C-SC women’s soccer coaching staff receives Region Staff of the Year honor

CANTON, Mo. — The United Soccer Coaches Association recognized the  Culver-Stockton College women’s soccer coaching staff of Tyler Tomlinson, Javier Magallon and Wendy Arnett as the Central Region Staff of the Year at the NAIA level.

Under the direction of Tomlinson, who completed his 11th season at the helm, the Wildcats went 13-4-2 overall and 8-3-1 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, including a 1-0 victory over 17th-ranked Missouri Valley College and a victory over national tournament participant Friends (Kan.). 

The 13 overall victories matched the 2003 team for the single-season school record, and the eight league victories were the most in program history. The Wildcats also landed four players on the All-Heart team and hosted a Heart postseason playoff game for the first time.

Each of the 60 (30 men’s and 30 women’s) staffs receiving Regional Staff of the Year honors will be recognized at the College Coaches Awards Ceremony at the United Soccer Coaches Convention in January. In addition, the Regional Staff of the Year recipients have been placed on the ballot for United Soccer Coaches National Staff of the Year consideration within their respective division.
