Jan. 17, 2008

Green Bay, Wis. - Trevor Warren, an 18-year veteran collegiate soccer coach, has been named the head coach for the Green Bay women's soccer program, Director of Athletics Ken Bothof announced today.

During his collegiate coaching career, Warren has served as the head coach for two collegiate programs and has appeared in four NCAA tournaments. Warren was on the sideline as an assistant coach with the University of Portland as the Pilots claimed their first-ever NCAA women's soccer title. He boasts a head coaching record of 103-38-7 in eight years at the NCAA Division II level at Mercyhurst and Lock Haven, starting the Lock Haven program from scratch.

"We are excited to have someone with Trevor's experience and credentials to lead our women's soccer program," said Bothof. "We are confident he will guide our program to success both on and off the soccer field."

Warren comes to Green Bay following a season as an assistant at Northern Iowa, where he aided the Panthers in posting a 6-10-2 record in 2007. It was the team's second-best season in program history and matched the team's win total of the previous three seasons combined.

Prior to his stint at Northern Iowa, Warren served as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's soccer programs for three seasons at the University of Portland. In 2002, his first season with the Pilots, Warren assisted former Olympic and national head coach Clive Charles and the women's program to its first-ever NCAA title. Warren also worked with two-time National Player of the Year, Christine Sinclair.

"I'm excited to be a part of Green Bay athletics as the head coach of their women's soccer program," said Warren. "It's an exciting time for Green Bay women's soccer; the soccer facilities in the Kress Center show the department's dedication to the team's success. We can build our team to be competitive in the Horizon League and, ultimately, the national level. I'm eager to get going."

Warren gained collegiate head coaching experience at NCAA Division II Lock Haven (Pa.) University, where he led the Lady Eagles to a 44-25-3 record over the program's inaugural four seasons. Along the way, Lock Haven posted back-to-back regular season conference titles in 1996 and 1997.

A United States Soccer Federation `A' licensed coach, Warren also spent six seasons at Mercyhurst (Pa.) College, where he was the head coach of both the men's and women's soccer programs. As the head coach for the women, Warren guided the Lakers to the 1993 NCAA Division II Final Four and a quarterfinal appearance in the 1991 NCAA tournament while compiling a 59-13-4 mark.

Warren got his collegiate coaching start as a men's assistant coach with stints at SUNY Brockport and Gannon (Pa.) University.

No stranger to success at the club level as well, Warren spent nine seasons coaching club soccer in Oregon, including seven years with FC Portland before serving as the Director of Coaching with Southside Soccer Club in Portland, Ore., for two years. Under his watch, FC Portland claimed three state titles and a U-18 US Club Soccer national championship in 2003.

Warren also has an advanced national diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and an English Football Association coaching license. He has also coached at the Olympic Development level, serving as a staff coach for Pennsylvania West from 1988-97, Oregon from 2001-06 and the Region IV program from 2003-05.
