Anderson

FC Springfield-SpringHigh Select is pleased to announce Stephanie Anderson as head coach for the developing High School Girls soccer team(s) planned for the fall of 2009.

Anderson is entering her first season as the graduate assistant coach for the Drury women’s soccer team. Previously she served as assistant coach for two seasons at Nebraska Wesleyan University, a Division III Institution, where she also played for four years.

During her playing career, Anderson started 69 of 73 matches and never missed a game in her four seasons. She helped her team achieve an overall record of 50-18-5 (.719) as a player, including back-to-back GPAC regular season titles in 2005 and 2006. In addition, she helped NWU extend its unbeaten streak at home to 26 matches (23-0-3 since Oct. 11, 2003), which ranked as the second longest active streak in NCAA Division III. 
 
Individually, the former forward ranks ninth all-time in career goals (32), was an All-Conference performer for three years and earned four letters for the Prairie Wolves. As a sophomore she was named offensive MVP and received the honor again as a senior, when she was also named team MVP.  

Anderson received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from NWU and will be pursuing a master’s degree in communications from Drury University.

“We are very happy that Stephanie will be directing the girls program. We believe it will be very beneficial for young women to continue their development with a positive role model who has achieved so much on and off the field,” said FCS-SpringHigh Select Club Director Cliff Nurnberg.
