J.R. Dodson

J.R. Dodson enters his third season as the head coach of the Glenville State Women’s Soccer program.

Under Dodson's direction last season, sophomore Merel Smets scored another four goals. With her doubling her career total she became the program’s all-time leading goal scorer.

J. R. Dodson is a native West Virginian with a passion for soccer. Combining this passion with over 15 years of coaching experience and a Master’s in Coaching from West Virginia University, Coach Dodson brings a unique perspective to Glenville State Women’s Soccer Program. He believes strongly in the value of team and focuses on individual education and skill development while maintaining team accountability and a strong positive culture.

In his first year as head coach, Dodson led the Glenville State Women’s Soccer program to its most successful season to date. The Lady Pioneers finished the 2021 campaign with a 4-14 record. This marked the most wins in the history of the young program. The Pioneers also finished the season with the most conference wins in school history.

In his first season with the Pioneers, Dodson coached one All-MEC Freshman Team selection Merel Smets.
