App State Director of Athletics Doug Gillin announced Aimee Haywood as the new head coach for the women’s soccer program Dec. 16, bringing a conclusion to their national search for the role.
“We wanted someone who was a proven winner that has won everywhere they’ve been,” Gillin said.
Haywood joins the Mountaineers from Queens University of Charlotte, where she spent two seasons there as its head coach, completely changing the program in two seasons. Before Haywood’s arrival, Queens never reached the final for the South Atlantic Conference, and the program has only made it to the second round of the NCAA Championship once.
