CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Coe College Director of Athletics John Chandler has announced the hiring of Scott Myers as the new head coach of the Kohawk women's soccer program. Myers takes over for Homer Screws, who will focus on coaching the men's program only.

A 2001 graduate of Coe College, Myers was most recently the head coach at Menlo College for three years. During his time at Menlo, he led the Oaks to their first postseason appearance in school history. He also coached 11 First Team All-Cal Pac Conference players. The Oaks also had three Cal Pac Defenders of the Year, two Newcomers of the Year and a Player of the Year.

Along with various club teams, Myers was an assistant coach at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University from 2008-10 and at the University of Redlands from 2006-08. While at Embry Riddle, they qualified for the NAIA National Tournament in 2008 and 2009.

"We are pleased to have someone with the background that Scott has leading our program," Chandler said. "By bringing in Scott to coach the women's team, it will allow both him and Coach Screws to focus on one team apiece. This move will help lead our program to the top half of the Iowa Conference."

To go with his Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Secondary Teaching from Coe, Myers earned his Masters in Higher Education from Redlands in 2008. He also holds a USSF National C License, NSCAA Goalkeeping Diplomas at levels I, II and III, NSCAA National Distinguish Pass license, NSCA Advanced National Distinguish Pass license and a NSCAA Premier Diploma.
