over No. 4 USC (3-0 on October 18) and No. 7 UCLA (2-1 on September 27), sweeping their LA rivals for the first time since 1996. With it's 11th 10-win season in the last 13 years, Cal earned an at-large berth to the 2019 NCAA Tournament, making the 26th postseason appearance in program history. Four players earned All-Pac-12 recognition at the conclusion of the 2019 season, headlined by Angelina Anderson, was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Year, becoming the first player in conference history to collect both honors in the same season. A Division I best eight Golden Bears were also named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team for their efforts in the classroom.

On both the domestic and international levels, McGuire has overseen the development of multiple national team players, including US Women’s National Team superstar Alex Morgan. A four-year Bear, Morgan, is currently a member of the U.S. National Team, captured the 2015 and 2019 Women’s World Cup titles and won gold at the 2012 London Olympics, in which she scored three goals, including one game-winner. She also won bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and took second place at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Morgan, one of most decorated Cal women’s soccer player in history, also was the No. 1 draft pick in the 2011 WPS draft, marking the first-ever top draft prospect for the Bears.

McGuire has also worked with numerous other Bears who have played internationally for their countries. New Zealand Football Ferns’ stars Daisy Cleverley and Betsy Hassett are two examples as Hassett has played at three world cups and three Olympics, while Cleverley has played with the Ferns at the 2015 and 2019 World Cups and made her Olympic debut in Tokyo. Additionally, Icelandic National Team member Katrin Omarsdottir debuted for the team in 2006 and played more than 65 matches for the team.

A number of McGuire’s players have inked professional soccer contracts across the globe. Cal has had seven NWSL draft picks in the past six years. Most recently, Emily Smith was drafted in the 2021 draft, but elected to return to Cal for one more season, before beginning her professional career with Racing Louisville. Cal currently has 16 players playing professionally across the world. The 2013 graduating class was impactful as four players signed professional contracts out of college - Rachel Mercik (FFC Turbine Potsdam), Nina Pedersen (Liverpool LFC), Emily Kruger (KR Reykjavik) and Genessee Daughetee (Montpellier Herault). Additionally, former Bear Samantha Witteman was selected as the No. 10 pick in the 2016 NWSL Draft by the Orlando Pride.

McGuire is the Bear’s all-time leader in victories as he has tallied 160 victories in 14 seasons with the Bears. He set the school record for all-time wins in Cal’s 2017 season opener vs. UC Irvine as the Bears won, 2-1. The Bears have gone to 12 NCAA Tournaments during his tenure, including a streak of 11 straight appearances from 2007-17.

The 2018 season saw a youthful Bears squad finish 5-12-2, but showed continued development throughout the course of the season despite untimely injuries. Striker Abi Kim, who missed most of preseason while competing for the United States at the Under-20 FIFA Women's World Cup in France, earned All-Pac-12 (Third Team) and All-Region (Third Team) recognition after leading the Bears in scoring for the second consecutive season. The Bears continued to excel in the classroom, collecting the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the sixth year in a row and posting the team's highest cumulative GPA in over a decade.

The 2017 campaign saw the Golden Bears earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and the opportunity to host in the opening round, wrapping up the year with a record of 13-6-1, including a 6-4-1 mark in Pac-12 play. This was Cal's fourth consecutive season with at least 13 wins and the Bears' tenth season 10-win season in 11 years under McGuire. Ranked in the Top 20 nationally for the majority of the season, the Golden Bears rank among the top defensive teams in the nation in 2017. Six Cal players were recognized by the conference for their play this season, including a pair of First Team All-Pac-12 Selections in defender Indigo Gibson and goalkeeper Emily Boyd. Boyd was also named the Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Year, the first player in program history to earn that distinction. Gibson was later named a 2017 First Team All-American while Boyd earned Second Team All-America recognition. McGuire has now coached five players to All-America seasons in his tenure at Cal, including a pair of First-Team All-Americans in Gibson and Alex Morgan '10. Gibson went on to be named a semifinalist for the 2017 MAC Hermann Trophy, Cal's first since Morgan was a Hermann Trophy finalist in 2010. Eight Golden Bears earned Pac-12 All-Academic recognition and Cal earned the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic award for the fifth consecutive season.

The 2016 season saw the Golden Bears record their sixth straight 10-win season during McGuire's tenure and ninth in 10 years. Cal ascended to as high as No. 10 in the National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) national rankings while producing three positive results against ranked teams - a 1-1 draw against No. 10 UCLA, a 4-0 win at No. 15 Texas Tech and a 1-0 victory over eventual national champion USC. Six players were honored by the Pac-12 for their efforts on the field - Ifeoma Onumonu (All-Pac-12 First Team), Arielle Ship (Second Team), Emily Boyd (Second Team), Emma Fletcher (Second Team), Mia Corbin (All-Freshman Team) and Abigail Kim (All-Freshman Team). Onumonu (First Team), Ship (Third Team), Boyd (Third Team), and Haley Lukas (Third Team) were each named NSCAA All-Region while nine total players were named Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention: Onumonu, Ship, Fletcher, Lukas, Kelly Fitzgerald, Lynsey Hromatko, Miranda Nild, Alexa Vandevanter and Heather Walleigh. Other highlights of the season included Boyd tying the school single-season shutout record (11) for a second straight year and earning several Player of the Week awards (NSCAA, Pac-12, NCAA, TopDrawerSoccer) the week of Oct. 10.

Cal ended the 2015 season with a 13-6-3 record finishing fourth in the Pac-12 conference, and produced some electrifying soccer. The season started with a bang with Cal winning the Duke Nike Invitational with a win over nationally ranked Duke, and a tie against 22 time national champion North Carolina. Cal’s signature win on the season was a 7-0 victory over perennial national power UCLA. Sophomore goalkeeper Emily Boyd tied a school record of 11 shutouts on the season and Arielle Ship was named Cal’s first ever Pac-12 Player of the Year. Samantha Witteman and Ari Ship were named First team All-Pac-12, Celeste Bourielle and Emily Boyd were named to the All Pac-12 Second team and Emma Fletcher was an honorable mention for Pac-12 honors.

In 2014, Cal wrapped up a 14-6-2 season under McGuire with a 5-4-2 record in the Pac-12 to finish tied for fifth in the league. After hauling in one of the nation's top five recruiting classes, McGuire directed his 12 new freshmen and a young Cal squad to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The 2014 team averaged 2.14 goals per game, turning in 47 goals from 15 different players, and shut out seven opponents. Three Golden Bears were named to All-Pac-12 teams, adding to 10 Pac-12 All-Academic honors, and received an NSCAA team academic award for yet another strong season both in the classroom and on the field.

In 2013, Cal went 11-5-5 in its best start in 20 years. The Golden Bears went unbeaten through 13 games before eventually dropping a game to eventual National and Pac-12 champions UCLA. Cal clinched a 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament berth, losing in the first round to Santa Clara. Following the season, three Bears earned All-Pac-12 and NSCAA All-Pacific Region honors. Cal was just as strong in the classroom, with 11 Pac-12 All-Academic selections and an NSCAA team academic award.

The 2012 Bears went 16-6, finishing third in the Pac-12 and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to San Diego State 2-1 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Four Bears earned All-Pac-12 and NSCAA All-Region nods – Hassett, Onumonu, Emi Lawson and Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick as Cal took home its first-ever Pac-12 Freshman of the Year award for Onumonu.

Cal won 12 matches in 2011 - its most since 2007 - and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship. The Bears, who climbed as high as No. 11 in the national rankings during the year, knocked off Santa Clara on the road in the opening round of NCAAs and nearly advanced to the third round of the tournament, falling to No. 16 Boston College in penalty kicks. Four Bears earned All-Pac-12 honors - Danielle Brunache, Hassett, Lauren Battung and Fitzpatrick - and a record 13 individuals were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team, with Hassett also gaining NSCAA Scholar All-American recognition.

In 2010, Cal produced its seventh consecutive winning season and 24th in school history, going 9-6-5 overall and 4-4-1 to finish fourth in the competitive Pac-10 Conference. Cal advanced to its seventh straight bid to the NCAA Tournament and third consecutive trip to the state of Florida for postseason play. In Gainesville, Fla., the Bears lost, 2-1, to No. 2-seeded Duke.

McGuire guided Cal to finish the 2009 season at an 11-9-1 clip for the program's sixth-consecutive winning record and the 23rd in school history. The Bears went 4-5-0 in the Pac-10 to finish tied for sixth in the conference. With an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, the year's selection marked Cal's 17th playoff bid in program history, the 11th in the last 12 years and the sixth straight. Thanks to a 2-1 overtime win over Auburn in the opening round, the Bears advanced to the second round, in which they lost, 3-0, to host and No. 1-seeded Florida State.

Under McGuire's direction, the 2008 squad recorded the program's 23rd winning season, finishing 10-9-1 overall and going 3-5-1 in Pac-10 play to finish sixth in the competitive league. The 2008 campaign also saw Cal earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament for its fifth consecutive and 16th overall trip to the postseason. The Bears fell, 2-1, to No. 7 Florida in Gainesville, Florida, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Morgan, who scored the eventual game-winner to lead the U.S. to a gold medal in the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup in December, led Cal in points (23) and goals (9). The team had nine players named to the Pac-10's All-Academic team.

In 2007, after spending two seasons as head coach at Texas Tech, McGuire directed Cal to a 15-5-1 overall record, to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and to a No. 11 national ranking. Cal finished in a tie for third place in the Pac-10 with a 6-3 mark, including a six-game winning streak to close the conference schedule. Overall, the Bears went 7-0-1 over their final eight games and carried that momentum into the 2008 season.

After the season, Morgan, Cal's top goal scorer, trained with the U.S. U-20 national team in preparation for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup Nov. 19-Dec. 7, 2008, in Chile. Morgan was one of six Cal players to earn postseason Pac-10 honors, including first-team selection Courtney Hooker, who was also a second-team Soccer Buzz All-American. Morgan and Megan Jesolva garnered second-team Freshman All-America accolades from Soccer Buzz.

In addition to his responsibilities at Cal, McGuire served as one of the head coaches on the Region 4 Olympic Development Program staff, on which he has led the 1995 and 1994 age groups. In 2010 and 2011, he coached the Mustang Blast to back-to-back Northern California State Championships, winning the Far West Regional Championships in 2011 before finishing tied for third in points at the USYSA National Championships.

McGuire arrived in Berkeley with a proven track record of vast improvement at his two previous Division I stops.

He served as head coach at Mississippi State from 2000-03, taking over a program that was just 4-16 the year before his arrival and, within two years, improved the Bulldogs' record by 8.5 games.

McGuire averaged nine wins per season at MSU and established school records for overall wins and conference victories during the 2001 season. He was tabbed as the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year when he guided the Bulldogs to the first-ever women's conference title in Mississippi State athletics, leading his team to a share of the 2001 SEC Western Division championship. McGuire then spent the 2004 season as an assistant at Texas, during which the Longhorns finished with a 15-7-2 overall record, placed third in the Big 12 Conference and notched a No. 16 national ranking.

In 2005, McGuire moved to Texas Tech as head coach and quickly proved his rebuilding skills again. The Red Raiders went from one-game winners in his first season to notch seven wins in 2006 - most for the program in seven years. In addition to his collegiate experience, McGuire served as head coach of the Region 3 Under-19 team in 2002, 2004 and 2005.

McGuire began his head coaching career at Iowa Central Community College from 1996-97. He also served as an assistant at Iowa State (1998) and Arizona State (1999).

A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, McGuire earned his associate's degree in physical education with an emphasis on coaching from Telford College in Edinburgh before relocating to the United States. Upon his arrival, McGuire attended Augusta State University (Ga.), at which, while earning a bachelor's degree in psychology, he was named first-team All-Peach-Belt Athletic Conference four consecutive years. He was also a three-time NSCAA all-region selection. McGuire earned his master's of education degree with an emphasis in sports administration in 2003 from Mississippi State.

McGuire's professional career includes time with the Falkirk Football Club in Scotland, the Des Moines Menace Professional Soccer Club and the Arizona Sahuaros Professional Soccer Club.

McGuire holds a United States Soccer Federation Class A license. He joined the University of California family with his wife, Jesica, daughter, Kelyn, and sons, Ethan and Owen.

Joyner is 85-62-20 in nine seasons as a NCAA head soccer coach and 127-77-27 overall. Under her leadership, the Aggie program improved each season, culminating in a 13-5-2 record in 2024 as UC Davis led the Big West in scoring and set a school record for wins in a season as an NCAA Division I program. A year earlier, Joyner was named the Big West Coach of the Year.

“Tracy is a proven winner with the energy and the experience it will take to elevate Oregon Soccer into contenders both in the Big Ten Conference and nationally,” said UO director of athletics Rob Mullens. “She has successfully built programs at every level from junior college to Division I and we are excited to have her lead the Oregon Soccer program forward.”

During her tenure at UC Davis, the Aggies were 49-37-8 overall in five seasons and 25-17-6 in the Big West. UC Davis posted a winning record each of Joyner’s final four seasons. The Aggies went 10-8 in 2021, 9-6-4 in 2022 and 10-7-2 in 2023 ahead of the record-setting season in 2024.

Joyner’s last two seasons saw the Aggies go 23-12-4 overall and 12-4-4 in the Big West. UC Davis finished second in the league standings and advanced to the semifinals of the Big West Tournament three consecutive years (2022-24).

The Moraga, Calif., native is also part of an exclusive group of women who have earned the United European Football Association "A" Coaching License. Worldwide, less than one percent of coaches who have attained that level of expertise are female.

“I am beyond excited to embark on this journey and lead this soccer program toward becoming a perennial powerhouse,” said Joyner. “This opportunity is a dream come true, and I’m deeply honored to be entrusted with this responsibility.

“Together, we will build a program rooted in belief, consistency, competitiveness, and trust – values that will drive us to new heights. I’m eager to get started and help shape a team that will not only excel on the field but also serve as a model of excellence, both in the classroom and the community.”

Joyner, who was an all-Pac-10 defender at California, coached two Big West players of the year and produced 15 all-conference honors. Sam Tristan was the league’s 2024 Offensive Player of the Year, while Leslie Fregoso was the Big West Midfielder of the Year in 2023.

The Aggies had four all-Big West selections in 2023 and 2024 after producing three all-conference picks in 2021 and 2022. Joyner also coached five conference all-freshmen selections and four all-region players at UC Davis.

Among the highlights from her time there was the Aggies’ 1-0 upset of No. 5 Santa Clara during the 2022 season. It was the program’s first win against a ranked opponent. During her inaugural season in 2019, she coached UC Davis to its first win at Long Beach State since 1984.

Following a 7-11 record in her first season, the Big West Conference canceled the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. The Aggies roared back in 2021 with a 10-8 season, their best record in six years. UC Davis went 6-2-2 in the Big West and finished second, an accomplishment the team would repeat the next two years.

The Aggies were 9-6-4 overall in 2022 before an historic 2023 season that saw the program earn Big West coach and midfielder of the year honors for the first time ever with a 10-7-2 record. Joyner’s team led the conference in goal differential (plus-10) and goals against average (0.944), while also ranking second in total goals (27).

UC Davis was even better in Joyner’s final year at the helm, 2024. The 13 wins were the most ever by the Aggies as a Division I program and overall, were the school’s most in 20 years. UC Davis led the Big West in goals (41), assists (40) and points (122).

“I am truly grateful to the athletic department’s search committee and, especially, to Athletic Director Mullens for this incredible opportunity,” said Joyner. “Under his leadership and vision, I am confident that I will have the support needed to help this program move in the direction towards long term success. I look forward to working closely with him and the entire athletic staff as we build something special together.”

As a player, Joyner (then Tracy Hamm) was a four-year letterwinner at Cal from 2002-05. She was a Pac-10 all-conference honoree in 2005 after leading Cal to a 16-4-1 record and helping the Bears advance to the NCAA Third Round – the program’s best finish in three decades.

Joyner was a three-time Pac-10 all-academic team selection (2003-05) and a two-year team captain (2004-05). After playing on the offensive side of the field earlier in her career, Joyner started every match on the back line throughout her final two seasons and helped Cal earn three NCAA Tournament berths (2002, 2004-05).

She led the team with nine goals and was named Cal's freshman of the year her first season in Berkeley (2002). Joyner scored a hat trick (three goals) against Fresno State that season.

Joyner earned United Soccer Coaches All-West Region honors as part of Cal’s record-setting defense in 2005. That year, the Golden Bears set the school mark for team goals against average (0.48) and shutouts (14). Joyner also recorded an assist during Cal’s 2005 victory (5-0) against Oregon in Eugene.

She was inducted into the Cal Soccer Hall of Fame – known as the "Lair of Legends" – in 2019.

What They’re Saying About Tracy Joyner

“Tracy Joyner is a dynamic leader and experienced head coach who is ready to take the Oregon program to the next level. She develops strong relationships with student-athletes and is a proven winner and program builder.”
- Kevin Blue, CEO and General Secretary, Canada Soccer

“Tracy is one of the nation’s best coaches. In her time at Cal, she was nothing short of inspirational. Our players loved her, followed her, looked up to her and admired her. There is no question in my mind she will be a brilliant ambassador for the University of Oregon and bring the soccer program to heights yet unrealized.”
- Neil McGuire, head coach, University of California


Following her collegiate career, Joyner played for the California Storm in the WPSL (2006-08). With the launch of the Women's Professional Soccer league in 2008, Joyner was selected 28th overall in the WPS General Draft by the FC Gold Pride. She also represented the Atlanta Beat in 2009.

In May 2022, Joyner was inducted into the California Storm Hall of Fame alongside World Cup and Olympic gold medalists Brandi Chastain and Leslie Osborne, as well as FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner Sissi from Brazil.

Joyner’s coaching career began at her alma mater, where she was an assistant coach for the 2009 season.

She later took over as head coach at Santa Rosa Junior College from 2012-14, and led the Bear Cubs to a 42-15-7 overall record, the 2012 Big 8 Conference title, and consecutive berths in the second round of the California Community College Athletic Association playoffs.

Joyner was named Big 8 Conference Coach of the Year in 2012 after leading Santa Rosa to a 15-3-3 overall record and the league title. The Bear Cubs followed that campaign with a 14-win season in 2013 and 11 of her student-athletes from that squad earned scholarships to four-year universities.

Joyner then moved up to the NCAA Division II level at San Francisco State where she directed the women's soccer program to a 36-25-12 record from 2015-18. The Golden Gators had a winning record during all four of Joyner’s seasons, including back-to-back 10-win campaigns in 2017 (10-5-3) and 2018 (10-6-3).

Joyner led San Francisco State to a berth in the 2018 CCAA tournament where the Gators advanced on penalty kicks over Cal State San Marcos in the first round before falling to No. 10 UC San Diego in the semifinals. Her first two seasons saw the Golden Gators post back-to-back winning records for the first time since 2002 with identical 8-7-3 marks in 2015 and 2016.

While at SFSU, Joyner helped student-athletes earn 48 CCAA All-Academic Team awards, 14 All-CCAA women's soccer honors — including a trio of first-team selections, two United Soccer Coaches all-region selections, and SFSU's first-ever CCAA Goalkeeper of the Year selection.

While coaching at San Francisco State, Joyner was also the head varsity girls coach at St. Ignatius High School in San Francisco and led the Wildcats to the 2019 West Catholic Athletic League title, a berth in the CIF Central Coast Section championship game and a spot in the CIF Northern California Regionals.

She also served as a coach for the Livermore Fusion Soccer Club (2015-2019) and as the technical director for the Heritage Soccer Club in Pleasant Hill, Calif. (2003-2010).

Joyner graduated with a bachelor's degree in mass communications from California in 2006, and holds two master's degrees: an Ed.M. in counseling specializing in sport psychology from Boston University (2011) and a master's in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia University (2014).

Joyner is among a handful of American women to hold the prestigious United European Football Association "A" Coaching License. Her story was highlighted in a short documentary titled ‘Coach’ that premiered in New York in the spring of 2019. Nearly 50,000 coaches currently possess the UEFA "A" License, but only one percent of those are women.

She earned her UEFA "A" License from the Welsh FA in 2019, United States Soccer Federation (USSF) "B" Coaching License in 2017, and United Soccer Coaches National Diploma in 2009.

Joyner also serves on the WIS (Women in Soccer), is a Goal Five Ambassador and has been a keynote speaker at the WPSL Convention.

Randy Dedini, who has thrice been named Big Sky Coach of the Year, enters his 16th season as head coach of the Sacramento State women’s soccer team in 2022021. Dedini, who took over the squad in 2007, has guided the Hornets to unprecedented success, including two NCAA Tournament appearances and two conference titles, both firsts in school history. He is the winningest coach in program history in terms of total wins and winning percentage.

Dedini, who ended the 2020 season with a career record of 106-110-41(49-47-19), has guided Sacramento State to .500 or better conference records in eight of his 14 seasons, including a regular season Big Sky title in 2007 and an undefeated 5-0-4 showing in 2019. The Hornets also won the Big Sky Conference Tournament title in 2007 and again in 2010 to earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Dedini was named Big Sky Coach of the Year following the 2007, 2010, and 2016 seasons.

2020's COVID-impacted season concluded in a 3-4-4 overall record, the three wins tied for fewest in a season under Dedini, though the 11 total matches were also the fewest played by the team by far. The year started strong, as the Hornets expected their regular season unbeaten streak to 22 matches before falling in a road Big Sky match.

That streak started in 2019 when the Hornets put together a Big Sky record-setting 11-2-6 (5-0-4 Big Sky) season. The Hornets went 17 straight matches without a loss, a program and conference record. Despite a Big Sky tournament semifinals loss, the regular season unbeaten streak extended into 2020 with a 1-0-4 start before finally ending at 22 matches.

In 2017, Dedini lead the Hornets to an 8-8-4 finish, including a 3-3-4 mark in Big Sky competition, good for sixth in the conference and a spot in the postseason tournament. 2017 marked the third straight season in which the Hornets advanced to the postseason, matching the program record. Sacramento State last advanced to three consecutive postseasons from 2005 through 2007. The 2017 team had six all-Big Sky selections, including three First Team selections, the team's most since 2010. In addition, Kylee Kim-Bustillos was named the Big Sky's Newcomer of the Year, the second straight year the award was won by a Hornet.

Former California Lutheran University star goalkeeper Gabby Flores joined the Cal Poly women's soccer program as an assistant coach specializing in goalkeeping in the spring of 2023.

Flores, a member of the Cal Lutheran women’s soccer team from 2017-21, was a five-time Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Defensive Player of the Week for the Regals. In 2017 as a freshman, she helped the program reach the Sweet Sixteen in the Division III NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.

After graduating from Cal Lutheran in 2021, the Santa Maria native and Mission College Prep grad began coaching for the Central Coast United Soccer Club in San Luis Obispo in the spring of 2022. She also served as an assistant varsity coach at San Luis Obispo High this past season.

Flores said she’s had a strong relationship with associate head coach Scott Williams for a number of years and her ties to the area and the Central Coast United helped foster this opportunity to join the Mustang coaching staff.

“I’m hoping to bring lively energy,” she said, “and I hope to share and relate to anybody on the team, even if it’s just one person to just help them in their soccer journey and push the program.”

In 2018, Flores received All-SCIAC First Team honors, recording eight complete game shutouts for the Regals. That season, Flores entered postseason play ranked No. 1 in Division III in goals against average and save percentage. She allowed just four goals across 1,115 minutes between the posts and finished the year with 48 saves.

In her final season at Cal Lutheran in 2021, Flores was named All-SCIAC Second Team, posting seven shutouts, a 0.85 goals against average and a .815 save percentage across 16 starts.

Flores graduated from Mission Prep in San Luis Obispo in 2017. She was named Second Team All-League twice for the Royals and during her senior year earned Goalkeeper of the Year and First Team All-League honors. Flores also played for Central Coast United, when the club team was previously called the SLO Storm.

Flores, who assisted Cal Poly on a limited basis last season, said when her playing career came to a close, she knew she wanted to find a way to stay involved with the sport — so she started coaching.

“Soccer has always been there for me,” she said. “I’m not one to settle and I wanted to share my experiences.”

In 2018, Flores survived a tragic mass shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks. That devastating event changed her perspective on life and pushed her to give back to soccer in her community.

“It made me realize I wanted to leave an impact someway somehow,” she said. “Now every time I show up here and every time I’ve shown up to coach kids I think about how lucky I am and how awesome it is to be able to share my experiences and lead the next generation of soccer players out of the Central Coast."

Flores is extremely grateful for this opportunity and is looking forward to helping the team reach new heights.

“I hope to challenge the program and I hope to challenge the goalkeepers most importantly,” she said. “I think they’ve had a great foundation of work, but I think there’s more to go and I think the limits have yet to be pushed.”

Flores earned a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations from Cal Lutheran in 2021, and is currently finishing up her master’s degree in business from the school.

Cameron brings not only her coaching experience to the Gaels but also brings more than 10 years of playing experience at the highest level of soccer.

Her playing career began at Washington State University, where she featured in 74 games throughout her four-year career with the Cougars. Although she played as a defender, Cameron wasn’t averse to scoring or assisting, scoring one goal and assisting three more over the course of her collegiate career.

Soon after Cameron then left England altogether, playing one season for Lugano Femminile in the Swiss league, before leaving again, this time for Italy. She found a home in the Italian league, playing one season in the Serie B with the Ravenna Women, before joining one of the biggest clubs in Italy, Napoli, where she played in Italy’s Serie A from 2019-2021.

After Cameron hung up her cleats in 2021, she returned to her hometown of Castro Valley to kickstart her coaching career. Having coached intermittently in-between her playing career, she took up a coaching role in the Dublin United Soccer League. That same year, Cameron also founded her own coaching academy, You + You Performance Coaching, where she works with athletes, coaches, and organizations to help improve performance through mental skills and various strategies.

While still coaching in the Dublin United Soccer League and running her business, Cameron took up the Women’s Assistant Coaching position at Holy Names University last summer.
