Becky Maines
Becky Maines is in her second season as the head coach of the St. Olaf women's soccer program in 2023-24 after being named the program's eighth head coach on June 30, 2022.
In her first season at St. Olaf, Maines led the Oles to a 10-7-1 (.583) overall record and a 7-3-1 (.682) mark in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in 2022. The 10 wins matched the program's most since 2010 and the seven MIAC victories were tied for the most in program history. St. Olaf claimed its first-ever victory in the MIAC Playoffs with a quarterfinal win over Saint Mary's.
In 2022, St. Olaf had 10 Academic All-MIAC honorees, one United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-Region honoree, one United Soccer Coaches All-Region selection, three College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honorees, three All-MIAC selections (including the league's co-Rookie of the Year), and one Honorable Mention All-MIAC selection.
A former NCAA Division II student-athlete at Erskine College, Maines came to St. Olaf with 17 years of coaching experience at the NCAA Division I level, most recently as the assistant coach at the University of Minnesota from 2018-21. She has also previously worked at Ole Miss, Tennessee Tech, and Auburn, as well as her alma mater.
At the University of Minnesota, Maines was part of the coaching staff that helped guide the Gophers to a Big Ten Tournament title and a second-round appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2018. The Gophers did not allow a goal in their first four postseason games before falling on the road in the second round to fourth-ranked UCLA.
Following her three seasons at Minnesota, Maines was the director of coaching at the U13 and U 14 levels for Tonka Fusion Elite, while also serving as a U13 girls coach for the club. Prior to her time in Minneapolis, Maines was the co-head coach for FC Dallas WTX (2016-18), the assistant coach at Ole Miss (2010-15), the head coach at Tennessee Tech (2008-10), the assistant coach at Auburn (2003-08), and the head coach at Erskine (2002-03).
While at Ole Miss, Maines was the recruiting coordinator for a program that brought in top-25 recruiting classes in the country in 2012 and 2014. She led Tennessee Tech to back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) Tournaments in 2008 and 2009, including a run to the championship game in 2009, which was its first appearance in the title game since 2000. Her five-year tenure at Auburn included three Southeastern Conference (SEC) West titles, four trips to the NCAA Tournament, and a record of 58-32-11 (.617).
All told, Maines coached seven All-Americans, four conference Offensive or Defensive Players of the Year, four College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-Americans, 26 all-conference honorees, three National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) draft picks, and 68 conference academic honor roll honorees during her time at the NCAA Division I level. The teams she has coached have made seven NCAA Tournament appearances, won five conference championships, and earned 12 United Soccer Coaches Academic Awards.
During her playing days, Maines was a two-time team captain and two-time Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference (CVAC) All-Tournament Team member at Erskine, where she helped lead the team to its first conference title by scoring the game-winning goal in the championship game. She graduated from Erskine with a bachelor's degree in physical education, went on to earn a master's degree in health and physical education from Tennessee Tech, and was inducted into the Erskine Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015.

In addition to her standout playing career, Fiedler has coaching experience as a head coach for Salvo Soccer Club in Woodbury and Hudson Soccer Association.
During her career as a Golden Gopher, Fiedler started all 87 of the games she played in from 2015-18, recording four goals and 26 assists, with the latter ranking tied for fourth in program history. The run of 87-straight starts is the second-longest run of consecutive starts in program history.
