Emmy Meyring

Emmy Meyring became the head coach of Caltech Women's Soccer in July of 2023.


Meyring joins the Beavers by way of an illustrious soccer journey, competing in the Elite Club National League before playing for four years at Azusa Pacific University. She earned the captaincy for her senior year and wrapped up her intercollegiate playing career by earning all-conference honors. On top of earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, she gained coaching experience at the youth level in what would be the beginning of much more.


Meyring then headed north to Central Washington University, where she served as the Wildcats' assistant coach while attending graduate school. After one season as an assistant, she was named Acting Head Coach for the 2021 season and earned a Master of Science degree in Athletic Administration. Returning to Southern California and Azusa Pacific last year, she most recently worked as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for her alma mater.


The new Beaver will lead a talented group of players in 2023 after the team posted its most successful season in program history last fall.


"I could not be more excited to take on the responsibility of leading the Caltech Women's Soccer Program," Meyring said of her new role. "I cannot wait to continue to build and grow the legacy."

Duncan Gillis

Duncan Gillis was named to be the 17th head coach in the history of the Caltech men's soccer program on June 2, 2021.


Gillis is coming off a six-year stint at his alma mater Beloit College, where he was named to the United Soccer Coaches 30 Under 30 Class for 2019-20 while leading the Buccaneers during a period of significant growth. He mentored the program's first player to be named First Team All-MWC since his own sophomore season in 2012 for the team that broke the program record for fewest goals allowed in a season and recorded the second-most wins ever. Prior to becoming the Bucs' gaffer, Gillis spent the 2014 season as a part-time assistant, where he helped design practice sessions, determined training objectives, provided tactical analysis before and during games, and handled additional administrative tasks. He holds a National, Advanced National, and Premier Diploma from United Soccer Coaches, their highest technical certification.


The Salt Lake City, Utah native graduated from Beloit in the Spring of 2014 Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Spanish and Education and Youth Studies and a Philosophy minor. He completed his degree with student teaching at Beloit Memorial High School during the 2014-15 school year, advancing from assisting and observing to full-time teaching.
